Located in the city's Jongro area, the Seoul Experience Centre is a collaboration between Genelec and its local distribution partner SAMA Sound. Offering a wide selection of solutions from Genelec's Professional Audio, Installed Sound and Home Audio ranges, the Centre is hosted by SAMA Sound's Genelec Product Manager Wonjoo Lee and tech specialist Jaehyuk Han, who are on hand to offer personal demonstrations and advice to customers who pre-book appointments.

The Seoul location is divided into 3 distinct zones. The Immersive Room is designed to allow visitors to experience Genelec's UNIO monitoring ecosystem, with a 9320A Reference Controller acting as a hub for both 7.1.4 in-room loudspeaker and personal headphone monitoring. The in-room Smart Active Monitoring system comprises a combination of 8351B three-way coaxial monitors and W371A woofer systems in the LCR positions, 8351Bs in the surround and height positions, and a pair of 7370A subwoofers - all configured and calibrated via GLM loudspeaker manager software. With the ability to instantly switch between in-room and personal headphone monitoring, this room showcases how UNIO acts as a seamless bridge between the two, with excellent translation in both directions.

By contrast, the Demonstration Room offers a range of stereo systems for both professionals and audiophiles. A selection of Genelec professional studio monitors can be auditioned, with and without subwoofers, while Home Audio enthusiasts can experience the 6040R floor-standers and the entire range of G series loudspeakers and F series subwoofers.
