LAB GRUPPEN CA601_US1 60W Commercial Amplifier with Energy Star Certification (CA601)

The CA601 60-Watt Commercial Amplifier offers an ideal solution for commercial and industrial settings seeking exceptional distributed audio with a focus on power efficiency and minimized operational costs. Its versatility spans across Low-Z (4/8 Ohm) and High-Z (70/100 V) loudspeaker configurations, providing unmatched flexibility for every channel. Installation and operation remain hassle-free, catering to both technical and non-technical users alike. In essence, the CA601 stands as an excellent fit for various venues such as bars, restaurants, retail spaces, hotels, corporate offices, educational institutions, or any location requiring background music or a reliable public address system.

Energy Star * Certified

The CA601's direct drive constant power technology not only ensures top-notch audio quality and dependability but also stands out by consuming notably less mains power compared to its counterparts, securing its prestigious Energy Star certification. This groundbreaking technology empowers the creation of robust amplifier systems that not only trim down electricity expenses but also cut installation requirements and costs associated with the main supply. In fact, leveraging the existing mains infrastructure for installation becomes a feasible and likely scenario, leading to substantial savings during setup and operation while also contributing to environmental conservation.

Easy to Install

The CA601 arrives with rubber feet, providing the flexibility to place the amplifiers on desks, shelves, or any available surface without requiring additional installation measures. Additionally, it includes optional rack mounting hardware, facilitating the housing and protection of one or multiple models within an enclosure. This adaptability 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. Furthermore, utilizing the included brackets, the unit can be wall-mounted or positioned beneath a table or shelf, offering versatile placement options to suit diverse preferences and spatial constraints.

Automatic Power On/Off

The CA601 implements an adaptive power mechanism that instinctively turns on/off in response to the input signal, minimizing consumption during signal absence. Requiring minimal setup, it enables the creation of an energy-efficient and user-friendly amplifier system for effortless operation. In an energy-conscious approach, if the CA601 remains powered but lacks an input signal for 20 minutes, it seamlessly shifts into sleep mode, significantly cutting down power usage. Once the Auto Ramp circuit detects a signal, the system promptly powers on, restoring normal operation. Moreover, users have the option to instantly activate standby mode or awaken the amplifier using the front panel power button, providing convenient control over the system's status.

Sublimely Simple Controls

The CA601 boasts intuitively designed controls, facilitating swift adjustments for operators. Its easily accessible front panel power button and Master volume knob ensure effortless system operation, suitable for virtually anyone. Additionally, Bass and Treble controls are provided for precise tuning, albeit requiring a tool for adjustments.

Easy to Hook Up

To link a balanced source like a mixer or audio processor, the CA601 offers a standard 3-pin Euroblock Input socket. Alternatively, for unbalanced stereo sources (summed to mono) like players, phones, or computers, RCA cables can be connected. However, it's important to note that only one input source should be utilized at a time. For Loudspeaker Output, the CA601 features a standard 2-pin Euroblock socket.

Output Configuration

The CA601 offers an intuitive setup for its versatile output channels, conveniently located adjacent 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 gain through the device. 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 and maintaining sound integrity.

Expandable Remote Control

The RJ45 receptacle on the rear panel provides extensive remote control possibilities, allowing compatibility with various options such as the CRC-V Series of wall controllers and the sleek LAB.LEVEL tabletop controller. These devices seamlessly interconnect using cost-effective and easily accessible Ethernet cabling, creating a versatile and interconnected control network for the amplifier.

System Scalability

Commercial installations exhibit a diverse range and often evolve gradually. Within this spectrum lies the CA601, a part of a product family offering both single and dual-zone options, perfectly suited for expanding systems to any scale. Featuring individual zone volume control and remote control capabilities, the CA601 emerges as an ideal foundational component for constructing a dynamic and adaptable system solution.

Real-World Energy Savings

The CA601 60-watt Commercial Amplifier simplifies the delivery of top-tier music and announcements to commercial 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 CA601 not only ensures top-notch performance but also boasts impressive energy-saving capabilities, potentially offsetting its own cost in an incredibly short span of time.
