LAB GRUPPEN CA2402_US1 2 x 240W Commercial Amplifier with Energy Star Certification (CA2402_US1)
The CA2402, a dual-channel Commercial Amplifier boasting 2 x 240 Watts, emerges as the ultimate answer for commercial and industrial settings seeking exceptional distributed audio with a focus on energy efficiency and reduced operational costs. Its prowess lies in delivering impeccable sound across both Low-Z (4/8 Ohm) and High-Z (70/100 V) loudspeaker configurations, ensuring unparalleled flexibility for each channel. With effortless installation and user-friendly operation, the CA2402 caters to diverse environments, including bars & restaurants, retail spaces, hotels, corporate offices, educational institutions, and more, where background music or a reliable public address system is a necessity.
Energy Star Certified
The CA2402's direct drive constant power technology not only guarantees top-tier audio quality and dependability but also sets a new benchmark by consuming substantially less mains power compared to its counterparts, securing its coveted Energy Star certification. This remarkable technology empowers the creation of robust amplifier systems that not only trim down electricity expenses but also diminish installation requirements and costs related to the main supply. In fact, it's probable that installations can efficiently utilize the existing mains infrastructure, resulting in substantial savings both during setup and in ongoing operations while promoting environmental sustainability.
Easy to Install
The CA2402 arrives with rubber feet, granting the amplifiers the versatility to be positioned on desks, shelves, or any available surface without the need for extra installation measures. Additionally, it includes optional rack mounting hardware, facilitating the accommodation and safeguarding of one or multiple units within an enclosure. This versatility extends to various configurations—a single product fitting snugly in a half 19" rack or a full rack enclosure, while a pair of amplifiers can effortlessly align side by side within a single rack space. Moreover, utilizing the included brackets, the unit can be wall-mounted or positioned beneath a table or shelf, offering adaptable placement options to suit diverse preferences and spatial constraints.
Automatic Power On/Off
The CA2402 boasts a dynamic power setup that seamlessly initiates automatic power on/off based on incoming signals, effectively reducing consumption during signal absence. Requiring virtually no configuration, it enables the effortless establishment of an energy-efficient and user-friendly amplifier system for hands-free operation. In an energy-smart maneuver, if the CA2402 remains powered but detects no input signal for 20 minutes, it autonomously transitions into sleep mode, significantly curbing power usage. However, upon detection of a signal by the Auto Ramp circuit, the system swiftly powers up, restoring regular operation. Additionally, users have the option to instantly activate standby mode or awaken the amplifier using the front panel power button, granting convenient control over the system's status.
Sublimely Simple Controls
The controls on the CA2402 are designed for effortless navigation, ensuring swift adjustments for operators. With an easily accessible front panel power button and a conveniently placed Master volume knob, the system becomes user-friendly for virtually anyone. For more precise adjustments, Bass and Treble controls are available, although they do necessitate the use of a tool when making changes.
Easy to Hook Up
For connecting a balanced source such as a mixer or audio processor, a standard 3-pin Euroblock Input socket is provided. Alternatively, RCA cables can be connected for unbalanced stereo sources (summed to mono), such as players, phones, or computers, however only one input source should be used at a time. Loudspeaker Output is provided in the form of a standard 2-pin Euroblock socket.
Output Configuration
The CA2402 offers an intuitive setup for its versatile output channels, conveniently positioned next to the rear panel Euroblock output connector. Using dipswitches, users can effortlessly select between 100 V, 70 V, 8 Ω, or 4 Ω operation, configuring both the maximum output voltage and the device's gain. Additionally, individual control is dedicated to activating the built-in high-pass filter, a crucial feature recommended for constant voltage systems. This filter plays a vital role in preventing saturation in transformer-enabled loudspeakers, ensuring sound integrity is maintained at all times.
Expandable Remote Control
The RJ45 receptacle located on the rear panel extends a wide array of remote control possibilities, facilitating compatibility with various options such as the CRC-V Series wall controllers and the sleek LAB.LEVEL tabletop controller. These devices seamlessly interconnect using cost-effective and easily accessible Ethernet cabling, providing a versatile and interconnected control network for the amplifier.
System Scalability
Commercial installations exhibit a diverse range and frequently evolve and expand gradually. Within this spectrum lies the CA2402, part of a product family offering both single and dual-zone options, perfectly suited for system expansion to any scale. Featuring individual zone volume control and remote control capabilities, the CA2402 stands as a prime foundational component for constructing a dynamic and scalable system solution.
Real-World Energy Savings
Incorporating the CA2402 2 X 240 Watt Commercial Amplifier effortlessly delivers top-tier music and announcements to business and industrial settings. Its seamless integration and user-friendly operation are complemented by features like Auto Ramp and groundbreaking direct drive constant power technology. As an Energy Star-certified unit, the CA2402 not only ensures superior performance but also boasts remarkable energy-saving capabilities, potentially offsetting its own cost in a remarkably short span of time.
