GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The bi-amplified Smart IP Genelec 4410A install loudspeaker is a compact two-
way active loudspeaker for fixed installations. It requires only one CAT cable to
connect, making installation easy. The 4410A loudspeaker is powered using the
standard Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) technology, using PoE+ or PoE standards.
The proprietary internal power supply in 4410A delivers an impressive short-term
SPL.
The 4410A is a high-resolution loudspeaker delivering a signal path and acoustic
output that extends to ultrasonic frequencies. It uses Genelec’s Minimum
Diffraction Enclosure (MDE) enclosure technology to reduce acoustic diffractions.
Combined with the advanced Directivity Control Waveguide (DCW) surrounding
the tweeter, this provides excellent frequency balance in difficult acoustic
environments.
The 4410A loudspeaker supports Genelec Smart IP technology. The Smart IP
technology provides scalable power, audio and loudspeaker configuration,
supervision and calibration features via a standard CAT cable, offering
integrators unrivalled power, flexibility, cost-effectiveness and simplicity of
installation.
The 4410A has been designed for excellent sound quality and very long lifetime.
The enclosure is made of environmentally friendly recycled die-cast aluminium.
The 4410A is manufactured using certified sustainable methods. All essential
parts of the loudspeaker can be recycled.
The 4410A is available in black or white colours. It is compatible with Genelec’s
extensive range of mounting accessories for floor, ceiling, wall, or truss
mounting.
The 4410A loudspeaker contains
• highly efficient dedicated Class D power amplifiers, one for each driver
• switched-mode power supply technology offering high SPL output using
standard PoE+ and PoE power supply with an IP switch or power injector
• active crossover filter
• electronic system protection
• audio-over-IP streaming input
• flexible room acoustic compensation tool set built in

Audio-over-IP streaming supports an unlimited number of channels in the
playback system. These audio channels are automatically synchronized perfectly
in time by the audio-over-IP streaming technology, forming a single playback
system. The 4410A accepts AES67/ST2110 and Dante audio-over-IP streams.
The streams are set up with Dante Controller or Dante Domain Manager
software. Each 4410A supports reproduction of one or the sum of two audio input
channels. The stream audio sample rate can range from 32-96 kHz, with 16-24
bit resolution.
The 4410A contains one rear panel CAT connector for standard Ethernet IP
network connectivity. The network interface speed is 100 Mbps. The rear panel
CAT connector also allows Genelec’s Smart IP Manager software to work on the
4410A. This software is available for AV installers on Genelec web site and runs
on Windows 10 computers. The software allows AV installers to configure an
almost unlimited number of rooms, zones, loudspeakers and audio channels, and
includes device discovery, a versatile room acoustic equalisation tool set, system
organisation and status monitoring.
The 4410A contains an application programming interface (API) supporting
control via third-party hardware, software or house automation. The API enables
integration to all house and home automation systems. Detailed information
about the API are provided in a separate document from Genelec.
The 4410A is designed for indoor use, in temperatures 15-35 Celsius and relative
humidity 20-90 %.
PACKING CONTENT
• Genelec two-way active loudspeaker 4410A.
• Keyhole-type wall mount with screws.
POSITIONING AND MOUNTING THE LOUDSPEAKER
Place the loudspeaker so that the line of the acoustic axis points towards the
main listening area. The AV install designers may indicate different aiming.
The minimum clearance for amplifier cooling and reflex port function around the
loudspeaker is 3 cm (1 3/16 in) behind, above and on both sides of the
loudspeaker. If the back side of the loudspeaker is blocked, it must be ventilated
so that the ambient temperature remains below 35° C (95° F) at any moment of
operation.

Figure 1. Location of the acoustic axis.
The two primary mounting points are on the rear side. Use these for mounting
brackets or the keyhole wall mount adapter. They have metric M6 x 8.5 mm
holes (thread type is metric M6, thread depth is 8.5 mm). Do not exceed the
thread depth as this can result in failure of the thread. The base of the
loudspeaker carries a 3/8 in UNC-threaded hole compatible with certain standard
microphone stands. This can be used for additional support. The UNC thread is
not compatible with metric threads. Do not use this point as the primary mounting
point. Pay attention to mounting screw lengths. Do not use 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 covered by such
a screw is not enough to hold the weight of the speaker.
See the Genelec Accessories Catalogue on www.genelec.com for a complete
list of mounting hardware options. The accessories can come with instructions on
the proper methods of installation.

CONNECTING LOUDSPEAKERS
To get started, connect an Ethernet cable from the PoE+ output of an IP switch
to the 4410A Ethernet port. Use at least CAT5 cable or better. 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 4410A 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 4410A setup and configuration, a computer running Windows 10
operating system
• Genelec Smart IP Manager software
• Dante Controller software or Dante Domain Manager software
Figure 3. 4410A powered with PoE+ IP switch.
An example of powering the 4410A with a PoE+ enabled IP switch. With this
method, the power budget available for all outputs connected to the IP switch
must enable each 4410A to run at full PoE+ power. For 4 loudspeakers, the
power supply must support 4 x PoE+ power level.

5
Figure 4. 4410A powered by an IP PoE+ power injector.
An example of powering the 4410A 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.
PoE budget calculation
The 4410A 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 4410A loudspeaker
supports the PoE+ standard but also works with the lower power PoE standard.
While the 4410A also works with the lower PoE power, the maximum SPL is
affected by the PoE power available. Please consult the specification table in this
manual for details. Genelec recommends using the PoE+ power level with
4410A.

6
Each PoE supply device (IP switch or power injector) has a certain maximum
output power capacity. This can limit the number of PoE outputs that can be set
on. For a 4410A loudspeaker, calculate the output power for each output as 15.4
W for PoE and 30 W for PoE+. Ensure that the total power does not exceed the
switch or power injector total power.
Example: IP switch total power is 150 W. You use PoE+ and four outputs are
connected. The total output power is 4 x 30 W = 120 W. This is smaller than the
capacity of the IP switch, 150 W. This scenario is acceptable.
PoE cable loss calculation
There is power loss in the Ethernet cable. The reason for the power loss is that
the CAT cable conductor is thin and has considerable resistance. The power loss
increases with increasing cable length. The maximum cable length is 100 meters
(333 feet). Calculate the power loss in cable at 25 mW/m or 7,4 mW/ft. The
4410A will automatically adapt to the power loss in the cable, but lower input
power will slightly reduce the maximum SPL output. In order to minimize the
cable loss and to maximize the duration at maximum SPL for very long cable
runs, consider using power injectors close to the loudspeakers or short cable
runs.
ISS AUTOSTART
The automatic power function ISS (Intelligent Signal Sensing) powers the
loudspeaker automatically down when it is not in used and up when the use
resumes. ISS can be activated and adjusted with the Smart IP Manager
software. Powering down to standby happens after a set time when playback has
ended. Playback automatically resumes with an input signal exceeding the level
configured using the Smart IP Manager. There is a slight delay in the automatic
powering up. If this is undesirable, ISS can be disabled with Smart IP Manager.
The intended use of this loudspeaker requires that the IP network interface is
continuously enabled also in the standby mode. This enables the ISS to wake up
with an API command or in response to IP audio stream. The power consumption
in of a 4410A in standby mode is 3 W. To save more power, the PoE+ power
supply in the Ethernet switch or PoE injector can be turned off. However, the
loudspeaker wakeup when the PoE power is turned back on again will take a
longer time and the loudspeaker does not respond to any IP network commands
while it is not powered and until it has started.
SELECTION OF IP SWITCH
Smart IP and the 4410A are fully compatible with standard Ethernet and IP
switch technology. Genelec recommends using gigabit speed managed IP
switches with full PoE+ on each of the outputs intended for 4410A loudspeakers.

7
Managed IP switches offer the ability to configure, manage and monitor the local
area network, typically using a web browser user interface, and this helps in
creating a well working system.
The IP switches should support QoS and be media ready. Differentiated services
(DiffServ) typically implements QoS prioritization of IP traffic. DiffServ marks IP
packets according to priority. In response, IP switches can prioritize media traffic
to improve system performance. Differentiated services code point (DSCP)
markings in the IP packet headers are sensed by the QoS capable IP switch.
Genelec does not endorse certain IP switch brands as Smart IP works perfectly
with all high-quality standard IP switches with these capabilities. Use of 100
Mbps IP switches is discouraged and use of higher capacity IP switches is
encouraged.
NETWORK STRUCTURE
Genelec recommends always designing a network structure with a star topology.
Only one IP device (for example, one 4410A) should be connected to one port of
an IP switch. IP device ports should not be daisy chained to several IP devices.
Audio-over-IP requires the use of a cable-based LAN network. Low-latency
uncompressed audio-over-IP streaming does not work over WLAN.
SETTING UP AUDIO STREAMS
Audio stream setup is done by using Dante Controller software. Download the
software from https://www.audinate.com/products/software/dante-controller
An AES67/ST2110 audio stream supported by the loudspeaker can contain the
maximum of 8 audio channels. Dante automatically divides a multichannel
stream into several low channel count flows suitable for the speaker and this
process is largely automatic.
The 4410A can select one audio channel or a sum of two channels in a stream.
The AES67 compatibility mode must turned ON to enable reception of AES67 or
ST2110 streams. Follow these instructions:
• Double click on the loudspeaker to be configured. The Device View
window opens.
• Click the AES67 Config -tab.
• In the AES67 Mode panel, go to New: and select Enabled.
• In the Reset Device panel, click Reboot to reboot the loudspeaker with
AES67 enabled.

GENELEC SMART IP MANAGER SOFTWARE
Acoustic calibration, zone setup, input selection and loudspeaker management
are done using Genelec Smart IP Manager software. This is software intended
for AV installers. Genelec recommends using the Application Programming
Interface (API) inside the loudspeaker used with house automation systems for
end-user control.
Download Smart IP Manager at https://www.genelec.com/smart-ip-manager and
follow screen instructions to install. For detailed use of the Genelec Smart IP
manager software, please refer to the Smart IP Manager operating manual.
Zone settings
A zone is a collection of loudspeakers working as a system. The settings
collectively applied to a selection of loudspeakers called the Zone includes

9
• mute
• zone level control
• settings profile selection
Normally, level is adjusted at the stream source. In the Smart IP manager
software, the output level of the Zone or a complete system can be set by
adjusting the level in the Smart IP Manager software using the ‘-‘ and ‘+’ buttons.
Each zone can have up to five different Profiles. A Profile contains a collection of
settings including settings of all acoustical controls, the input selection and the
level and delay alignments. These are first designed and stored in each
loudspeaker. Then, each zone can work as a system. Selecting a Profile will
collectively recall all settings stored under this profile in each loudspeaker
belonging in this Zone.
Figure 6. Controlling the zone with Smart IP Manager software.
Editing acoustic settings
The frequency response of the 4410A can be compensated for the room’s
acoustical influences by editing the settings in the Acoustics tab in the Genelec
Smart IP Manager. Acoustical calibration settings are specific to each
loudspeaker.
To set, select one or more loudspeakers in the device list. Selecting more than
one loudspeaker applies the settings to all selected loudspeakers at once.
To adjust, select the Acoustics tab. You have several controls in the tab
• delay (delay alignment control)
• sensitivity (to align this loudspeaker’s output level with other
loudspeakers)
• 20 parametric acoustic settings (to compensate room acoustic
influences)
Turn on audio inputs:
mix à stream in à
analogue in à no input à
mix.
Unallocated Smart IP
devices are listed under
“Default” zone.
Zone can be muted and
level controlled with ‘-’
and ‘+’ buttons.

10
The acoustic measuring tool normally used by AV installers can be used to set
these adjustments. Careful listening with test recordings is also recommended.
For each parametric filter, select the filter by clicking on the filter box icon. Select
the function for this filter in the Type drop down box. Each parametric filter has
up to three slider controls that set the parameter values. Quick selections are
also provided for Bass Roll-off, Bass Tilt and Treble Tilt.
Figure 7. Modifying the acoustic settings of a Smart IP loudspeaker.
Factory settings
The factory setting for all acoustic settings is “OFF”, sensitivity attenuator set to 0
dB, and delay set to 0 ms. These give a flat anechoic response. Audio stream
settings are reset. With the factory settings, all that is needed to play audio is to
configure an audio-over-IP stream in the stream input. Set stream again to
resume normal streaming operation.
To reset a 4410A to factory settings, press the power button for more than 10
seconds. The loudspeaker indicates that the reset process starts. Then, you can
release the power button but do not disconnect power supplied by the Ethernet
cable until the reset process is complete. Once the reset is complete, the
loudspeaker again becomes available and active on the Smart IP Manager
software. This typically takes less than one minute.
APPLICATION PROGRAMMING INTERFACE (API)
The 4410A Smart IP loudspeaker has a set of API commands that can be used
to enable control 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.
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.

Maximum short-term output level is limited by the PoE technology being used and the
crest factor of the audio signal. The stated values are typical for music and speech
signals.
Maximum long-term output level can be further limited by loudspeaker system protection.
Genelec recommends using PoE+ whenever possible. Using lower-power PoE can limit
short-term maximum and long-term maximum, depending on the characteristics of the
signal being reproduced.
User selectable filters can be set to positive gain. Positive gain must be used with care as
it is possible to cause premature overload of the loudspeaker at specific frequencies.
