LAB GRUPPEN CA602_US1 2 x 60W Commercial Amplifier with Energy Star Certification (CA602)

The CA602 2 x 60-Watt Commercial Amplifier offers an ideal solution for commercial and industrial settings seeking exceptional distributed audio alongside power efficiency and reduced operational costs. Featuring 2 independent audio channels, the CA602 facilitates amplification for 2 separate zones. Its versatility spans across both Low-Z (4/8 Ohm) and High-Z (70/100 V) loudspeaker configurations, ensuring unparalleled flexibility for each channel. Installation and operation remain hassle-free, catering to both technical and non-technical users alike. In essence, the CA602 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 CA602's direct drive constant power technology doesn't just ensure top-notch audio performance and reliability; it also stands out for consuming notably less mains power compared to competing models, earning it the prestigious Energy Star certification. This innovative technology empowers the creation of robust amplifier systems that not only slash electricity expenses but also lower installation requirements and costs related to the main supply. In fact, leveraging the existing mains infrastructure for installation becomes a feasible and likely scenario, resulting in substantial savings during setup and operation while also contributing to environmental preservation.

Easy to Install

The CA602 arrives with rubber feet, offering 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, using the included brackets, the unit can be wall-mounted or positioned beneath a table or shelf, providing versatile placement options to suit diverse preferences and spatial constraints.

Automatic Power On/Off

The CA602 offers a flexible power setup that intelligently triggers automatic power on/off in response to the input signal, effectively minimizing consumption during signal absence. Requiring minimal configuration, it simplifies the setup of an energy-efficient and user-friendly amplifier system for hassle-free operation. In an energy-conscious approach, if the CA602 remains powered but lacks an input signal for 20 minutes, it seamlessly transitions into sleep mode, significantly reducing 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 controls on the CA602 are designed for effortless adjustment, allowing operators to swiftly make changes. The easily accessible front panel power button and Master volume knobs ensure straightforward operation, suitable for virtually anyone. Additionally, Bass and Treble controls are provided for precise tuning, although adjustments require the use of a tool.

Easy to Hook Up

The CA602 offers versatile connectivity options. To link a balanced source like a mixer or audio processor, a standard 3-pin Euroblock Input socket is provided. Alternatively, for unbalanced stereo sources (summed to mono) like players, phones, or computers, RCA cables can be connected. It's important to note that only one input source should be utilized at a time. For Loudspeaker Output, the CA602 features a standard 4-pin Euroblock socket.

Output Configuration

The CA602 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 CA602 offers a diverse array of remote control possibilities through its RJ45 receptacle per channel on the rear panel. This feature allows for various remote control options, including compatibility with 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, providing a versatile and interconnected control network for the amplifier.

System Scalability

Commercial installations can vary significantly in scale and evolution over time. The CA602, as part of a product line offering single and dual-zone solutions, serves as an ideal choice for expanding systems of any magnitude. Featuring individual zone volume control and remote control capabilities, the CA602 stands as a cornerstone for constructing a versatile, adaptable, and scalable system solution.

Real-World Energy Savings

The CA602 2 x 60-Watt Commercial Amplifier simplifies the delivery of top-notch music and announcements to commercial and industrial settings. Its seamless integration and user-friendly operation are complemented by features like Auto Ramp and revolutionary direct drive constant power technology. As an Energy Star-certified unit, the CA602 not only ensures superior performance but also boasts impressive energy-saving capabilities, potentially offsetting its own cost in an incredibly short span of time.
