Abstract Following Bezhanishvili and Vosmaer, we confirm a conjecture of Yde Venema by piecing together results from various authors. Specifically, we show that if A is a residually finite, finitely generated modal algebra such that HSP(A) has equationally definable principal congruences, then the profinite completion of A is isomorphic to its MacNeille completion, and ◊ is smooth. Specific examples of such modal algebras are the free K4-algebra and the free PDL-algebra.
