LAB GRUPPEN LUCIA 120/2_US1 Compact 2 x 60W Amplifier for Installation Applications (LUCIA 120/2_US1)

LUCIA 120/2 Incorporates Ease of Install with 2 X 60 W of Decentralized Power in a Compact Energy Star Compliant Amplifier.

Great Sound, Flexibility and Ease of Use

Introducing Lab Gruppen's groundbreaking LUCIA (Localized Utility Compact Intelligent Amplification), a game-changer delivering unparalleled audio prowess and unparalleled adaptability through a decentralized approach in AV systems design. This innovation strategically places power, processing, control, and I/O precisely where they matter most. In the realm of AV applications demanding unwavering excellence, LUCIA emerges as the smart, cost-effective, and scalable solution, often obviating the complexities and added costs of a centralized equipment hub. Seamlessly blending a digital, firmware-driven front end with Lab Gruppen's sturdy, efficient output stage, LUCIA stands as the epitome of compact amplifiers, boasting not just superior sound quality but also unmatched reliability within its category.

Fits in Anywhere

The LUCIA 120/2 is more than a creation—it's a masterpiece meticulously crafted for swift installation and effortless setup. Its supplied wall-mount bracket discreetly conceals it behind video displays, yet its ultra-compact design ensures seamless placement almost anywhere. Whether nestled beside a projector or seamlessly integrated into reception counters, podiums, lecterns, or the vibrant ambiance of a bar area, its flexibility knows no bounds. Every connection point, meticulously designed on Euroblock screw terminals with parallel unbalanced RCA connectors, ensures seamless integration. Fine-tuning becomes an art with front-panel potentiometers for level adjustments. The amplifier's advanced circuitry stands guard, shielding both the amplifier and connected loudspeakers from potential damage due to clipping, thermal overload, or extremely low line voltage, ensuring a pristine audio experience.

Integrated Mix-Matrix and DSP Front End

The LUCIA 120/2 incorporates a digital front end with a 2 x 2 Mix Matrix and comprehensive DSP features, including proprietary Automatic Dynamic Loudness Contouring (ADLCTM) and a full selection of EQ filters both before and after the matrix – features that eliminate the need for external mixers and processors in many applications, saving time and money. A software wizard facilitates fast setup, while the advanced editor allows offline configuration of common presets that can be quickly downloaded to multiple units via USB.

Green Credentials

LUCIA amplifiers proudly wear the Energy Star badge, marking them as the go-to option for projects aiming for energy-efficient certifications. These amplifiers demonstrate their eco-smart credentials by seamlessly slipping into standby mode, sipping less than a single watt of power after 20 minutes of silence, preserving energy without compromising readiness. Their responsiveness shines as they swiftly power up within two seconds upon detecting an incoming signal, ensuring prompt readiness and efficiency when needed. This blend of energy efficiency and responsiveness makes them an optimal choice for environmentally conscious installations without sacrificing performance.

ADLC for Great Sound, every time.

Automatic Dynamic Loudness Contouring ensures a fuller and more comfortable listening experience – especially at low perceived levels. Based on industry-leading technology from TC Electronic, ADLC ensures that LUCIA delivers optimum reproduction of the source signal regardless of output gain (or “volume”).

Third-Party Control

Once installed the LUCIA can be controlled and monitored either via GPIO or more extensively using the RS232 interface that is included. The protocol used is open and free for anyone to implement. The list of companies supporting it is growing.

Energy Star Qualified

By maintaining very low current draw during operating cycles even at high output levels, and reduced power consumption during non-operational cycles, our Energy Star-qualified products harness impeccable Lab Gruppen sonic performance and robust power output while meeting the rigorous efficiency requirements of current Energy Star certification standards.

Auto Load Sense

Introducing the groundbreaking Auto Load Sense technology, a pioneering feature within LUCIA amplifiers that revolutionizes performance. This innovation possesses the remarkable ability to detect impedance load on each channel, seamlessly adapting to ensure an optimal performance configuration. This adaptive nature allows the amplifier to deliver peak power output across a diverse range of loads, spanning from 2 to 8 ohms. In essence, a single LUCIA amplifier becomes a powerhouse, effectively driving up to 16 loudspeakers (with 16-ohm devices, accommodating 8 per channel) without compromising on performance or quality. This innovative capability redefines the possibilities of amplification, offering unparalleled efficiency and versatility in sound reinforcement.

Low Impedance Amplification

There are many advantages to Lo-Z audio systems compared to constant voltage ‘distributed systems’. LUCIA harnesses all of these to give you the best-sounding solution in the most cost-efficient package: Better sound, improved LF performance, saving cost on loudspeakers without transformers, and no need for long cable runs or conduit.
