Spain - LEA has announced the addition of 3,000W per channel IoT-enabled smart amplifiers to the Connect Series lineup. The company will also showcase the Connect Series Touch wall controller and more in Barcelona (stand 7B800).
The Connect Series 3004/3004D adds power and expands the options in its Connect Series IoT-enabled smart amplifier lineup. The four-channel 3004/3004D drives up to 3,000W per channel into 2, 4, and 8 ohms as well as 70Vrms and 100Vrms, and is available in Network Connect and Dante Connect versions. The 3004D includes both 96kHz-capable Dante and AES67 connectivity options. The 3004 and 3004D include advanced DSP with 96kHz linear phase FIR crossover filters, acoustically transparent look ahead RMS and peak limiters, 32-bit floating-point DSP with built-in sample rate converters, and Smart Power Bridge technology.
The Connect Series Touch is PoE-powered for easy installation and can be used for individual zone or group control. Primary features include source selection, volume adjustment, and the ability to mute – all by zone or group. The controller features a colour touchscreen with a rotary knob and is available in black and white versions. It is fully configurable for groups or zones of up to 100 amplifier channels, providing ultimate control from one device, and can be easily configured using LEA’s WebUI software, providing ease of use and flexibility for configuring amplifiers in one centralised interface.
Also displayed at the booth will be Connect Series Half-Rack models. Each of the half-rack models (CS34, CS64, CS124, CS34D, CS64D, and CS124D) is built with fully routable analogue inputs, four amplifier channels with Low-Z, 70V, or 100V selectable by channel, while the D units also include Dante and AES67 connectivity. All models also boast three different ways of network connection: using the built-in Wi-Fi Access Point, connecting to an existing Wi-Fi network, or using a Local Area Network Ethernet connection.
“Each year, ISE presents the opportunity to directly connect with our customers and partners from around the world, and we’re looking forward to sharing our latest and greatest technology additions with them,” said Blake Augsburger, founder and CEO of LEA Professional. “Our Connect Series continues to prove itself each year through the additional offerings added, and guests at our booth will have the opportunity to experience the series' power in person.”
