NATICK, MA, November 14, 2007 — At the 41st Annual CMA Awards Show, broadcast in 5.1 surround sound on ABC Television from the Sommet Center in Nashville, TN, on the evening of Wednesday, November 7th, XM Productions/Effanel Music implemented Genelec 8200 Series DSP Monitoring Systems. Genelec DSP systems comprised of 8250 and 8240 monitors along with the 7260 subwoofer were used in XM Productions/Effanel Music's L7 and OBU mobile recording trucks for the music mix.

The HDTV/5.1 broadcast was mixed and monitored by a team of top-tier professionals, all relying on Genelec to provide them an accurate monitoring environment. The audio portion of the broadcast was supervised by award-winning Audio Producer Tom Davis; the Audio Coordinator was Michael Abbott; the Music Mixers included John Harris and Jay Vicari.

The Genelec 8200 Series Bi-Amplified Monitors employ the company’s proprietary DSP (Digital Signal Processing), GLM™ (Genelec Loudspeaker Manager software) and AutoCal™ (Automated Calibration software) technologies, which together create a self-calibrating monitoring solution that both guarantees accurate audio and ensures a steady-paced workflow. This combined with XM Productions/Effanel Music’s long-time use of Genelec active monitors made the Genelec DSP monitors an easy decision.

John Harris, XM Productions/Effanel Music’s Lead Music Mixer, stated, “We had such success the first time we used the Genelec DSP system at the 49th Annual GRAMMY® Awards, that the decision to employ them again was an easy one. They are extremely accurate and musical, and they continue to provide pristine audio show after show. Utilizing the DSP in the Genelec’s, we were able to have mirror systems in L7 and OBU, with a consistent and standardized sound field from one truck to the other.”
