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.

Name Standard 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 from
https://www.audinate.com/products/software/dante-controller

4430A can receive up to
channels in a stream. Assign a
channel in the Transmitters list for
each 4430A input listed in the
Receiver list.

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.

7 USING SMART IP MANAGER

and ‘+’ buttons.

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.

Unallocated Smart IP
devices are listed under
“Default” zone.

Zone can be muted and
level controlled with ‘–‘

Turn on audio inputs:

mix  stream in 
analogue in  no input 
mix.

8 EDITING ACOUSTIC SETTINGS

Select a Smart IP loudspeaker. Click the ‘Acoustics’ tab on the right pane. To set
several loudspeakers simultaneously, select all speakers (left side) and then
adjust.

Set ‘delay’ and
‘sensitivity’ as
needed.

Click on a filter
button, select ‘filter
type’ and adjust
parameters.

Select ‘preset’ to
assign all parameters
for selected speaker.

APPLICATION PROGRAMMING INTERFACE (API)

4430A Smart IP loudspeaker has a set of API commands that can be used to
enable control of 4430A using a house automation system or similar IP network
connected device. The document describing the API command and how to use
them is available from Genelec. Please visit www.genelec.com.

MOUNTING

The two primary mounting points are on the rear side. They have metric M6 x 10
mm holes (thread type is metric M6, thread depth is 10 mm). Use these for
mounting brackets or the keyhole wall mount adapter.

On the base of the loudspeaker carries a 3/8 in UNC-threaded hole compatible
with a certain standard microphone stands. This can be used for additional
support. The UNC thread is not compatible with metric threads.

Pay attention to mounting screw lengths. Do not use long screws exceeding the
depth of the hole as this can destroy the threads in the mounting points. Do not
over-tighten. Do not use very short screws as the thread length is not enough to
hold the weight of the speaker.

See Genelec Accessories Catalogue on www.genelec.com for a complete list of
mounting hardware options.

SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS

The 4430A has been designed in accordance with international safety standards.
The following warnings and cautions must be observed to ensure safe operating
conditions:

• Servicing and adjustment may only be performed by qualified service
personnel.

• The loudspeaker must not be opened.

• Do not expose the loudspeaker to water or moisture.

• Do not place objects filled with liquid, such as vases, on the loudspeaker or
near it.

• This loudspeaker can produce sound pressure levels in excess of 85 dB,
which may cause permanent hearing damage.

• Free flow of air behind the loudspeaker is necessary to maintain sufficient
cooling. Do not obstruct airflow around the loudspeaker.

• The loudspeaker is not disconnected from the power supply unless the CAT
cable carrying the PoE power is removed from the loudspeaker. Powering
down the speaker using the power switch does not disconnect power.

• Ensure that mountings for example to walls or ceilings are able to carry the full
weight of the loudspeaker in all circumstances, the installations have been
designed and are implemented according to the local safety regulations and
follow principles of good workmanship.

• The Genelec products and accessories can come with instructions on the
proper methods of installation and use. Follow these instructions.
