Genelec 4010AM (also known as 4010A) is an ultra-compact, high-performance two-way active installation speaker engineered for premium commercial and AV integration. The "M" designation specifies the speaker's sleek Producer Black/Mystic Black finish. Designed to deliver reference-grade acoustic clarity in a miniature footprint, this model is highly demanded in museums, luxury retail shops, upscale conference rooms, and high-end restaurants where space is limited but premium sound is paramount.
Industrial Design and Cabinet Technology
MDE™ (Minimum Diffraction Enclosure): The speaker cabinet is crafted from premium die-cast recycled aluminum with rounded edge profiles. This patented geometry eliminates edge diffraction, producing an incredibly smooth frequency response and a pristine sonic image.
DCW™ (Directivity Control Waveguide): The 0.75" metal dome tweeter is nested into an advanced integrated waveguide. This design ensures a uniform, wide dispersion pattern and accurate frequency balance, minimizing parasitic wall and ceiling reflections.
Integrated Active Architecture: Power amplifiers, active electronic crossovers, and protective limiter circuits are housed entirely within the compact cabinet. This all-in-one approach eliminates the need for external power amplifier racks and expensive speaker cabling.
Acoustic and Technical Performance
The speaker features a bi-amplified design fueled by dual efficient Class-D amplifiers delivering a total of 50 Watts of power (25W dedicated to the 3-inch woofer and 25W to the 0.75-inch tweeter). It reliably reproduces a surprisingly deep frequency range spanning from 67 Hz to 25 kHz (-6 dB) with a peak output capacity of 96 dB SPL per speaker at 1 meter. The back panel is equipped with room compensation DIP switches, allowing installers to quickly calibrate bass response and tone to combat acoustic anomalies in challenging rooms.
Pro-AV Connectivity and Dimensions
Audio Input: Features a professional, balanced 3-pin Euroblock (Phoenix) terminal connection for reliable and clean signal integration.
Physical Footprint: Stands just 181 mm tall, 121 mm wide, and 115 mm deep. It is exceptionally lightweight at a mere 1.5 kg.
Energy Management: Employs Intelligent Signal Sensing (ISS™) logic, which automatically switches the unit into a ultra-low power standby mode (<0.5W) when no input audio is detected.
