2 PACKAGE CONTENT
Genelec two-way active loudspeaker 4430A. 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

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.

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 from
https://www.audinate.com/products/software/dante-controller
6 INSTALLING GENELEC SMART IP MANAGER
Acoustic calibration, zone setup and loudspeaker management is done using
Genelec Smart IP Manager 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.
