These days, the content that you deliver could be broadcast via a diverse range of platforms and playback devices, and the viewer’s expectations have never been higher. That’s why your studio monitors need to provide an absolute reference, without artificial hype or colouration: only then can you be sure that you are hearing ‘the truth’, and can mix with confidence.

Inferior monitors often suffer from a distinctly unbalanced frequency response, making it impossible to correctly judge a mix’s quality, and leading you to apply corrective EQ just to compensate for the monitor’s shortcomings. By contrast, every Genelec monitor leaves our factory with a beautifully flat frequency response, with the ability to adapt to your studio environment via simple rear-panel room correction EQ switches, or our powerful GLM calibration software if you choose our range of smart active monitors.

From our most compact nearfield to our largest full-range monitor, our users will tell you how consistent the sound is across the entire range. Every model carries the same Genelec DNA that results in neutral playback, amazing directivity and a wide sweet spot with a distinct lack of colouration both on and off axis. Add to that the ability to optimise our monitors for each of your rooms using our onboard room compensation EQ - or the GLM calibration software feature of our smart active monitors – and you have the perfect monitor family for equipping a multi-room facility.

This is a real benefit to both house and visiting engineers, both of whom will instantly feel comfortable with what they are hearing – even when sitting in a room for the first time. No time will be wasted ‘learning the room’, thereby giving you maximum efficiency.

Mixing in immersive allows the engineer to create a sense of envelopment and realism like never before, but as channel count and mix complexity increases, the need for neutral, uncoloured monitor playback with precise imaging becomes even more important. Genelec offers a scalable monitoring solution for any size of immersive audio application – from the smallest mix room to the largest dubbing theatre, but there are some important criteria to be aware of….

Reliable immersive mixing depends on every monitor in your system being accurately aligned for level, distance and frequency response – and no solution does this better than Genelec smart active monitors, which integrate with our GLM calibration software to ensure that every monitor in the system delivers a consistent and truthful sound character – whatever the room.
