connection and a measurement microphone,
and is available separately. The GLM software
is downloaded free of charge at www.genelec.
com/glm. As mentioned, some Genelec dealers
offer system installation, setup and calibration as
a service. Please consult your local dealer.
The “MAINS INPUT” on the 6040R supports all
mains voltages globally (100–240 VAC, 50–60 Hz).
6. ISS Automatic Power
Management
In its automatic energy saving mode, known as
Intelligent Signal Sensing (ISS™), your 6040R
consumes less than one Watt of power and
you never have to turn off your loudspeakers.
Sensing either an analogue input signal or a
valid digital audio transmission (even when
silent), the loudspeaker automatically wakes up
to full operation. The waiting time before the
loudspeaker enters the ISS power saving mode
can be set using GLM software or with the “ISS
TIME” switch on the base panel of the 6040R.
ISS can be deactivated completely using the
“ISS” switch on the same base panel.
7. Loudspeaker Setup Using GLM
While the 6040R can be set up using the controls
on the loudspeaker, we recommend using GLM
software via the control network to enable the
6040R to reach its full potential. Here we’ll
describe this process, and you can also find a
more detailed description in the GLM System
Operating Manual.
1. Download and install GLM software at
www.genelec.com/glm.
2. Connect a CAT5 (RJ45) cable between each
loudspeaker (and subwoofer) and nally
to the control network input of the GLM
Adapter (see Figure 5). Then connect the GLM
Adapter device to your computer via the USB
connector.
3. Connect the Genelec measurement
microphone to the microphone input of the
GLM Adapter.
4. Using a microphone stand, place the
measurement microphone at your listening
location with the microphone pointing
upwards and the top of the microphone
positioned at the listener’s ear height.
5. Follow the simple on-screen instructions
within GLM software to measure and set up
your loudspeakers.
6. If you don’t plan to use your computer for
controlling the loudspeakers after calibration,
you can store the calibration settings into the
loudspeakers themselves (menu item “Store |
Store the Current Group Settings…”).
After the GLM network is disconnected,
select these stored settings by switching the
“STORED” switch on the base plate of the
loudspeaker to “ON”.
8. Loudspeaker Setup
Without GLM
Use the settings on the base plate of the
loudspeaker for system setup. These settings
provide the basic acoustical calibrations and
input selection. Set the “STORED” switch to the
“OFF” position.
The following controls are available:
LOW BASS
The Low Bass control reduces the output of very
low bass frequencies, near the cut-off frequency
(see Figure 8). The attenuation levels can be set
to –2 dB, –4 dB or –6 dB (both switches ON).
This is useful in rooms with significant low bass
resonances.
