Frequently Asked Questions - S360A GENELEC

How do I set up the S360A without GLM software?

You can use the stand-alone controls on the rear panel. Set the Stored switch to OFF. Then adjust Bass Roll-Off, Bass Tilt, Treble Tilt, Desktop, Level, and ISS using the DIP switches and rotary control. The front panel LED indicates status (green, red, yellow).

What is the GLM system and how does it benefit the S360A?

GLM (Genelec Loudspeaker Manager) is a software and hardware system for automatic acoustic calibration, alignment, and level setting. It provides features like AutoCal, parametric notch filters, and shelving filters. It is recommended to fully optimize the monitor's performance in any room.

Can I mount the S360A on a wall or ceiling?

Yes, the S360A has M10 mounting points on all four sides. Genelec offers optional brackets: S360-424B for top-bottom and S360-450B for side-side. These work with wall mounts, ceiling mounts, floor stands, and truss mounts. Remove the Iso-Plate before attaching brackets.

How do I connect the S360A to a digital audio source?

Use the DIGITAL IN AES/EBU XLR connector. It accepts 16-24 bit, 32-192 kHz signals. The DIGITAL OUT provides an unaltered copy for daisy-chaining up to four monitors. Channel selection is done via the Digital DIP switches (A, B, or sum).

What is the ISS feature and how does it work?

ISS (Intelligent Signal Sensing) automatically puts the monitor into deep sleep (< 1 W) after 60 minutes of no input signal. When an input signal is detected, it wakes instantly. It can be enabled/disabled via the rear panel switch or configured in GLM.

How do I interpret the front panel LED colors?

Solid green: normal operation. Blinking green: GLM is adjusting. Green blink every 10 sec: ISS sleep state. Red blink: power amplifier overload protection active. Solid red: monitor muted. Yellow: not in active group. Yellow blinking: overheat protection active.

What are the recommended subwoofers for the S360A?

Genelec recommends the 7300 series, especially the 7380 and 7382 models. The S360A has a built-in highpass filter (50-100 Hz in 5 Hz steps) selectable via GLM for seamless integration.

How do I clean and maintain the S360A?

There are no user-serviceable parts inside. Do not open the enclosure. For cleaning, use a soft dry cloth. Ensure sufficient airflow around the monitor (50 mm minimum clearance). If the unit is moved from cold to warm, wait 0.5-1 hour before powering on to prevent condensation.

What is the maximum SPL the S360A can produce?

The maximum short-term sine wave output is ≥ 118 dB SPL at 1 m. Long-term RMS with IEC weighted noise is ≥ 112 dB SPL. Peak output per pair with music material can reach ≥ 128 dB SPL at 1 m.

Can I use the S360A in a nearfield setup?

Yes, due to its well-controlled dispersion, the S360A can be used in midfield or nearfield applications. However, be cautious of high SPL levels at short distances. Review the Safe listening practice section in the manual to avoid hearing damage.

Introduction

Congratulations and a thank you for the purchase of a Genelec Smart Active Monitor™ (SAM™) system. This manual addresses the stand-alone setup and use of the S360A monitor. SAM monitors can also be set up from a Mac or a PC using the Genelec Loudspeaker Manager GLM™ and the proprietary Genelec monitor control network, offering much more versatile acoustic settings and features. Please find more details in the separate GLM Operating Manual.

Housed in a compact, low diffraction enclosure with premium quality Finnish woodwork, the S360A features a further enhanced 10-inch high efficiency and minimal distortion woofer based on Genelec's Master Series, and an integrated extended Directivity Control Waveguide DCW™ supporting its 1-inch compression driver. A thirty-two mm (1 ¼ in) thick front baffle and critical bracing minimise panel vibration for pristine sound quality.

The S360A is a precision monitor with neutral and well-controlled sound characteristics on its acoustical axis, uncoloured off-axis response, and 95-degree (horizontal) to 75-degree (vertical) dispersion for accurate directivity control across the entire audio band. Like other new SAM monitors, it features constant acoustic group delay above the lowest octaves, i.e. linear phase response, without introducing latency incompatible with production requirements.

The S360A's fusion of high SPL and compact size makes it perfect for demanding film, post and music production, including play-live monitoring. In combination with a subwoofer, the S360A satisfies the demands of premium home theatres, EDM playback or Dolby film mixing even in rooms where the listening distance exceeds 10 metres (33 feet). Due to well-controlled dispersion, S360 may also be used in midfield or even nearfield applications. If doing so, please be sure first to read the Safe listening practice paragraph in this manual.

The S360A provides two pairs of enclosure mounting points, and its integrated system electronics can be placed remotely using the 2U high rack installation kit. Versatile mounting is further supported by downward-firing flow optimised laminar integrated reflex ports LIP™, also making it suitable for use in conjunction with perforated screens. To focus low frequency output while preventing vibration transfer and air turbulence, S360A includes an innovative Iso-Plate™, which effectively decouples the monitor from its base when standing. Tailor-made S360A mounting brackets for wall, ceiling, stand and truss installation may be acquired separately.

Package content

The package contains

• one S360A monitor
• one mains cable, length 1.8 m (6 ft)
• one 5 m GLM network cable
• this operating manual

System setup using GLM Control Network

Although S360A can be used without the GLM software and control network, it can only reach its full potential when set up and calibrated using the GLM software. Genelec recommends setting up SAM monitoring systems using the GLM application. Please find a more detailed description of the setup and use in the separate GLM System Operating Manual.

The GLM software can be downloaded at www.genelec.com free of charge. The necessary hardware for creating the control network - GLM Kit (order number 8300-601) - is sold separately at your Genelec dealer. The main components of the kit are the calibrated measuring microphone and the GLM Adapter, which links the computer running the software, measuring microphone and all monitors and subwoofers together.

Genelec Loudspeaker Manager GLM and the proprietary Genelec monitor control network offer automated acoustic equalization, alignment and level calibration for any reproduction system from simple stereo to very complex 3D immersive audio setups including also one or more subwoofers. GLM setup is fast and accurate. Settings can be controlled with a Mac or PC or they can be permanently stored in the monitors to make them available at all times, even when a computer is not connected.

The setup is fast and consists of the following steps:

1. Connect a CAT5 (RJ45) or higher category cable between each monitor (and subwoofer) and finally to the control network input of the GLM Adapter device (see Figure 1).
2. Connect the GLM Adapter device to computer USB connector.
3. Using a microphone stand, place the Genelec measurement microphone at the listening location with the microphone pointing upwards and the microphone top at the height of the engineer's ear. The microphone is a part of the GLM User Kit.
4. Connect the microphone cable to the microphone input in the GLM Adapter device.

Figure 3. Connector panel detail.

1. Download the GLM software at the Genelec web site (www.genelec.com).
2. Install the GLM software and follow the instructions in the software to measure and set up your monitors.
3. If you plan to not use a computer for controlling the monitors, use the GLM software to write the setting into the monitors (use menu item "Group | Store Group Settings").

GLM calculates the acoustic compensation for the room in a cloud computer. This enables always up-to-date methods and efficient calculation process. The Stored Settings function using the Genelec Loudspeaker Manager software can be used to store calibration settings into the monitors.

Once the GLM network is disconnected, the calibrated stored settings using the Genelec Loudspeaker Manager software can be selected in use by setting the STORED switch to the ON position found on the rear of the monitor.

Interfaces

All connectors on the S360A face down, making cables easy to run into the monitor and enabling mounting close to a wall.

Connect the MAINS INPUT to the mains supply. Any mains voltage globally can be accepted (100-240 VAC, 50-60 Hz) so the monitor can be plugged in anywhere. When the mains power is provided with a generator, inverter or certain lower-quality UPS devices, we recommend filtering of the mains voltage to reduce harmonics and taking care that the voltage supply is stable.

Type RJ-45 connectors for the CONTROL NETWORK are used with Genelec Loudspeaker Manager (GLM) management network. These connectors are not Ethernet LAN compatible. Do not connect to Ethernet LAN.

The ANALOG IN connector accepts balanced analog audio signals. The maximum analogue input level is +25 dBu. The default input sensitivity is set so that for a -6 dBu input level the S360A produces 100 dB SPL sound level at one meter in free space. The analogue input impedance is 10 kOhm, so line level audio sources can drive it.

Figure 5. Symmetrical layout and keeping the acoustic axis clear from obstructions minimizes reflection surfaces and maintains accurate localisation because reflections are symmetrical.

The DIGITAL IN AES/EBU female XLR connector is for AES/EBU formatted digital audio input signals. This input is selected automatically when a digital audio signal is present, even when the digital audio is silent. The analog input is reselected when the AES/EBU signal input is disconnected. The AES/EBU input supports two channels in a single cable. When the digital source controls the level, it may be advantageous to lower the level setting in the monitor's controls, which will enable a higher digital level and improved use of the digital resolution. The digital input level is referenced to 0 dBFS (dB relative to the digital full scale, the largest level that can be represented in the AES/EBU signal). The S360A sensitivity is scaled to produce 100 dB SPL sound level at one meter in free space for a digital input signal of -30 dBFS.

The DIGITAL OUT male XLR carries an unaltered copy of the digital input signal. This enables daisy-chaining with digital signal up to four monitors.

System monitoring

The S360A supports monitoring of the internal temperature, input levels and levels to the transducers, input clip, and digital audio full scale warning, and activation of the system overload protection. These can be monitored using the GLM Loudspeaker Manager software for all monitors in the monitor group.

Energy saving

Energy saving Intelligent Signal Sensing (ISS) can put the monitor automatically into a deep sleep state where the product consumes less than one watt of power. When the ISS is active you can have your monitoring system ready for action at all times. Upon sensing an input signal the monitor automatically wakes up to full operation.

Safe listening practice

The S360A is a powerful monitor so please observe safe listening habits, and be extra careful if using S360A at short listening distances.

Temporary or permanent hearing damage is caused by sound energy rather than sound power. In other words, a high sound pressure level (SPL) in itself, within reasonable limits, may not be harmful, while even a lower sound pressure, integrated with time, can be. For instance, listening to peaks of around 100 dB SPL generally do not cause damage, while listening at 90 dB SPL integrated over two hours is considered potentially harmful.

A-weighted sound pressure integrated with time is called “sound exposure” (SE), which is the best predictor of potentially harmful sound. Recent studies have shown how SE previously thought to be harmless actually is capable of generating long-term hearing loss, which may even go unnoticed for years because it does not show in standard clinical tests.

Summarising medical research, safe listening habits for adults include keeping weekly SE below 80 dB(A) for 40 hours, which is equivalent to 83 dB(A) for 20 hours, 86 dB(A) for 10 hours etc., i.e. based on an equal energy principle. Per day, assuming two days per week without significant sound exposure, the daily baseline is 80 dB(A) for 8 hours.

Using GLM, listening level may be calibrated to ensure SPL doesn't creep up over the course of a day, to make sound exposure more predictable, and to utilise S360A's power for headroom rather than elevated average listening levels. The latter is especially important when S360A is used in midfield or nearfield applications.

Acoustic considerations

Aim the monitor so that its acoustic axis points towards the listening position (see Figure 5). Vertical orientation is preferable, as this eliminates acoustical cancellation problems around the crossover frequency. Place the monitors symmetrically at equal distances from the listening position. If possible, place the listening position on the left-right centerline of the room (see Figure 5). When a monitor is placed far away (1 to 2.2 m, 3-7 ft) from the acoustically hard wall behind the monitor, an acoustic reflection from the wall may cause cancellation of low frequencies and reduce bass output.

Acoustic reflections from objects like desks, cabinets, computer monitors etc. can cause unwanted coloration and blurring of the sound image. Minimise these by placing the monitors away from acoustically reflective surfaces. Putting the monitors on stands behind and above a mixing console usually improves the response over placing monitors on a meter bridge. Symmetrical positioning of the sound reflecting objects maintains a balanced soundstage (see Figure 5).

Setup without using the GLM and Stand-Alone Control Functions

There are basic acoustic alignment control, input selection and level calibration controls on S360A. When GLM is not available, you can use the settings on the monitor for system setup. These settings are limited but provide the basic acoustical calibrations and input selection. To use this method, set the STORED switch to "OFF".

Although the S360A can be used without the GLM software and control network, they only reach their full potential when set up and calibrated using the GLM software. Genelec recommends setting up SAM monitoring systems using GLM.

Bass Roll-Off Control

The Bass Roll-Off control attenuates the monitor's output near the cut-off frequency. Attenuation levels of -2 dB, -4 dB or -6 dB (both switches "ON") can be selected.

Desktop 160 Hz

The desktop low frequency control (switch 5) attenuates the bass frequencies around 160 Hz by 4 dB. This feature is designed to compensate for the boost often occurring at this frequency range when the monitor is placed upon a meter bridge, table or similar reflective surface.

Bass Tilt

The Bass Tilt control switches (switches 3 and 4) offer three attenuation levels for the bass response below 800 Hz, usually necessary when the monitors are placed near room boundaries. The attenuation levels are -2 dB, -4 dB and -6 dB (both switches "ON").

Treble Tilt

The Treble Tilt control allows adjusting the treble response above 2 kHz by +2 dB, -2 dB or -4 dB, which can be used for correcting an excessively bright or dull sounding system or to compensate for high frequency level loss if the monitor is placed behind a screen. The -2 dB setting is selected by turning both switches to "ON."

LED Disable

This switch shuts off the front panel LED light.

ISS

This switch activates or deactivates the ISS automatic power saving function. The default time for ISS activation is 60 minutes. The waiting time with no input signal before the monitor enters the ISS power save can be configured using the GLM software.

Digital

The Digital switch selects the digital audio channels on the AES/EBU. Turning both switches on reproduces the sum of the A and B channels. A 6 dB attenuation is applied to avoid overloading

the monitor. If the AES/EBU cable is operated in dual-wire mode, the monitor detects this automatically and the channel selection switches have no effect.

Level

The Level switches scale down the monitor output level in 10 dB steps. The effects of these switches add up and combine with the effect of the rotary level adjustment control. The combined total setting range is -42 dB.

Stored

The Stored switch selects the use of the controls on the monitor's back panel or the settings stored inside the monitor memory using the GLM system calibration software. Setting the Stored switch to OFF position selects the settings defined by the monitor's own rear panel controls. Setting the Stored switch to ON position selects the use of internally stored GLM settings. Using the Stored option overrides all adjustments done with the monitor's own controls.

Front Panel Light

Normally, the light on the front panel is green. Red and yellow colours are used to indicate special situations. See Table 2 for more details.

Operating Environment

These monitors are designed for indoor use only. The permissible ambient temperature is 15-35 degrees Celsius (50-95°F) and relative humidity 20% to 80% (non-condensing). When the product has been stored or transported in a cool environment and is taken into a warm room, to prevent condensation of humidity wait 0.5-1 hours before opening

any packing or before connecting to mains power. Sufficient cooling must be ensured. Behind, above and on both sides of the S360A monitor the minimum clearance is 50 mm (2 in). This space must be ventilated sufficiently to dissipate the heat.

Mounting and Placing Monitors

Mounting

The S360A has mounting points on the top and bottom and on the left and right sides. S360-424B top-bottom and S360-450B side-side mount brackets are available for the S360A. These are used with standard Genelec mounting accessories, offering floor stands, wall mounts, ceiling mounts and truss mounts. All mounting points on the enclosure have M10 (10 mm diameter, metric thread) threads. Correct bolts are included with the mounting brackets. The brackets have several hole pairs to allow finding the correct orientation and load balance. The S360A can be turned to point in the correct direction before the bracket bolts are tightened. The tightening torque for the attachment bolts is 10 - 20 Nm (7.4 - 14.8 lb ft).

The S360-424B top-bottom mount bracket is used with the S360-444B wall mount and ceiling mount plate S360-465B. The S360-450B side-side mount bracket is used with the S360-415B floor stand and ceiling/truss mounts.

The Iso-Plate™ is detached before the mounting brackets are used. To do this, remove carefully the four rubber covers on the bottom of the Iso-Plate feet. This shows the mounting screws. Use an M6 Allen key to remove the screws and lift off the Iso-Plate. Remove the four vibration dampers bt turning them anti-clockwise. Store the Iso-Plate and other components for later use. Follow the mounting instructions for the S360A mounting brackets to attach them to the enclosure.

Flush mounting

The unique Iso-Plate vibration decoupling platform enables in-wall (flush) mounting. There are two main methods for in-wall installation.

In method one, the amplifier remains on the enclosure when the monitor is inserted into the recess. There must be sufficient ventilation in the recess space behind of the enclosure to control the temperature of the amplifier. The temperature of the adjacent air must not exceed 35 degrees Celsius (95°F.)

In method two, the amplifier is detached from the enclosure and placed into the 9032A rack mount kit. Then standard Speakon and RJ-45 cables connect the amplifier rack installation kit to the enclosure. The rack mount accessory takes 2U vertical space in the 19 in rack. Sufficient air flow must be ensured to avoid premature limiting of the output level. ELECTRIC SHOCK HAZARD! To ensure electric safety, the removal of the amplifier from the enclosure and its installation to the rack mount chassis may only be done by qualified Genelec service personnel.

Use with Subwoofers

Genelec recommends using the 7300 series subwoofers, particularly models 7380 and 7382 are a good match with the S360A. The S360A contains a subwoofer crossover highpass filter, which can be set between 50 and 100 Hz in 5 Hz increments. This selection is done in the GLM software and
