16 monitor outputs including digital connectivity
The Genelec 9401A System Management Device for AoIP is equipped with an impressive 16 monitor outputs, allowing you to support a wide range of formats, from stereo to 9.1.6. This means you can create immersive audio experiences with incredible precision and detail. Whether you're a professional sound engineer or an avid music enthusiast, this device brings all the convenience and flexibility of multi-channel networked audio to the UNIO platform.
As a perfect partner to Genelec's Smart Active Monitors and Subwoofers, the 9401A provides you with 16 channels of digital connectivity, along with dedicated subwoofer and auxiliary stereo outputs, all via AES/EBU. This ensures a clean and reliable signal transmission, allowing you to enjoy the full potential of your audio setup. The auxiliary output is especially useful for headphones, allowing you to monitor binaural and secondary stereo loudspeakers. Plus, with the tight integration of the 9401A with Genelec Loudspeaker Manager (GLM) software, you can calibrate your entire system, align your subwoofer, and take advantage of bass management features.
Expandability and compatibility
The 9401A offers expandability and compatibility options to suit your evolving audio needs. With its separate subwoofer output, you can easily chain Genelec Smart Active Subwoofers to increase the low-frequency SPL output. Furthermore, you can quickly expand the channel capacity by adding more 9401A devices, enabling compatibility with high channel count immersive formats like 22.2. This means you can future-proof your setup and adapt to new audio formats without any hassle.
AoIP Networking and GLM Integration
In addition to its impressive connectivity options, the 9401A also boasts AoIP networking capabilities. This allows you to connect and manage your audio devices through a network, providing seamless integration and control. The device's integration with Genelec Loudspeaker Manager (GLM) software further enhances its functionality. You can easily calibrate and adjust your entire monitoring system, including subwoofer alignment and bass management, all from the comfort of your computer.
Support for multiple sample rates with low-latency performance
The 9401A delivers outstanding performance with support for sample rates ranging from 44.1 kHz to 192 kHz, and it offers various resolutions per sample, including 16, 24, and 32 bits. Its Gigabit Ethernet ensures low latency, optimizing your audio experience. The device also supports the ST2110 broadcast suite and features ST2022-7 redundant network connectivity, as well as NMOS integration to enterprise management and automation systems. Built to last with high environmental standards at Genelec's factory in Iisalmi, Finland, the 9401A is designed for decades of reliable service.
