4030C
Operating Manual
General
The bi-amplied Genelec 4030C is an extremely
compact two way active loudspeaker designed
for xed installations. As an active loudspeaker, it
contains drivers, power ampliers, active crossover
filters and protection circuitry. The 4030C is
designed for indoor use only, in temperatures
between 15 to 35 degrees Celsius and relative
humidity between 20 % and 90 %.
The MDE™ (Minimum Diraction Enclosure™)
loudspeaker enclosure is made of die-cast
aluminium and shaped to reduce edge diraction.
Combined with the advanced Directivity Control
WaveguideTM (DCWTM), this design provides
excellent frequency balance in difficult acoustic
environments.
Positioning the loudspeaker
Each 4030C is supplied with an integrated amplier
unit, mains cable, a 3-pin balanced Euroblock
connector for audio signal, a keyhole type wallmount
and an operating manual. After unpacking, place the
loudspeaker in its required listening position, taking
note of the line of the acoustic axis. The axis should
be pointed towards the center of the listening area.
Connections
Before connecting up, ensure that the loudspeakers
and the signal source have been switched o. The
power switch of the 4030C is located on the back
panel (see Figure 3). Connect the loudspeaker to
an earthed mains connection with the supplied
mains cable. Never connect the loudspeaker to
an unearthed mains supply or using an unearthed
mains cable. Audio input is via a 10 kOhm
balanced connector. The pin sequence of the
4030C
Active Loudspeaker
connector is shown in Figure 2.
Connect the signal cable to the 3-pole plug
provided with the loudspeaker and secure the
connections by tightening the screws on each
pole. Push the plug into the connector on the
loudspeaker.
If you want to daisy-chain multiple
loudspeakers, simply connect a second signal
cable to the plug and use it to route the signal to
the next loudspeaker (see Figure 4).
Never connect the 4030C to the loudspeaker
outputs of a power amplifier or an integrated
amplier or receiver.
Once the connections have been made, the
loudspeakers are ready to be switched on.
ISSTM Autostart
The automatic power saving function ISS (Intelligent
Signal Sensing) can be activated by setting the
“ISS” switch on the back panel to “ON.” Automatic
powering down to standby mode happens after a
certain time when playback has ended. The power
consumption in standby mode is typically less than
0.5 watts. Playback will automatically resume once
an input signal is detected from the source.
There is a slight delay in the automatic powering
up. If this is undesirable, the ISSTM function can be
disabled by setting the “ISS” switch on the back
panel to “OFF.” In this mode, the loudspeaker is
powered on and o using the power switch on the
back panel.

Level control
The input sensitivity of the loudspeaker can be
matched to the output of the signal source by
adjusting the level control on the rear panel.
Setting the tone controls
The frequency response of the Genelec
4030C can be adjusted to match the acoustic
environment by setting the tone control
switches on the rear panel. The controls are
“Treble Tilt”, “Bass Tilt” and “Bass Roll-O”. An
acoustic measuring system such as WinMLS
or comparable is recommended for analyzing
the eects of the adjustments, however, careful
listening with suitable test recordings can also
lead to good results if a test system is not

available. Table 1 shows some examples of
typical settings in various situations. Figure 4
shows the eect of the controls on the anechoic
response.
Treble Tilt
The Treble Tilt control (switch 1) boosts the treble
response of the loudspeaker at frequencies above 5
kHz by +2 dB, which can be used for compensating
for the high frequency loss at long distance.
Bass Tilt
The Bass Tilt control oers three attenuation levels
for the bass response of the loudspeaker below
2 kHz, usually necessary when the loudspeakers
are placed near a wall or other room boundaries.
