Genelec reveals Smart IP Controller 2.0 App
— A new interface for intuitive audio control —
NATICK, MA, June 3, 2026 — Genelec is continuing to enhance the experience of its Smart IP loudspeaker series with the release of Smart IP Controller 2.0 mobile app for audio control. Featuring a completely new user interface, the new app simplifies control of small-scale installations, making operation faster, clearer and more accessible.
Smart IP Controller 2.0 has been significantly updated to deliver a more robust, responsive and intuitive interface for end users as well as integrators. Developed from the ground up, version 2.0 creates a more streamlined interface that prioritizes ease of use.
Available for download on smartphones and tablets (iOS or Android), the app is designed for control of Genelec Smart IP audio-over-IP installations, popular in hospitality and retail venues. The app allows easy daily viewing and management of loudspeaker zones, each with its own set of controls for precise audio adjustment. Based on user feedback, the app has been carefully designed to improve usability in day-to-day operations.
App installation is guided through a simple and efficient process that automatically discovers loudspeaker zones created on the network. Some or all preconfigured zones can be assigned within the app, allowing for a personalized and user-centric control experience.
A visually refined user interface provides simple control of essential system functions, such as volume, mute and power on/off. The app delivers easy access to profiles configured in Genelec’s Smart IP Manager software, enabling quick recall of EQ, level and input settings tailored to different spaces and applications. The app can be simultaneously used on multiple control devices.
“Smart IP Controller 2.0 takes everything users valued in the original app, and refines it into a fast, intuitive experience,” says Aki Mäkivirta, R&D Director at Genelec. “The new app provides a natural extension of the Smart IP system, giving users flexible, reliable control in most installations without the need to invest in automation systems or network technology -specific training. The new app is a key step in making Smart IP installed audio systems more accessible in all applications.”
Genelec prides itself on its high-performance, high-quality loudspeaker design, and with Smart IP Controller 2.0, this same philosophy is extended to its mobile software, ensuring customers benefit from intuitive, user-friendly control alongside exceptional audio performance.

Genelec is credited with promoting the concept of active transducer technology. Since its inception in 1978, Genelec has concentrated its efforts and resources into creating active monitors with unparalleled sonic integrity. The result is an active speaker system that has earned global acclaim for its accurate imaging, extremely high acoustic output from small enclosures, true high-fidelity with low distortion, and deep, rich bass.
Genelec is also marking its 20th year of Smart Active Monitoring™ technology, which allows studio monitors to be connected, configured and calibrated for the user’s specific acoustic environment. Each Smart Active Monitor or subwoofer is equipped with advanced internal DSP circuitry, which tightly integrates with the GLM (Genelec Loudspeaker Manager) software application, running on Mac or PC. GLM’s reference microphone kit allows the user’s acoustic environment to be analyzed, after which GLM’s AutoCal feature optimizes each Smart Active Monitor for level, distance delay, subwoofer crossover phase and room response equalization, with the option of further fine tuning by the user. By minimizing the room’s influence on the sound, Smart Active Monitors deliver an unrivalled reference, with excellent translation between rooms.
