Genelec 9301A Multichannel AES/EBU Interface
Introduction
Congratulations and thank you for
purchasing the Genelec 9301A multichannel
AES/EBU interface intended for 7300 series
subwoofers. This manual addresses the
setting up and use of the Genelec 9301A.
The low frequencies in multichannel digital
audio AES/EBU signals can be monitored
by using the 9301A connected to one or
more 7300 series smart active monitoring
(SAM) subwoofers, for example products
7360A and 7370A. These products have
one built-in AES/EBU input and one output,
enabling direct monitoring of two digital
audio channels. The 9301A multichannel
AES/EBU interface expands the digital audio
connectivity to 8 audio channels or to 7.1
channels when the low frequency effects
(LFE) channel is also used.
The 9301A unit connects to a subwoofer
with a simple one-cable link. This cable is an
AES/EBU cable and carries the sum of all the
main channel inputs and the LFE channel (if
used) as the two AES/EBU subframes.
The AES/EBU output on the 7300-series
subwoofer connector panel allows easy daisy-
chaining using a single cable onwards to
multiple subwoofers to enhance and increase
the subwoofer acoustic output capacity.
The GLM (Genelec Loudspeaker Manager)
software manages the 9301A and sets the
correct settings to enable communication
between the 9301A and a 7300 series
subwoofer.
Each 9301A is supplied with a mains
cable, one 5 m GLM network cable and an
operating manual. Before connecting up,
ensure that the mains power is switched o.
The energy saving Intelligent Signal
Sensing (ISS) function can be turned on in
the 9301A to put it automatically into a power
save state when no AES/EBU input signal is
present. In the power save state the 9301A
consumes less than one watt of power.
