GENELEC CONTROLEUR 9320 SAM

UNIO empowers professionals to confidently work anywhere. As a key UNIO element, the 9320A integrates in-room and headphone monitoring for a single, reliable workflow – completely personalised for total accuracy.

With its flexible connectivity, reference grade headphone output and physical control of our adaptive technologies, the 9320A is the ideal hub for professional audio work – from stereo to immersive – in any space.

Whether working in acoustically treated studio environments, at home, in temporary spaces or on the road, UNIO and the 9320A ensure a seamless listening experience when switching between professional in-room and headphone monitoring.

With UNIO, the power of our adaptive technologies is now easier to access than ever before, so you can confidently work beyond the studio.

“Audio professionals in music, broadcast, post-production and game audio are increasingly wanting the flexibility to work wherever and whenever they want, even if that sometimes involves unpredictable and challenging acoustic environments.

To be able to switch instantly between well calibrated in-room and headphone monitoring without any interruption in workflow is crucial to this way of working, and so we see UNIO and the 9320A as powerful tools in creating a truly next-generation reference quality monitoring system.”

As a bridge to UNIO, the compact 9320A enables you to create, optimise and manage a single, liberating workflow – for professional loudspeaker and headphone monitoring options, from stereo to immersive and beyond, which are easy to access, trust and cross-reference, wherever your work takes you.

Management of scalable Genelec Smart Active (SAM) Monitoring systems

With tactile control of key functionality in Genelec Loudspeaker Manager (GLM™) software, the 9320A provides an intuitive, quick-to-access physical user interface with clear haptic feedback – allowing you to speed up your workflow and hide the graphical user interface of GLM, so you can retain focus on your DAW.

Easy management of alternative monitoring systems in one room

Having GLM control at your fingertips enables fast switching and management of in-room SAM Monitoring layouts, while the 9320A also provides level alignment and standard control of directly connected stereo monitoring systems. This simplifies movement between monitoring options and allows you to fully trust what you hear. Working with any DAW and audio interface system, the 9320A – with GLM – can handle an unlimited channel count for SAM Monitoring systems. And alternative stereo loudspeaker monitoring is easily connected using in-device AES/EBU and analogue inputs.

Intelligent one-button switching for seamless in-room and headphone monitoring

The 9320A also provides level alignment for headphone monitoring, meaning it's able to switch from any of your monitoring systems to another without a level change. This gives you smooth and easy switching between all loudspeaker and headphone-based monitoring, without the need to readjust the monitoring level each time.

Versatile in-device monitoring options

Stereo and stereo-with-subwoofer monitoring systems can be directly connected to the 9320A using its analogue and AES/EBU input/output connectivity, while the 9320A can also be used as a USB output interface for high resolution stereo audio input from a computer. The 9320A outputs support both fixed line level output in ‘SAM’ mode and adjusted line output. Both modes are available over its balanced analogue outputs and AES output. This makes the 9320A compatible with any professional loudspeaker monitor or headphone sets.

High-quality DAC conversion of signal

It's also possible to use the 9320A as a high-quality converter from analogue inputs to AES out and from AES to analogue outputs – as well as converting USB audio input to any output. This makes it hugely versatile – and an extremely effective hub for professional monitoring tasks. The maximum level of the analogue balanced line input can be set to +12 dBu or +24 dBu. The USB audio and AES digital audio inputs to AES digital output offer an A-weighted dynamic range of 138 dB.
