Description

The Genelec 9402A is a system management device that connects Dante, AES67, and ST2110-30 audio-over-IP sources with Genelec Smart Active Monitoring systems. It converts networked multichannel audio into up to 16 channels of AES/EBU output, making it well suited to immersive and multichannel monitoring layouts up to 9.1.6. Dedicated connections for Genelec SAM subwoofers and an auxiliary stereo output also support bass-managed systems, headphone monitoring, or an additional stereo monitor setup. 

Designed for rack installation, the 9402A fits easily into modern studio, broadcast, post-production, and other networked audio environments. Dual Ethernet ports can provide redundant network operation, while Genelec Loudspeaker Manager software handles system configuration, channel routing, calibration, and alignment. Front-panel indicators offer quick confirmation of power and signal activity, and Intelligent Signal Sensing helps reduce power use when no audio stream is present. 

Features

Audio-over-IP Integration
Connects networked audio sources directly to Genelec monitoring systems using widely adopted professional audio formats.

Immersive Monitoring Support
Handles multichannel audio for surround and immersive studio setups.

Digital Monitor Outputs
Sends clean AES/EBU audio directly to compatible Genelec monitors without altering the source signal.

Dedicated Subwoofer Connection
Provides a direct digital link for compatible Genelec subwoofers and supports coordinated bass management.

Flexible Stereo Output
Offers an additional stereo output for headphones or a separate monitoring system.

Redundant Network Operation
Uses dual network connections to help maintain uninterrupted audio if the primary connection fails.

GLM System Management
Works with Genelec Loudspeaker Manager for system setup, channel assignment, calibration, and alignment.

Automatic Room Calibration
Supports complete monitoring-system calibration to improve consistency at the listening position.

Front-Panel Status Indicators
Shows power and output activity clearly for quick system checks.

Energy-Saving Operation
Automatically enters a low-power state when no audio stream is present and returns to normal operation when audio resumes.

Rack-Mount Design
Fits easily into professional studio and equipment-rack installations.
