This is PoE+ powered bi- amplified audio-over-IP capable loudspeaker for installed audio applications.  Keyhole-type wall mount with screws.  Three-pin Euroblock connector for balanced analogue line input (inserted in the loudspeaker). 3 CONNECTORS 4 CONNECTING LOUDSPEAKERS To get started, connect an Ethernet cable from the PoE+ output in an IP switch to the 4430A Ethernet port. Press the power switch to power up the loudspeaker. To create a working system, you will need  IP switch with a PoE+ (802.3at) output for the 4430A loudspeaker or an IP switch with no PoE support and a PoE+ power injector  CAT 5 or higher category Ethernet cable with RJ45 connectors  AES67, ST2110 or Dante audio-over-IP stream source  For 4430A setup and configuration, a computer running Macintosh OS X or Windows 10 operating system  Genelec Smart IP Manager software  Dante Controller software Ethernet port  PoE+ power input (IEEE 802.3at)  Management over Ethernet  Audio-over-IP stream input Balanced analogue line input Power on/off Reset to factory settings push and hold for 10 seconds

Example of powering the 4430A with a PoE+ enabled IP switch. With this

method, the power budget available for all outputs connected to the IP switch must enable each 4430A to run at full PoE+ power. For 4 loudspeakers, the power supply must support 4 x PoE+ power level. Example of powering the 4430A with a PoE+ power injector. This method enables the use of standard non-PoE IP switches. Each power injector must support full PoE+ power level into the device. The 4430A supports automatic negotiation with the IP switch or IP power injector to set the PoE power level. However, in some cases it may be necessary to set the PoE power level in the switch manually.

Power to 4430A

PoE IEEE 802.3af-2003 13 W PoE+ IEEE 802.3at-2009 25.5 W There are several Power-over-Ethernet standards. The 4430A loudspeaker supports the PoE+ standard but also works with the lower power PoE standard. When the 4430A also works with lower PoE power, the duration of high SPL output is shortened, and long continuous output signals play at smaller sound level than when the PoE+ power level is used. Genelec recommends using PoE+ power level with 4430A. 5 SETTING UP AUDIO STREAMS Audio stream setup is done by using Dante Controller software.

Download Smart IP Manager at https://www.genelec.com/smart-ip-manager and follow screen instructions to install. 4430A can receive up to two audio channels in a stream. Assign a channel in the Transmitters list for each 4430A input listed in the Receiver list.

7 USING SMART IP MANAGER

Launch Smart IP Manager. Click Settings | Audio Network menu. Select a Network interface connected to the same network with 4430A loudspeakers. Click Continue button. Smart IP Manager software scans the network every 5 seconds to find and show unallocated Genelec Smart IP products in the Default zone. Turn on audio inputs: mix  stream in  analogue in  no input  mix. Unallocated Smart IP devices are listed under “Default” zone. Zone can be muted and level controlled with ‘–‘ and ‘+’ buttons.
