UNIO Audio Monitoring Ecosystem
Bridging in-room and personal headphone monitoring
Genelec's UNIO Ecosystem gives audio engineers the ability to seamlessly navigate different monitoring options, for the flexibility to work anywhere, anytime – from stereo to immersive.
Now, with UNIO Personal Reference Monitoring (PRM), audio professionals benefit from the pinpoint accuracy of our pioneering active monitoring headphone solution.
The freedom to engineer audio anywhere
Bringing the precise resolution and adaptive power of our Smart Active Monitoring (SAM), GLM and Aural ID Technology to the engineer's fingertips, UNIO allows the rapid creation of mixes that translate with maximal consistency.
Imagine leaving the studio, putting on headphones and tapping into a listening experience that’s tightly matched to your trusted in-room SAM Monitors. The 9320A SAM™ Reference Controller – especially within our UNIO PRM solution – is uniquely positioned to offer you this ability, with the precision required to mix with confidence every time.
UNIO Personal Reference Monitoring
UNIO PRM provides powerful reference-quality audio monitoring via our 8550A Professional Reference Headphones, each of which we calibrate individually at our factory in Iisalmi, Finland – carefully matching them to the 9320A SAM™ Reference Controller, for total accuracy.
This uniquely matched system represents a pioneering new active monitoring headphone solution with exceptional sonic reliability, taking the UNIO Ecosystem’s seamless bridging of in-room and personal headphone monitoring to a whole new level.
