Lightware and Genelec collaborate on integration project

Under terms of agreement, Genelec’s Smart IP PoE loudspeaker family will be integrated into the Lightware Automated Room Automation (LARA) platform

Lightware Visual Engineering, a manufacturer of connectivity solutions for the professional integrated systems market and a pioneer in signal management, has announced a technology collaboration with Genelec, a provider of active loudspeaker technology, integrating the Lightware Automated Room Automation (LARA) platform with Genelec’s Smart IP PoE loudspeaker family.

The idea is that by enabling system integrators and AV professionals to easily integrate Genelec Smart IP loudspeakers and subwoofers with Lightware products, users will benefit from precise control over essential audio functions such as power management, volume control and mute functions.

Lightware and Genelec believe that the solution will be particularly valuable in corporate environments where audio quality and ease of use are paramount, especially as it eliminates the need for third-party control systems.

The new driver is designed to simplify the setup and configuration process and also allow 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. The identification function also allows users to locate specific loudspeakers in a multi-loudspeaker setup by triggering a 20-second LED blink.

Gergely Vida, CEO, Lightware, said: “Genelec’s position as the industry standard in professional loudspeaker solutions aligns perfectly with Lightware’s mission to deliver best-in-class AV connectivity. This technology integration delivers a complete solution that meets the highest standards of audio quality and control in professional environments.”

Kati Pajukallio, AV business manager, Genelec, added: “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. It also underlines our shared commitment to innovation and solutions that deliver the highest levels of performance and control.”
