Genelec shortlisted for three 2024 AV Awards
Genelec is in contention for the coveted Sustainability Initiative of the Year Award – marking yet further recognition for our sustainability credentials, which have helped us clinch the Green Business and Manufacturer of the Year honours in 2020 and 2021 respectively. Additionally, our pioneering 3440A Smart IP PoE subwoofer is shortlisted for Audio Technology of the Year, and the Genelec-equipped hybrid accommodation project UNITY Aarhus is vying for Leisure and Hospitality Project of the Year.
It’s always particularly gratifying for us to be appreciated for our approach to sustainability – which is equally as important to our business as sound quality and profitability. Since our founding in 1978, we've focused on sustainable development – producing only long-lasting, serviceable loudspeaker systems and prioritising our staff’s well-being. In choosing the winner of the 2024 Sustainability Initiative of the Year Award, AV Magazine’s panel of experts will carefully evaluate our successes in working culture, environmental management, sustainable supply, sustainability reporting and developmental goals.
Seeing the pioneering 3440A PoE subwoofer attracting attention brings us a great amount of joy, as it’s a quite unparalleled low-frequency solution in the AV world. Our Smart IP family of loudspeakers is no stranger to the Audio Technology of the Year Award, having won it in 2020. And now, with the addition of the 3440A, AV professionals can finally create studio quality full-range Smart IP networked loudspeaker systems, all via PoE. Like all our Smart IP loudspeakers, the subwoofer provides the convenience of single-cable installation and all the benefits of networked audio, including easy system management, endless scalability and unrestricted zoning.
Our third nomination is for the highly functional and aesthetically beautiful Genelec installation at premium co-working and residential complex UNITY Aarhus in Denmark. Overseen by local integration specialists TuneButler, the project utilised the ease-of-installation of our 4000 series loudspeakers while delivering an exceptional customer experience with their crystal-clear, intelligible playback and elegant design.
Completely unrivalled within the AV industry, the AV Awards continues to be a true badge of excellence in the field. Since its launch in 1999, the Awards have led the way in highlighting the outstanding achievements of exceptional individuals, companies, projects and technology across the AV, events and production sectors. Hosting over 1400 industry professionals, the Awards remain independent, thorough and transparent with annual auditing of the categories and judging process by a carefully curated steering committee.

We'd like to wish all our esteemed industry colleagues the absolute best of luck, and a splendid evening!
