Can analog and digital signal sources be mixed?
Yes and no. One type of signal can be used in one group. However, it is easy to create two groups,
one for analog input and another for digital audio input. After this, switching from one group to the
other will select the input signal type.
How to switch between analog and digital signal?
Groups can be defined to select analog or digital input signal. Both types of signals can be
connected to Genelec SAM monitors.
The group definition contains the selection of analog or digital audio input signals. The selection
applies to all monitors and subwoofers in the group.
Note that a digital signal cable carries typically two channels of audio. For this reason the channel
to be reproduced needs to be selected for each SAM monitor by selecting the subframe A or B.
The GLM 2.0 software offers default values that cover the most common channel pairings (for
example, in digital stereo, the subframe A is selected for the left monitor and the subframe B is
selected for the right monitor).
What does ISS mean?
ISS a Genelec trade mark and it means Intelligent Signal Sensing. ISS will put monitor or
subwoofer to a low power consumption state if there is not audio or control signal detected for a
certain period. When monitors and/or subwoofer go into ISS state, they will wake up from it if audio
or control signal is detected again.
Why are my 8250 monitors not going to ISS state?
Some models do not support the ISS feature. These models are 8240A, 8250A, 8260A, 1238CF,
7260A, 7270A, 7271A, SE7261A.
What is the “Not used in this setup” bin in the Layout page?
This bin, or box, is typically used to place unused 8130 channels when defining the number of
monitors connected to a SE7261 subwoofer. For example if 2 x 8130 are connected to input /
output #1 on the SE7261, 8130 monitor channels 1A and 1B will come off the Stack and be placed
onto the Layout Grid. The unused monitor channels 2A thru 4B (total of 6) should be dragged into
the ‘Not used in this setup’ bin.
