Genelec continues to bet on Smart IP speakers at ISE

At your booth, Genelec shows as a star its complete range of Smart IP solutions that incorporates two new models: 4435A Ceiling Mounting System and 4436A Hanging Kit.

Genelec continues to expand its family of network speakers Smart IP and has led them to WHEREAS. Its latest developments are represented by the models 4435A for ceiling mounting and 4436A to hang. Some equipment that joins the wall systems 4410, 4420 y 4430.

Originally released in 2019, Smart IP speaker range offers flexible power functions, Audio and management via standard CAT cable. All models, that produce studio-quality audio and clarity, as well as high intelligibility and coverage, They can be freely combined in a network and support Dante and AES67. They obtain power through PoE or PoE+.

In addition to receiving power and audio over IP, The 4435A and 4436A models incorporate an RJ45 connector on the rear panel that allows access to the Smart IP Manager de Genelec, a downloadable software tool that allows installers to configure a nearly unlimited number of rooms, zones, speakers and audio channels.

Also includes device detection, a versatile set of tools for room equalization, system management and status monitoring.

A set of public API commands allows for easy integration with third-party automation systems or, for less complex Smart IP systems, you can use the mobile app Smart IP Controller from Genelec to provide basic control of key speaker functions.

Both models share the same acoustic and electronic specifications, and they have their own internal power technology that stores energy to produce some 104 dB of short-term SPL whenever necessary.

They offer a frequency response of 55 Hz – 39 kHz through two independent internal amplification stages of 50 W de clase D, that drive a woofer 130 mm and a metal dome tweeter of 19 mm.

This active design provides optimal audio performance and eliminates the need for large external amplifier racks and associated wiring.. Plus support for IP audio streams, Analog connectivity is supported via a Euroblock connector, which can be used as a fail-safe backup or to enable IP control of an analog source.

Created in collaboration with industrial designer Harri Koskinen, The 4436A is Genelec's first pendant model, while the discreet 4435A replaces the analog AIC25 for recessed ceiling.

Made of high quality durable steel, Both models are available in white or black for the 4436A, while the 4435A is available with circular or square magnetic grilles, in black or white.

Made in Iisalmi (Finland), Models 4435A and 4436A are designed to integrate with any combination of Smart IP models, providing reliable performance even in the most demanding environments.

“With the new models, ceiling and pendant, the Smart IP line becomes a flexible solution, that adapts to an even wider and more diverse range of installations”, comment Kati Pajukallio, Business Manager AV de Genelec. “The growing number of Smart IP speaker solutions being deployed in projects around the world has clearly demonstrated that networked speakers are the future of installed audio.”
