To support the continued international sales growth of Genelec’s Installed Sound loudspeaker solutions, the Finnish company has been hosting a series of in-depth training seminars for integrators across Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand.
Hosted in conjunction with local Genelec distributors Broadcast Professional and Fuzion Far East, the sessions were run by Genelec Installed Sound expert Fredrik Setterberg. After providing some background to Genelec’s own history and design philosophy, Setterberg went on to explain the key technologies behind Genelec’s Installed Sound solutions, before focusing on the Smart IP family of networked audio loudspeakers and subwoofers.
Setterberg then spent some time discussing the Dante protocol and Genelec’s Smart IP Manager configuration software, which integrates tightly with the internal DSP hardware within every Smart IP model. Smart IP Manager enables installers to configure an almost unlimited number of rooms, zones, loudspeakers, and audio channels. Listening sessions allowed attendees to audition both the sound quality and SPL that Smart IP offers.
Setterberg commented: "Since the launch of Smart IP, we’ve steadily seen our profile in Installed Sound extend beyond our Nordic heartlands to a much wider international audience. The attendees at each of these seminars have already started to embrace the opportunities that networked audio offers, and we see huge potential in SE Asia for our Installed Sound technology – and Smart IP in particular. We’d like to warmly thank everyone that attended, and our friends at Broadcast Professional and Fuzion Far East for helping to make these events such a success. Lastly, we’re really looking forward to returning to the region for more training sessions soon."
