with Audio-over-IP Connectivity
Today’s most advanced and exible monitoring
solutions for today’s most professional users
Genelec is the leading manufacturer of active loudspeaker
solutions. Our commitment to oer state-of-the-art
technology for all professional applications continues with
the introduction of products for the modern IP networking
environments. We are proud to release the 8430, an audioover-IP enabled Smart Active Monitoring (SAM™) two-way
system. This product is a high resolution audio monitoring
solution using the power of Smart Active Monitoring
and GLM™ AutoCal™ automated system calibration
technologies for audio-over-IP applications.
Genelec has been active in audio-over-IP for many years.
In 2010, during the ISE show Genelec demonstrated
its rst audio-over-IP showcase system. Since then,
a lot has happened in the audio industry to establish
better communication standards for audio-over-IP. This
work has been actively pursued in several forums. The
AES67 standard (Audio Engineering Society standard
for audio applications of networks) about audio-over-IP
interoperability, published in 2015, is now quickly gaining
acceptance and is rapidly establishing audio-over-IP as the
mainstream approach for implementing connectivity in the
future broadcast environments.
At the same time, the world is experiencing a rapid increase
in creation and distribution of media content over IP
networks, resulting in signicant changes in the way system
solutions are implemented. Broadcast houses are moving
towards audio and video over IP solutions with increasing
speed. IP networking is quickly replacing the traditional
cabling. Modern consumers are increasingly building media
reproduction systems using IP streaming technology.
At Genelec we believe that audio-over-IP networking using
systems that are fully compatible with open standards is the
right, reliable and robust way to address the future needs of
the audio market. We believe that international cooperation
across the industry is the key to create open IP networking
technology solutions for professional users. Widespread use
of IP networking solutions will allow customers to benet
from the latest developments in IP technology and the power
of continually improving services.
