The Symetrix Control Library is the premier source for high-quality, customized third-party control and logic modules. This free resource allows engineers and system designers to easily browse, download and install approved solutions for integration with Symetrix-powered DSP systems.
Combining exceptional sound quality and single-cable networked convenience, the Genelec Smart IP family encompasses wall, ceiling and pendant loudspeaker models – complemented by the pioneering new 3440A PoE subwoofer – all of which can be combined freely on a Dante or AES67 network for a completely scalable full-range audio solution.
Compatible with the entire Smart IP range, the new Intelligent Module from Symetrix opens powerful IP-based communication between devices – allowing monitoring and control of each loudspeaker and making this accessible to end users via a control screen or other Symetrix control devices. The Intelligent Module controls loudspeaker gain, mute, active status and device identification, and also supports monitoring of input and output level, operation mode, PoE status, CPU temperature and a number of other important system diagnostics.
A particularly notable feature is the ability to daisy-chain ‘leader’ and ‘follower’ modules. Once modules are linked, changes to one module can be synced to all the other modules in the system – which makes the simultaneous adjustment of multiple loudspeakers extremely simple.
“Symetrix sees Genelec as a company focused on quality,” comments Quinn Klarer, Product Manager at Symetrix. “Over the past few years we have seen the quality of IP-based devices improve through companies like Genelec and Symetrix, and we think it’s important to continue that trajectory. As soon as we saw the Smart IP loudspeakers, we knew they would be a perfect match for our DSP line.”
Genelec AV Business Manager Kati Pajukallio adds: “Elevating the user experience by providing smooth integration with third party control systems has been crucial to the success of the Smart IP loudspeaker family. Symetrix DSP control technology has an extremely well-earned reputation in the world of installed sound, so we’re particularly pleased that integrators the world over can now create systems that take advantage of the joint expertise of our two companies.”
