Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. I havent purchased the Atomos 5 yet but the immages dont show the two screw holes. How is it attached?

A: This photo on our website shows how it is attached to the monitor. It comes with the 2 needed captive thumbscrews. https://bit.ly/38apJ0X

Q: 2. Does this come with a rolling case?

A: This does not ship with a rolling case. A rolling case to look towards can be found here: Telescript CFPS150 Custom Hard Case for FPS150 15" Fold and Go Teleprompter B&H # TECFPS150 - https://bhpho.to/2JEvt7Y

Q: 3. So this remote apparently communicates with the GLM network adapter - does the GLM software need to be actively running on the host computer to use this remote, or can the network adapter simply be powered (by USB I presume) with no GLM software running?

A: Yes, the Genelec 9101A Wireless Volume Control for GLM User Kit is capable of communicating with the GLM Network Adapter when the adapter is powered with a USB adapter as well as while it is connected to a computer over USB. Pages 69/70 of the GLM Operating Manual linked here provide more details: https://bit.ly/3wIhS8U

Q: 4. Is the Shure P3T transmitter included? It's not listed in In The Box

A: Yes, the P3T is included. Its omission from the In the box list is an error on the listing.

Q: 5. Does this amp has a safety protection trip on it ?

A: The manufacturer has not published any specs regarding a fuse link or thermal protection circuit.

Q: 6. I have been told that the Shure PSM 300 Twin-Pack is capable of being used as a wireless speaker system like the SENNHEISER Wireless Speaker System 5 which consists of 1 Transmitter and 2 Receivers. Please let me know if that is doable. I have always wondered if it will damage the speakers or not thanks?

A: Yes, essentially you could use the PSM 300 Twin-Pack as a Wireless Speaker System. They are NOT meant for this purpose, but if the proper cabling is used, proper gain staging, and you have proper line of sight this should cause no harm to the speakers.

Q: 7. Hi, can I buy the beamsplitters for this telescript?

A: I'm sorry but the beam splitter for the Telescript PRS-190 Presidential Prompting System with 19" LCD Monitor is not something we sell separately. You may need to reach out to Telescript for support, their support number is (201) 767-6733 and their email is info@telescript.com

Q: 8. Is that part on top included?

A: It is not, that is a different part.. That is the SHAPE Top Plate for Atomos 5'' Ninja V Recording Monitor, BH #SHNIVTP. https://bhpho.to/3maYucK

Q: 9. .....I just read the description: it says Bass, Treble and Balance Controls YET as I look at the face of this unit, NO bass, NO treble and NO balance controls? What gives? Mistake or are the controls in the back or ...what??....

A: It is available from the Audio Function button and visibly adjusted via the LCD screen MENU.

Q: 10. Can you confirm if it can run on 220V ?

A: The system has a switch on the rear panel for 110 or 220V AC operation.

[Active] I sold my Barefoot Footprint 01 for this sub and a pair of 8330A and 7350A sub and I couldn't be happier! Let me explain why I made this decision. In the recent months, Sonarworks' SoundID Reference has gotten increasingly unreliable on my M1 Max Mac to the point of constantly having to troubleshoot it. On top of that, the Barefoots have shown some issues producing accurate low end in my small-ish mixing space and I knew that having an independent sub will help a great deal with low-end precision. Another big deal is GLM, Genelec's own speaker calibration and management system that costs pretty much the same as SoundID BUT is natively integrated in the speakers, gets free updates, allows for MIDI yard stream deck control, and pretty much means that you'll NEVER need a monitor controller again - unless you're planning to get another pair of speakers that aren't part of Genelec's SAM series. This added value and piece of mind, Genelec's sustainability approach, the 8330s having lower overall distortion than the Footprints, and my low-end now extending all the way to 21 Hz at -1 dB (almost an extra octave compared to the Footprints) all mean that this is pretty much as good as it gets for a sub $4k set of speakers. the 7350 does an awesome job at extending the 8330A's low-end without making itself known and the automatic phase alignment, variable bass mgmt frequency, GLM, and 7+LFE channel bass management I/O are unmatched at this price. The ultimate cherry on top is that all the integrated technologies mean that the eventual upgrade to a Dolby Atmos system just means getting more speakers... no extra subs, monitor controllers, etc. My wallet sure appreciates the GLM ecosystem 5

[Single Monitor] I have it setup with my 8341a monitors and they work great. Really opens up the sound space and fills in dips on the freq of the 8341a. You can calibrate it with cross over at 100hz and using symmetrical eq. Before using this setting I didn't realize how congested it sounded by comparison. Must have sub if you are using genelecs with glm. Without it, you are missing a ton of sound, and really you will hear it wimpy without it if you try to go back without a sub. 5

Vincent	05/09/2024
[<0.01%] I bought these Genelecs because I wanted to a pair of monitors that wouldn't color the content I listen too. The 8020Ds do that for me. I prefer the raw finish to the normal black finish as it complements my desk setup. At first I was hesitant about the finish, but after I saw them in person and set them up on my desk, I was very happy with the choice. I have them on K&M 26772 small desktop stands which fit them nicely. 5

[Active 3-Way] Yes, it was and additional considerable investment. But this subwoofer with my 8330a work in total harmony. Whether you use the digital or analog inputs they both sound fantastic. Highly recommended. 5

Luis	07/07/2024
[Single Monitor] Yes, Genelec are pricey and yet, it's difficult to compare them to any other studio monitor. The clarity and consistency of their reproduction is overwhelming. I notice now details in songs I heard for many years, that I never noticed before. Highly recommended. 5

[124 dB] I am about 8 months in with a pair of 8020D and I know I can rely on the quality and hopefully durability will be great as well. 5

David	19/04/2024
[Active 3-Way] My studio is small, so this is plenty of low end to complement my 8320A tops. The extension down to 22 Hz helps me clean up LF content I wouldn't have noticed on my old monitors. GLM is fun and easy to use. My latest mixes are holding up really well out in the wild! 5
