Genelec S360 SAM DSP Active Monitor – exceptional sound quality

Genelec S360 SAM DSP Active Monitor

The Genelec S360 SAM DSP Active Monitor is a high-output professional studio monitor engineered to deliver exceptional sound quality, outstanding speech intelligibility, and uncompromising monitoring accuracy in demanding production environments.

Designed for music producers, mix engineers, post-production facilities, broadcast studios, immersive audio rooms, and film mixing stages, the Genelec S360 SAM DSP Active Monitor combines the acoustic performance of a main monitor with the compact footprint and installation flexibility of a midfield loudspeaker.

Built around Genelec’s renowned Smart Active Monitoring (SAM™) platform, the Genelec S360 SAM DSP Active Monitor integrates advanced DSP processing, automatic room calibration, and networked system management to ensure reliable and consistent monitoring in virtually any acoustic environment. Through seamless integration with Genelec Loudspeaker Manager (GLM™) software, the monitor automatically compensates for room-related anomalies, optimizes frequency response, aligns phase, and adjusts delay settings for maximum accuracy.

At the heart of the Genelec S360 SAM DSP Active Monitor is a powerful 10-inch high-efficiency woofer paired with a precision 1-inch titanium diaphragm compression tweeter mounted within Genelec’s advanced Directivity Control Waveguide (DCW™).

This innovative driver configuration enables the monitor to deliver exceptional clarity, controlled directivity, and consistent frequency response across a wide listening area.

The Genelec S360 SAM DSP Active Monitor achieves an impressive short-term SPL capability of 118 dB, with peak output levels reaching 128 dB, making it ideal for high-energy music production, EDM mixing, film dubbing stages, and large-format immersive audio systems. Even at elevated listening levels, the monitor maintains remarkable transparency and low distortion.

With a frequency response extending down to 36 Hz, the Genelec S360 SAM DSP Active Monitor reproduces low frequencies with impressive authority and precision. When combined with compatible Genelec SAM subwoofers, the monitor becomes a powerful full-range solution capable of meeting the demands of Dolby Atmos®, immersive audio production, and cinematic playback environments.

Genelec engineered the Genelec S360 SAM DSP Active Monitor specifically for applications where longer listening distances and higher output requirements exceed the capabilities of conventional nearfield monitors.

The monitor performs exceptionally well in medium to large control rooms, offering reliable performance at listening distances exceeding 10 meters while maintaining consistent imaging and tonal balance.

The integrated DSP platform provides comprehensive room optimization and system management capabilities through the GLM ecosystem. Using the included calibration microphone and software, engineers can configure stereo, surround, and immersive monitoring systems with precise control over level matching, crossover management, delay alignment, and room compensation.

This intelligent calibration workflow helps eliminate acoustic challenges commonly encountered in professional studios, enabling engineers to make confident mixing decisions that translate accurately across multiple playback systems.

Connectivity options include balanced analog XLR input, AES/EBU digital input, AES/EBU digital output, and dual RJ45 control ports for GLM networking.

These flexible connection options simplify integration into modern digital production workflows while supporting scalable monitoring systems ranging from stereo configurations to large immersive installations.

The Genelec S360 SAM DSP Active Monitor features separate 250W Class D amplification for the low-frequency driver and 100W Class D amplification for the high-frequency driver, delivering efficient performance and substantial headroom. Genelec’s Intelligent Signal Sensing (ISS™) technology further improves energy efficiency by automatically switching the monitor into low-power standby mode when no signal is detected.

Constructed using premium Finnish woodwork and a low-diffraction enclosure design, the Genelec S360 SAM DSP Active Monitor minimizes unwanted resonance while ensuring consistent acoustic performance. Flexible mounting options support freestanding, wall-mounted, ceiling-mounted, and in-wall installations, making the monitor suitable for a wide range of professional applications.

Whether you are mixing immersive audio, producing electronic music, editing broadcast content, or mastering feature films, the Genelec S360 SAM DSP Active Monitor delivers the power, precision, and adaptability required for today’s most demanding workflows.

Experience exceptional output capability, intelligent room calibration, and world-class monitoring accuracy with the Genelec S360 SAM DSP Active Monitor.
