The Smart IP 4436A hanging pendant loudspeaker is specially designed for AV installations in open high-ceiling spaces, easing targeted sound distribution while combining subtle aesthetics with the highest quality sound reproduction — and utilising our award-winning Smart IP single-cable networked technology for ease of installation, system scalability and simple operation. The elegant and highly durable steel pendant design of the two-way 4436A provides exceptional long-term value for premium AV installations and is available in a choice of black or white finish.
Built for style and sustainability
Designed and manufactured in Finland to be visually pleasing while meeting the highest sustainability standards, the 4436A is a hangable premium audio solution with a minimal environmental footprint and highly robust construction, assuring decades of reliable usage for amplifying captivating sound experiences. Genelec developed the loudspeaker's design in co-operation with celebrated industrial designer, Harri Koskinen, fusing our industry-leading acoustic expertise with Harri's minimalist Nordic flair, for a no-compromise combination of pure sound and design.
Uncompromised sound quality
With over four decades as the world's leading provider of professional monitoring loudspeakers, Genelec is uniquely placed to offer AV loudspeaker solutions with the highest quality of truthful, detailed and rich sound. Whenever audio is intended to create an attractive experience that visitors enjoy, Genelec's Smart IP product line assures a robust and flexible system that's designed and manufactured to meet the most demanding needs in AV.
Smart IP
Smart IP is Genelec's scalable Open IP networking technology platform, deriving power (PoE or PoE+ Power-over-Ethernet), audio and management all via a single standard CAT cable. The technology offers detailed loudspeaker configuration, supervision and calibration on an individual, room, zone and system level - without performance sacrifice. Each model, including the 4436A, reproduces audio with the highest level of uniform coverage, clarity and intelligibility, and can be freely networked with other Smart IP models to flawlessly play back Dante and AES67 streams.
Ease of installation
The 4436A is simple and easy to install, requiring only a single CAT cable for power, audio and management, and its included adjustable wire for hanging. Genelec Smart IP Manager software takes care of device discovery and allows the detailed configuration and status monitoring of loudspeakers, rooms, zones and audio channels. Day-to-day control of basic system functions is made even simpler by our intuitive Smart IP Controller app for iOS and Android devices. Additionally, our Smart IP solutions benefit from a public API command set and a series of freely available drivers that allow easy integration with a range of common control automation systems.
Loudspeaker Qualities
The 4436A supports uncompressed low-latency audio with loudspeaker synchronisation to sub-microsecond level for solid acoustic imaging, and delivers a response of 58 Hz - 39 kHz via two independent internal 50 W Class D amplification stages – which drive a 130 mm (5 1/8 inch) woofer and 19 mm (3/4 inch) metal dome tweeter.
The two-way 4436A features proprietary internal power supply technology that stores power in order produce an impressive 104 dB of short term SPL whenever needed.
This active design provides both optimum audio performance and removes the need for bulky racks of external amplifiers and their associated cabling.
Design
Created in conjunction with leading industrial designer Harri Koskinen, the 4436A is Genelec’s very first pendant model. The loudspeaker is available in black and white finishes and is easily hung with the included hanging wire.
Designed and manufactured sustainably in Finland under strict quality systems, backed up by Genelec’s well-earned reputation for unrivalled technical support. Considering reliability, flexibility and ease of installation to guarantee decades of reliable service.
