Performance Overview

The GLM Calibration Kit is engineered to deliver reference‑grade monitoring accuracy within any control environment. Upon launch, GLM collects acoustic measurements from multiple optimal listening positions. Then, with the analytical precision, it applies time‑aligned delays, level trims, and parametric EQ filters to each speaker. The result is a flat target frequency response within ±1 dB, with time coherence maintained across all channels.

For multichannel and immersive setups, GLM seamlessly manages speaker grouping and crossovers, offering integrity across the sound field. Whether you’re mixing an album, editing video, or designing immersive sound beds, GLM ensures that what you hear is true and uncolored by room anomalies.
