Lightware and Genelec Announce Integration to Optimise Audio
Control in Corporate AV Systems
Lightware Visual Engineering, one of the leading manufacturers of connectivity solutions for
the
professional integrated systems market and a pioneer in signal management, announced an innovative
technology collaboration with Genelec, one of the industry leaders in active loudspeaker
technology,
integrating the Lightware Automated Room Automation (LARA) platform with Genelec's Smart
IP PoE
loudspeaker family.
By enabling system integrators and AV professionals to easily integrate Genelec Smart IP
loudspeakers and subwoofers with Lightware products, users benefit from precise control over
essential audio functions such as power management, volume control and mute functions. The solution
is particularly valuable in corporate environments where audio quality and ease of use are paramount
and eliminates the need for third-party control systems.
The new driver not only simplifies the setup and configuration process but also allows for real-time
monitoring of loudspeaker status, providing critical information such as firmware version, zone ID,
heartbeat and more. Additionally, it enables the loading and configuration of custom acoustic
profiles, ensuring optimal audio performance in any environment. For easy troubleshooting, the
identification function allows users to locate specific loudspeakers in a multi-loudspeaker setup by
triggering a 20-second LED blink.
The collaboration between Lightware and Genelec is based on shared values and a longstanding
commitment to quality, innovation and customer satisfaction. Both companies are known for their
track record of developing premium technology and providing exceptional customer support.
"Genelec's position as the industry standard in professional loudspeaker solutions aligns perfectly
with Lightware's mission to deliver best-in-class AV connectivity," said Gergely Vida,
Lightware's
CEO. "This technology integration delivers a complete solution that meets the highest standards of
audio quality and control in professional environments."
"By integrating our Smart IP loudspeakers with Lightware's LARA platform, we're creating a powerful
ecosystem that optimises the user experience in professional environments," said Kati Pajukallio,
Genelec's AV Business Manager. "It also underlines our shared commitment to innovation and solutions
that deliver the highest levels of performance and control."
