Creating a SAM Monitor Layout
To create a layout all monitors, subwoofers and woofer systems must be
powered and GLM network connections be made.
A layout defines your monitors and their locations in the room. An example in
Figure 5 shows a stereo system with a subwoofer.
A new system layout is created when the GLM user interface starts the first time.
You can always create a new layout by selecting the ‘File | New’ menu item.
When the creation of a new layout starts, initially all monitors, subwoofers and
woofer systems are stacked on the left side of the page.
1. The layout style selection –shows example positions for each system
(example positions can be skipped e.g. subwoofer can be placed
between Left and Right monitors).
2. The devices –The unplaced device cell on the right and the Not Used
device cell on the left. Start drag the device icon from the unplaced device
cell and the device will play the ID tone. Place the device icon to the
Layout grid (3) to the position that match its placement in your monitoring
system layout.
3. The Not Used device cell. This will be used e.g. with the SE System
where unused channels need to be told to GLM.
4. The layout grid –The monitoring system layout style with the Stereo with
subwoofer system. The center cell is the listening position (will be placed
with VOC monitor in Auro3D system). The top cells of the grid are the
front monitors and The bottom cells are the rear monitors.
5. The monitor already placed to the layout grid.
6. The layout confirmation button –Click to proceed after the layout matches
the actual monitoring system layout.
7. The setup process indicator –AutoPhase will be skipped if there is no any
subwoofers in use and WooferCal will be skipped if there is no any
Woofer systems in use.
