2. Opsætning
2.1 Udpakning og placering
- Tag forsigtigt skærmen ud af emballagen. Gem emballagen til senere transport eller opbevaring.
- Place the monitors on a stable surface, such as speaker stands or a desk, ensuring they are at ear level in your listening position.
- Maintain symmetry in placement relative to your listening position and room boundaries for optimal stereo imaging.
2.2 Forbindelser
- Strømtilslutning: Connect the supplied power cable to the AC inlet on the rear panel of the monitor and then to a grounded mains outlet.
- Lydindgang: Connect your audio source (e.g., audio interface, mixer) to the XLR input connector on the rear panel of the 8240A. Ensure the cables are balanced XLR for best performance.
- GLM Network Connection (Optional): For advanced control and calibration using Genelec Loudspeaker Manager (GLM) software, connect the monitor to a GLM network adapter using a standard Ethernet cable. Refer to the GLM user guide for detailed network setup instructions.
Vigtig: Always ensure the monitor's power switch is in the OFF position before making any connections.
3. Betjeningsvejledning
3.1 Tænd/sluk
- To power on the monitor, flip the power switch on the rear panel to the ON position. The front panel LED will illuminate.
- For at slukke skal du dreje tænd/sluk-knappen til OFF-positionen.
3.2 Grundlæggende betjening
Once powered on, the 8240A will begin to reproduce audio from the connected source. The monitor's volume and other acoustic settings are primarily controlled via the Genelec Loudspeaker Manager (GLM) software when connected to a GLM network.
3.3 Using Genelec Loudspeaker Manager (GLM) and AutoCal
The 8240A is part of the Genelec SAM (Smart Active Monitor) system, which allows for advanced control and room acoustic compensation using GLM software and AutoCal. This system enables:
- Automatic Calibration (AutoCal): Automatically measures and compensates for room acoustic anomalies, aligning levels, timing, and equalization for all monitors in the network.
- Systemkontrol: Adjust all aspects of monitor settings, including input sensitivity, bass roll-off, treble tilt, and desktop control.
- Koncernledelse: Create and manage different listening groups and settings for various applications.
For detailed instructions on installing and using GLM software and performing AutoCal calibration, please refer to the dedicated Genelec GLM User Guide available on the official Genelec webwebsted.
4. Vedligeholdelse
4.1 Rengøring
- Clean the exterior surfaces of the monitor with a soft, dry cloth.
- Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or strong detergents, as these may damage the finish.
- Avoid spraying liquids directly onto the monitor.
4.2 Generel pleje
- Protect the monitor from excessive dust, moisture, and extreme temperatures.
- Sørg for tilstrækkelig ventilation omkring skærmen for at forhindre overophedning.
- Avoid placing objects on top of the monitor that could obstruct ventilation or fall onto the drivers.
