Genelec enthusiast chooses custom solution for his home TV setup

A residential installation in Norway brought together the high-SPL S360 loudspeakers and a custom white 7382 subwoofer, both from Genelec, to create a stereo system. It was Genelec’s Norwegian distribution partner Benum that helped this audiophile realise his dream of integrating a system from his favourite loudspeaker brand into his living room.

The audio fanatic already owned a pair of Genelec 8351 studio loudspeakers, but this time he was looking for a system that would predominantly be used for film and music. Comprising two S360 two-way studio loudspeakers alongside the 7382 subwoofer - all in a white finish - the system is run using Genelec’s GLM (Genelec Loudspeaker Manager) software. The owner had spent time listening to the S360s both at home and at several exhibitions across the region before choosing them for his personal space.

The room is around 15.4 sq metres in size and benefits from good acoustics and little reverberation. The owner opted for an entirely digital signal chain for the new system - the speakers get AES-EBU audio from a Mutec MC-3+USB digital converter and switch, and the TV receives signals via 4K Apple TV, as well as a Sony X800M2 Blu-ray player and a Mac Mini. From the TV - which is a Sony AG9 77’’ model - an optical Toslink cable is connected to the Mutec device, to provide audio.

From the Blu-ray player, a coaxial RCA-BNC cable is also connected directly to the Mutec for audio, and a USB cable integrates the Mac Mini here too, which is controlled by Roon for music. The Mac Mini also runs the GLM software for complete system calibration.
