Genelec 4010AM Compact Active 2-Way Installation Speaker - Mystic Black

The Genelec 4010AM is a compact, active 2-way installation speaker engineered for professional and commercial audio applications where exceptional sound quality, reliability, and adaptability are paramount. Part of Genelec’s renowned 4000 Series, this speaker excels in delivering pristine audio performance within a small footprint, making it perfect for conference rooms, retail spaces, museums, co-working environments, and other fixed AV setups.

Design and Build

The 4010AM boasts a sleek, minimalist design with dimensions of 181 mm (H) x 121 mm (W) x 115 mm (D) (7.13" x 4.76" x 4.53"), including its Iso-Pod base. Its Minimum Diffraction Enclosure (MDE™) is crafted from die-cast recycled aluminum, offering a lightweight yet rigid structure that minimizes sound reflections for improved imaging. The enclosure’s Mystic Black finish ensures a professional aesthetic, with alternative colors available in the 4010A lineup. Manufactured in Finland using sustainable practices, the aluminum also serves as an efficient heat sink for the internal amplifiers. Flexible mounting options, including wall brackets and threaded points, enhance its installation versatility.

Audio Performance

Equipped with a 3-inch woofer and a 0.75-inch metal-dome tweeter, the 4010AM delivers a frequency response of 74 Hz to 20 kHz (-6 dB) and a maximum SPL of 102 dB—remarkable for its size. The Directivity Control Waveguide (DCW™) optimizes dispersion, ensuring consistent sound across wide areas while minimizing reflections. This makes it ideal for speech clarity and background music in challenging acoustics.

Amplification and Electronics

The 4010AM’s active design integrates 50W of Class-D amplification (25W per driver), an electronic crossover, and protection circuitry within its compact frame. This eliminates the need for external amplifiers, simplifying setup. The Class-D amps provide efficiency and excellent transient response, while protection circuits ensure durability for continuous use.

Connectivity and Controls

A Euroblock analog input supports secure, daisy-chainable connections, perfect for installation environments. Onboard room compensation switches allow treble and bass adjustments to tailor the sound to specific acoustics. An energy-saving standby mode further enhances its efficiency.

Key Benefits and Applications

With its clarity, reliability, and adaptability, the 4010AM shines in small to medium installations—think retail background music, conference audio, or museum ambiance. Its sustainable build and sleek design make it both eco-conscious and visually appealing.
