Genelec has announced that it will be introducing its new UNIO audio monitoring platform and 8381A point source main monitor to the U.S. market at the upcoming AES New York 2023 Convention, taking place October 25-27 at the Jacob Javits Center in Manhattan.
UNIO brings together Genelec Smart Active Monitors, GLM 5.0 calibration software and Aural ID 2.0 technology to create integration between professional in-room loudspeaker and headphone monitoring services. At the heart of the platform is the new 9320A Reference Controller that’s designed to offer flexible connectivity, a reference-grade headphone output and tactile hardware control of Smart Active Monitors, GLM and Aural ID.
Visitors to AES New York can experience these new additions to the Genelec family by visiting room 3D01, where a large-scale immersive Smart Active Monitoring system will feature two 8381As as main L-R, an 8361A with W371A woofer system in the center position, four 8351Bs for surrounds and four 8341As for overheads — all complemented by two 7380A subwoofers and calibrated specifically for the room using GLM software.
Also on demo will be a nearfield system featuring a stereo pair of 8331As with the 9320A controller, demonstrating how the UNIO platform allows integration of professional in-room loudspeaker and headphone monitoring services.
Additionally, Genelec will feature a number of guest speakers and lecturers throughout the convention. Thomas Lund, senior technologist at Genelec, has curated a program that includes “Integrating Dynamics Processing into a Parametric EQ Filter” with Duane Wise and George Massenburg, “Enveloping Masterclass” sessions with Ulrike Schwarz, Morten Lindberg and Li Dakang, “Safe Listening in Pro Audio” with Deanna Meinke and Petteri Hyvärinen, “Enveloping Masterclass” sessions with Florian Camerer, George Massenburg and Ronald Prent, and “Immersive Listening Standards” with Jim Austin and Ronald Prent; and “Enveloping Masterclass” sessions with Richard King and Hyunkook Lee.
