4.5  Downloading and Installing Smart IP Manager 

Acoustic calibration, zone setup, input selection and loudspeaker management are done using 
Genelec Smart IP Manager software. This is a software intended for AV installers. Genelec 
recommends using the Application Programming Interface (API) inside the loudspeaker to be used 
with home automation systems for the end-user control.  

Download Smart IP Manager at 

https://www.genelec.com/smart-ip-manager

 and follow screen 

instructions to install.   

4.6  Downloading and Installing Smart IP Controller 

Optional Smart IP Controller App can be downloaded for Smart IP system control. Applications are 
available in Google Play store and Apple Store. To be able to use the controller the network should 
be extended with a Wifi router.   

 

4.7  Setting Up IP Audio Stream 

Audio stream setup is done by using Dante Controller software. Download the software from 

https://www.audinate.com/products/software/dante-controller 

 

Each Smart IP Monitor can be configured to receive one or two audio channels.
