Product overview
The GENELEC 1032C Rack Amplifier Version is a factory pre-installed 1032C bundle: the amplifier is installed in a rack mount chassis and the loudspeaker receives a separate blank back plate with the connectors for the amplifier.
It brings the 1032C SAM studio monitor, the high-SPL nearfield model with the soffit-mountable styling of the 1000 series, to installations where the electronics live in an equipment rack. Interconnecting cables are not included. The monitor performance and GLM calibration are those of the 1032C.
| Maximum short‑term SPL | 114 dB |
| Frequency response (-6 dB) | 33 Hz - 23 kHz |
| Class D amplifiers | 250 W + 150 W |
| Amplifier in a rack mount chassis | Rack |
Key features
- Factory pre-installed: amplifier in a rack mount chassis, loudspeaker with a blank back plate and amplifier connectors
- Two-way active design: 250 mm bass driver and 25 mm metal dome tweeter, both magnetically shielded
- Directivity Control Waveguide (DCW) for flat on and off-axis response
- 250 W + 150 W Class D amplifiers, active crossover at 1.8 kHz
- Analogue XLR input plus AES/EBU digital input and thru, 32-192 kHz
- GLM network with AutoCal room calibration and stored settings
The 1032C with its electronics in the rack
With the amplifier in a rack mount chassis, the loudspeaker carries only a blank back plate with the amplifier connectors. This suits soffit and in-wall installations where the electronics are kept with the rest of the equipment.
Calibrated for your room
GLM software and AutoCal measure the listening position, compensate room influences and align level and delay. Settings can be stored, so a computer is not needed day to day.
In the box
- 1 x GENELEC 1032C loudspeaker with a separate blank back plate and the connectors for the amplifier
- 1 x GENELEC 1032C amplifier installed in a rack mount chassis (factory pre-installed)
Interconnecting cables between the amplifier and the loudspeaker are not included. Calibration requires GLM software and a 9320A SAM Reference Controller or GLM Calibration Kit (sold separately).
GENELEC 1032C Rack Amplifier Version: frequently asked questions
How is it different from the standard 1032C?
It is factory pre-installed with the amplifier in a rack mount chassis; the loudspeaker has a separate blank back plate with the connectors for the amplifier.
Are the interconnecting cables included?
No. Interconnecting cables between the amplifier and the loudspeaker are not included.
Does it still work with GLM?
Yes. It is a 1032C SAM monitor with the GLM network, AutoCal calibration and AES/EBU input.
Where can I buy the GENELEC 1032C Rack Amplifier Version in India?
The GENELEC 1032C Rack Amplifier Version is available from Shivansh Electronics, Kolkata, West Bengal, India, with delivery across India.
Workflow 1: Nearfield mixing on stands
Set up a pair as a neutral, high-SPL reference behind the console.
Connections
| Connect | To |
|---|---|
| Monitor controller or interface outputs | ANALOG IN (XLR) |
| Mains | MAINS INPUT, earthed outlet |
Setup
- Place the monitors symmetrically, acoustic axes aimed at the listening position.
- Set STORED to OFF and choose tone controls for the position (e.g. bass tilt -2 dB in a damped room).
- Set the sensitivity control to match the source level.
- Switch on and check the green front light.
Tip: Stands behind and above the console usually sound better than a meter bridge.
Workflow 2: Calibrating a stereo pair with GLM
Let GLM measure the room and tune each 1032C for the listening position.
Connections
| Connect | To |
|---|---|
| Each monitor | GLM NETWORK (RJ45), daisy‑chained |
| GLM adapter | Last monitor's GLM NETWORK port and computer USB |
| Measurement microphone | GLM adapter microphone input |
Setup
- Daisy-chain the monitors with CAT5 (RJ45) cables and connect the last one to the GLM adapter.
- Connect the adapter to the computer by USB and place the microphone at ear height at the listening position, pointing up.
- Install GLM from genelec.com and run the AutoCal measurement.
- Store the settings in the monitors so they work without a computer.
Tip: With STORED set to ON, the monitor recalls the GLM settings without a computer.
Workflow 3: AES/EBU digital monitoring
Feed the monitors directly from a digital console or converter.
Connections
| Connect | To |
|---|---|
| AES/EBU source | DIGITAL IN AES/EBU (XLR, 110 Ω) |
| Next monitor | DIGITAL THRU AES/EBU |
Setup
- Connect the AES/EBU output to the first monitor's DIGITAL IN.
- Daisy-chain to up to four monitors through DIGITAL THRU.
- Set the DIGITAL A/B switches so each monitor plays its channel.
- The digital input is selected automatically when a valid signal is present.
Tip: -30 dBFS produces 100 dB SPL at 1 m; lower the monitor level to use more digital resolution.
Workflow 4: Flush mounting with the amplifier in the rack
Build the loudspeaker into the wall and keep the electronics in the equipment rack.
Connections
| Connect | To |
|---|---|
| Loudspeaker | Wall opening; blank back plate with amplifier connectors |
| Rack amplifier | Equipment rack |
| Interconnecting cables (not included) | Amplifier to loudspeaker connectors |
Setup
- Mount the amplifier chassis in the rack.
- Install the loudspeaker with its acoustic axis aimed at the listening position.
- Connect amplifier and loudspeaker with suitable interconnecting cables.
- Connect signal, GLM network and mains to the amplifier, then calibrate with GLM.
Tip: Plan the cable route and length before the wall is closed: interconnecting cables are not included.
Workflow 5: Post production and broadcast room
Keep monitoring consistent from room to room.
Connections
| Connect | To |
|---|---|
| Console or monitor controller | ANALOG IN or DIGITAL IN |
| GLM network | GLM NETWORK ports |
Setup
- Install the monitors and connect the GLM network.
- Run GLM AutoCal in each room.
- Store each room's settings in the monitors.
- Use ISS so the system sleeps when idle and wakes with signal.
Tip: The same GLM-calibrated reference in every room helps mixes translate.
Workflow 6: Adding a subwoofer
Extend a 1032C system with a GENELEC 7300 series SAM subwoofer.
Connections
| Connect | To |
|---|---|
| Source | Subwoofer inputs |
| Subwoofer outputs | 1032C ANALOG IN |
| All devices | GLM network |
Setup
- Route the signal through the subwoofer to the monitors.
- Connect all devices on the GLM network.
- Let GLM align levels, delays and subwoofer phase (AutoPhase).
- Store the settings.
Tip: GENELEC recommends its 7300 series subwoofers for the 1032C.
