Genelec 4435 Smart IP In-Ceiling Installation Speaker
Introduction
The bi-amplified Genelec 4435A Smart IP
In-Ceiling loudspeaker is a high performance
in-ceiling loudspeaker for fixed installations.
It requires only one CAT cable to connect,
making installation easy. The 4435A
is powered using the standard Power-
over-Ethernet (PoE) technology, using
PoE+ or PoE standards. The proprietary
internal power supply in 4435A delivers an
impressive short-term SPL.
The 4435A supports Genelec Smart
IP technology, and it may be used solely,
or together with other Genelec 44xx
models. 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 4435A has been designed for
excellent sound quality and very long
lifetime and manufactured using certified
sustainable methods. All essential parts of
the loudspeaker can be recycled.
The 4435A is available in with four different
grille options: white or black round grille and
white or black square grille.

Installation

If you are installing the 4435A to an existing
construction, examine the ceiling thoroughly
for the shortest and least obstructed
cable route. Be careful to avoid cutting or
drilling into electrical wires, ventilation or
water pipes. All of this is of course much
easier when the installation takes place in
an unfinished building where the ceiling
structure is still open. For new construction
installs, we recommend planning the
loudspeaker placement at an early stage
and using the optional Genelec New
Construction Brackets (order code 272-
0039) for marking the desired locations. The
brackets can be nailed or screwed to the
studs to show the ceiling panel installers the
places where holes for the loudspeakers are
to be located.
When installing the enclosure in an
existing ceiling, use the cardboard ceiling
cut-out template to find the best location.
The template also shows the position of the
loudspeaker drivers and acoustic axis, so
you can easily find the placement that brings
them to the desired position
Examine the ceiling structure carefully to
find a clearly unobstructed location for the
loudspeaker. The loudspeaker enclosure
requires a minimum of 162 millimeters (6
in) of free depth measured from the outer
surface of the sheetrock. Also note that
the enclosure flange is wider than the hole
and requires about 20 millimeters (3/4 in)
of smooth ceiling surface around the hole.
When you have found a good location,
check that the template is level and trace the
hole onto the ceiling with a pencil along the
outline of the template. If you are not sure
that the chosen part of ceiling is free from
obstructions, you can start by making a
smaller hole at the center of the marked area
