Genelec at ISE 2026: Smart IP, Sustainability and Strong Partnerships
Once again, we brought the full Smart IP PoE loudspeaker family to ISE, showcasing our technology that delivers high-quality networked audio over a single cable to ease a wide range of premium installation applications – from corporate, retail, and hospitality environments to museums and public spaces.
Over four days of conversations, connections and inspiration, the event brought the global AV and systems integration community together, achieving a record attendance of over 92 thousand visitors and proving that ISE remains a must-attend show for the industry.
As a result, the energy this year was on another level, and we felt it all week at our stand. The Genelec booth featured a 7.1.4 immersive Smart IP setup, inviting visitors to step in and experience audio using models from across the Smart IP family. From the 4436A hanging pendant to the 4410A, 4420A and 4430A onwall models and 3440A PoE subwoofer, the immersive system demonstrated the convenience and power of Smart IP and its single–CAT–cable connectivity. Alongside that, we also presented our Smart IP Manager configuration software, options for thirdparty control and RAL custom colours.
AV.TECHNOLOGY caught up with Genelec's Anthony Berry for a tour of our booth, which you can watch below:
Winning Inavation's Sustainability Award on the opening night of ISE set a wonderfully positive tone for the days that followed and gave us an extra boost of energy and inspiration. We would like to thank Inavate Magazine, the jury, our industry partners, and the wider AV community for recognising our longterm commitment to sustainability, which has remained a core value at Genelec since our founding in 1978.
In another memorable moment, Genelec hosted a relaxed booth gettogether for our very own Genelec AV Awards, where we proudly recognised industry partners who have created outstanding Genelec installations. We were delighted to welcome and honour the three winning integrators: Ximple AB for Eidra HQ, TM Vestergaard for Gastromé, and Ata Tech B.V. for Portlantis. The gathering reminded us that ISE is just as much about celebrating people and partnerships as it is about technology.
“Thank you to everyone who stopped by our booth. As always, ISE turned out to be one of the most enjoyable and rewarding shows of the year” comments Kati Pajukallio, Business Manager for the Installed Sound segment at Genelec.
