Genelec brings UNIO Personal Reference Monitoring to AES New York
The highlight of the event was the U.S. debut of our UNIO Personal Reference Monitoring Solution. This advanced system includes the 9320A SAM Reference Controller, a Reference Measurement Microphone, and the new 8550A Professional Reference Headphones. Together, these components offer an unparalleled bridge between in-room loudspeaker monitoring and personal headphone monitoring. Visitors were particularly impressed by the added headphone calibration capabilities offered through our GLM software, as well as the optional Aural ID V2.0 binaural headphone monitoring technology, providing users with a highly personalized and accurate headphone monitoring experience.
Attendees were also treated to immersive demonstrations of a state-of-the-art Smart Active Monitoring™ system, featuring our flagship 8381As as main L-R speakers, an 8361A with W371A woofer system in the center, four 8351Bs for surrounds, four 8341As for overheads, and two 7380A subwoofers. Each component was expertly calibrated using GLM software, ensuring a remarkable listening experience tailored specifically to the acoustics of the exhibition space.
Our team of audio experts were on hand to provide personalized demonstrations and share their wealth of knowledge, making the event an engaging and educational experience for all attendees.
