LAB GRUPPEN CA2401_US1 240W Commercial Amplifier with Energy Star Certification (CA2401_US1)

Commercial Install Series CA2401

The CA2401: a 240-watt Commercial Amplifier is tailored for commercial and industrial needs, offering exceptional distributed audio performance while prioritizing power efficiency and cost reduction. It caters to both Low-Z (4/8 Ohm) and High-Z (70/100 V) loudspeaker setups, ensuring unparalleled versatility across each channel. The CA2401 is effortlessly installed and operated, catering even to non-technical users. Simply put, it's a perfect fit for establishments like bars, restaurants, retail spaces, hotels, corporate venues, educational facilities, or any location requiring background music and/or a public address system.

Energy Star Certified

CA2401's direct drive constant power technology not only ensures top-tier audio performance and reliability but also boasts superior energy efficiency, earning it Energy Star certification. This groundbreaking technology enables the creation of potent amplifier systems that not only cut down on electricity expenses but also reduce installation requirements and costs for the main supply. In many cases, existing mains infrastructure can be utilized for installation, resulting in substantial savings both during installation and ongoing operation, all while contributing to environmental preservation.

Easy to Install

The CA2401 offers versatility in placement options. It features rubber feet, allowing placement on desks, shelves, or any flat surface without the need for extra installation. Additionally, it comes with optional rack mounting hardware, providing the flexibility to house one or multiple units in various enclosures. This allows for placement in half or full-rack enclosures or side-by-side mounting in a single rack space. The included brackets enable wall mounting or placement under a table or shelf.

Automatic Power On/Off

The CA2401 incorporates a flexible power system that automatically turns on or off based on the input signal, minimizing consumption during signal absence. Setting up an energy-efficient amplifier system is effortless, requiring minimal configuration. If the CA2401 remains powered on without receiving an input signal for 20 minutes, it enters sleep mode to reduce power usage. Once the Auto Ramp circuit detects a signal, the system resumes normal operation. Additionally, the amplifier can be instantly placed in standby mode or activated using the front panel power button.

Sublimely Simple Controls

The controls on the CA2401 are exceptionally intuitive, enabling swift adjustments by the operator. Accessible front panel features, like the power button and Master volume knob, make the system user-friendly for virtually anyone. While Bass and Treble controls are available for precise tuning, adjustments for these settings require a tool.

Easy to Hook Up

To link a balanced source like a mixer or audio processor, the CA2401 offers a standard 3-pin Euroblock Input socket. Alternatively, for unbalanced stereo sources like players, phones, or computers (summed to mono), RCA cables can be connected, but only one input source should be used at a time. The Loudspeaker Output is available via a standard 2-pin Euroblock socket.

Output Configuration

Flexible output configuration is conveniently located beside the rear panel Euroblock output connector, employing dipswitches that offer a choice between 100 V, 70 V, 8 Ω, or 4 Ω operations. These switches determine both the maximum voltage of the output and the gain throughout the device. Additionally, an individual control activates the built-in high-pass filter, a crucial element for constant voltage systems, preventing saturation in transformer-enabled loudspeakers and ensuring sound integrity.

Expandable Remote Control

The RJ45 receptacle on the rear panel opens up a broad range of remote control options, including the CRC-V Series of wall controllers and a stylish tabletop controller, the LAB.LEVEL. All can be interconnected via inexpensive and readily available Ethernet cabling.

System Scalability

The landscape of commercial installations spans a vast spectrum, often evolving and expanding gradually. Within this realm lies the CA2401, a member of a versatile product line designed to accommodate single and dual-zone needs, fitting seamlessly into systems of any scale. Boasting individual zone volume control and remote operation features, the CA2401 emerges as a pivotal element, offering a foundation for a flexible, adaptable, and expandable system solution.

Real-World Energy Savings

Effortlessly delivering top-notch music and announcements to business and industrial settings, the CA2401 240Watt Commercial Amplifier simplifies integration and operation within any setup. Packed with innovations like Auto Ramp and groundbreaking direct drive constant power technology, this Energy Star-certified amplifier not only ensures superior performance but also offers remarkable energy efficiency. Its cost-saving potential enables the CA2401 to practically pay for itself in a blink, making it a smart investment for any environment.
