Thank you for all the years of Community discussions and activity!

The time has come for us to retire the community forums, but we will keep everything available for reading. There is a lot of valuable content written over the years, and you'll be able to access all of that. However, no new posts can be written, or old posts modified.

If you have questions, we recommend you use the Support function on the bottom right corner to contact our Customer Support directly.

Alternatively, if you wish to engage in a community discussion with other people, there are many active forums available. There is also an active, fan managed GENELEC COMMUNITY in Facebook, and many Genelec employees are active in the discussions there.

We are sorry for any possible inconvenience this may cause you, but we hope to hear from you through the other channels mentioned above.

8330s - use without a computer?

My laptop with GLM is currently out of action.  Is there a way of using the analog ins from another source without using GLM?  Thanks

Sure. If you haven't stored the settings (why?), they'll just run without corrections. You can run them just as any other active speakers, or with level control via the GLM brain powered via any 5V USB source.

If you've stored the digital input as the only one (bad idea, mostly), you'll need to reset them to factory settings first (10s on the power button I think, but Read The Fine Manual).

Ok thanks, I’ll give that a go, wasn’t thinking I could’ve just used another power supply for the volume controller

Indeed, seems like Genelec cared more about usability than Apple.
Or maybe nobody ever cared to translate "planned obsolecence" to the finnish language.
