Tactile GLM control, high-end headphone output, USB/AES/analog I/O, speaker calibration with mic, and SPL dose monitoring in one compact unit
Features:
Professional-Grade Monitor Controller for Loudspeaker and Headphone Workflows
The Genelec 9320A SAM Reference Controller is a compact yet powerful hub designed to manage your entire monitoring environment with pinpoint accuracy—whether you're working on loudspeakers, headphones, or both. It integrates seamlessly into Genelec’s Smart Active Monitoring (SAM) systems and serves as a tactile monitor controller, system interface, and high-fidelity DAC. Ideal for music production, game audio, streaming, post-production, and broadcast applications, the 9320A supports both stereo and immersive setups while giving you physical access to monitor switching, level control, and speaker calibration.
Tactile Control of Genelec SAM Systems Without Distractions
With its intuitive rotary controller and clear haptic feedback, the 9320A gives engineers hands-on control of key functions in the Genelec Loudspeaker Manager (GLM) software. This allows you to work faster and stay focused on your DAW instead of toggling between interfaces. One-click switching between monitors and headphones, plus level-aligned outputs, makes it easy to compare reference perspectives during critical decision-making without disrupting your workflow.
Monitor Switching Between Stereo and Immersive Layouts
The 9320A enables effortless switching between complex SAM monitoring systems and standard stereo setups. Whether you're working with multi-channel surround formats or a simple stereo pair, this unit supports accurate level alignment, saving you from constant gain adjustments when changing between listening modes. For projects that involve headphone monitoring, stereo loudspeakers, and immersive room playback, the 9320A keeps transitions smooth and level-matched.
Exceptional DAC Performance and Versatile Connectivity
Engineered for professional-grade signal fidelity, the 9320A supports high-resolution audio over USB, analog, and AES/EBU formats. You can use it as a USB audio interface, a signal converter (AES to analog or vice versa), or simply as a monitor switcher with minimal signal path coloration. Fixed or adjusted output levels are available over its analog and digital outputs, ensuring compatibility with any high-quality loudspeakers or headphones. It's also an excellent standalone DAC for transparent signal monitoring in any studio.
Reference-Quality Headphone Output with Aural ID Integration
The 9320A's headphone output is built for critical listening. It supports headphone impedances from 16 to 600 ohms, with ultra-low distortion (THD+N below -110 dB), a dynamic range of 126 dB, and up to 6V RMS output. When paired with Genelec's Aural ID software, users can apply personalized HRTF profiles to simulate accurate loudspeaker positioning in headphones—ideal for immersive mixes and externalized stereo imaging. This makes it possible to maintain a consistent sound perspective whether you're monitoring on speakers or headphones.
Automatic Calibration for Loudspeakers and Room Acoustics
GLM software, included with the 9320A, enables AutoCal calibration of all connected Genelec SAM loudspeakers and subwoofers. Using the factory-calibrated reference microphone (also included), the system automatically aligns EQ, delay, and level to deliver flat and phase-accurate monitoring in any room. This process also allows users to generate a detailed GRADE Room Acoustic Report, helping you understand and optimize your acoustic environment.
Noise Dose Monitoring for Safe Long-Term Listening
The 9320A isn't just about audio quality—it also helps protect your hearing. It continuously monitors your SPL exposure using A, C, and Z weightings, with real-time feedback displayed on the controller. For headphone use, SPL is calculated based on headphone sensitivity data. Exposure doses are logged, and customizable alarms can notify you of overexposure risks. For professionals working long hours, this is an essential tool for safe monitoring and fatigue reduction.
