How to duplicate a group?
A group can be duplicated. This is a safe way to manually edit acoustic settings.
Choose a group to be duplicated. From the setup menu choose ‘Duplicate Active Group’. This
creates a full copy of the selected group with all acoustic settings included.
How to compare a calibrated and an uncalibrated system?
After a group has been calibrated and the calibration has been confirmed, the acoustic settings are
set for the group and stored in a setup file.
An uncalibrated group can be created by selecting a calibrated group and then adding a “New
Group” (using ‘Group’ menu) and pressing ‘Confirm without Calibration’ button. This operation
retains the selected group but clears all the acoustic settings to the factory settings.
How to calibrate SAM systems for different listening positions?
Groups can be used to calibrate SAM systems for different listening positions (sweet spots). First,
create a group and calibrate it to the first listening position. Then, choose this group and choose
menu command ‘Group | Add Group’. Name the new group and make the necessary edits to it and
click the ‘Confirm Group’ button. Next, place the Genelec calibration microphone at the second
listening position and run calibration by double-clicking on the measurement microphone icon.
After both groups are created and calibrated, the location-specific calibration for each listening
position can easily be selected by selecting the corresponding group tab in the main GLM window.
