Monitors / Monitoring

An image in Genelec’s GLM manual suggests placing a subwoofer in a position to send the direct sound waves right through the underside of the mixing desk. Is it perhaps not an obstruction issue because the sub‑80Hz frequencies aren’t so directional?

If you need more low end from your monitors, adding a sub can be very tempting — but is it the right option for you?

What would a modern, immersive studio look like if you had the opportunity to re‑invent it from the ground up? The answer, at least as far as the recently revamped Studio 4 at RAK is concerned, is very different to most people’s idea of what a professional studio looks like.

Aki Mäkivirta, R&D Director at Genelec, talks to Sam Inglis about the latest developments in immersive audio, GLM measurement software and Aural ID technology.

Siamäk Naghian and Andy Bensley of Genelec chat to Sam Inglis about the 43 year history of the company, the development of new technology and future sustainability.

I wish to do some surround mixing in my home studio. I already have stereo monitors... Can I just add three more of the same speaker?

We cut through the hype to show you what really matters in speaker specifications.

Monitors are better than they've ever been — but they're still the weakest link in most studios. We trace the technology from its roots in the 1930s, and find out whether there's a DSP revolution on the way.

Why do so many monitor manufacturers persevere with reflex-loaded active monitors? 

There are many decisions to be made when choosing a monitoring system. Infinite baffle, reflex, or transmission line? Active, powered, or passive? Bi-wired or bi-amped? We help you find the answers you need.
