Genelec 3440 Smart IP Subwoofer
Introduction
The Genelec 3440A Smart IP subwoofer is
a high performance subwoofer designed
to support Genelec's 4400 Series Smart
IP loudspeakers. It requires only one CAT
cable to connect, making installation easy.
The 3440A is powered using the standard
Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) technology,
using PoE+ or PoE standards. Using PoE+
is recommended for achieving the full
performance of the 3440A. The proprietary
internal power supply in 3440A delivers an
impressive short-term SPL.
The cabinet is made from MDF with
rounded corners and hardwearing textured
surface. The driver is concealed inside
an efficiency boosting cavity, which also
protects it from physical damage. The driver
is specially front loaded to improve both the
passband efficiency and stopband rejection.
Reflex ports are generously sized with
radiused exits to prevent air chuffing noises.
The 3440A supports Genelec Smart IP
technology, which provides scalable power,
audio, and loudspeaker configuration.
Supervision and calibration features are
accessed via a standard CAT cable, offering
integrators unrivalled power, flexibility, cost
effectiveness, and simplicity of installation.
The 3440A has been designed for excellent
sound quality over a very long lifetime. The
3340A is manufactured using certified
sustainable methods, and all essential parts
of the subwoofer can be recycled.
The 3440A subwoofer contains
• A highly efficient dedicated Class D power
amplifier
• Switched-mode power supply technology
offering high SPL output using standard
PoE+ and PoE power supply with an IP
switch or power injector
• Electronic system protection
• Audio-over-IP streaming input
• Balanced analogue line input
• Flexible room acoustic compensation tool
set built in
• A cavity over the driver boosts the driver's
efficiency and acoustically attenuates
possible distortion components
The 3440A is designed for indoor use
in temperatures 15-35 Celsius and non-
condencing humidity

Installation

When placed on the floor, the 3440A can
be placed in an upright position (factory
default) or flat on its side. If placed sideways,
the base pads must be removed from
the original threads and screwed into the
thread inserts on the connector panel side
to provide sufficient clearing for the cables
and avoid scratching. Wall and ceiling
mounting is possible using a Genelec 3440-
400 bracket available as an accessory. In
all cases, there must be a a free space of
10 cm (4 in) in front of the reflex ports and
all cabling must be routed so that there
is no tension or pinching. When mounted
on a wall or ceiling, the base pads can be
removed for a cleaner appearance.
Cabling
To get started, connect an Ethernet cable
from the PoE+ output in an IP switch to
