Genelec 9320A – SAM™ Reference Controller for Precise Monitoring Control
Central Control for Professional Monitoring Setups
The Genelec 9320A is a specialized Reference Controller for Smart Active Monitoring (SAM™) systems, serving as the central control unit for volume, source selection, and system control. It is aimed at users who want to efficiently and ergonomically control a Genelec SAM setup without having to resort to external solutions.
Unlike traditional monitor controllers, the 9320A is seamlessly integrated into the Genelec ecosystem and enables direct communication with GLM (Genelec Loudspeaker Manager) as well as all connected SAM monitors and subwoofers.
Precise Volume Control and Source Management
The controller offers high-resolution volume control that can be set precisely and reproducibly. Especially in professional studio use, where level decisions play a central role, this precision is essential.
In addition, the 9320A allows selection between different input signals and switching between speaker groups – a decisive advantage in more complex setups with multiple monitoring systems.
Seamless Integration into the GLM System
In conjunction with the GLM software, the 9320A becomes the central control point for the entire monitoring system. Speaker setups, calibrations, and room corrections can be directly accessed and controlled without interrupting the workflow.
The result is a consistent, perfectly tuned monitoring system that can be flexibly adapted to different production situations.
Ergonomics for Studio Everyday Life
The clear, functional user interface is designed for daily use in the studio. All important functions are directly accessible, which speeds up work processes and minimizes interruptions.
Especially in complex production environments where quick decisions are required, the 9320A proves to be an extremely practical tool.
Expansion of the SAM Ecosystem
The 9320A is not a replacement for GLM, but a sensible addition. While GLM handles configuration and calibration, the controller provides intuitive and immediate control during operation.
