The Lab Gruppen CA2402 2 x 240W Commercial Amplifier combines high-quality audio performance, energy efficiency, and user-friendly operation in a robust package.

With dual-zone capability and extensive remote control options, the CA2402 offers exceptional versatility and ease of integration for a variety of commercial applications.

Lab Gruppen CA2402 Key Features:

• Dual 240W Output Channels: The CA2402 offers two powerful 240-watt channels, ideal for delivering clear, robust sound across different zones. This makes it perfect for settings requiring separate audio configurations in distinct areas.

• Flexible Output Options: Supports both Low-Z (4/8 Ohm) and High-Z (70/100 V) loudspeaker configurations. The rear panel includes intuitive dipswitches for easy configuration of output settings and gain adjustments. An individual control engages the built-in high-pass filter, ensuring sound integrity and preventing saturation in transformer-enabled loudspeakers.

• Automatic Power On/Off: The CA2402 features a smart power management system that automatically powers the amplifier on or off based on input signal presence. If no signal is detected for 20 minutes, the system enters sleep mode to conserve energy. The Auto Ramp circuit quickly powers the system back on when a signal is detected, and the front panel power button allows for manual standby and activation.

• Sublimely Simple Controls: Intuitive front panel controls include a power button and master volume knob for easy access, enabling quick adjustments. Independent A/B volume, bass, and treble controls are available for each zone, with adjustments requiring a tool to ensure consistent settings.

• Easy to Connect: The CA2402 offers a standard 3-pin Euroblock input socket for balanced sources like mixers and audio processors. RCA connections are available for unbalanced stereo sources (summed to mono), such as players and computers. Ensure only one input source is used at a time. Loudspeaker output is provided through standard 2-pin Euroblock sockets for secure and reliable connections.

• Expandable Remote Control: Equipped with two RJ45 receptacles on the rear panel, the CA2402 allows for extensive remote control options, including the CRC-V Series wall controllers and the LAB.LEVEL tabletop controller. Each zone can be assigned its own remote controller for local volume control via affordable Ethernet cabling.

• System Scalability: As part of a family of products designed for scalability, the CA2402 offers dual-zone solutions to accommodate expanding installations. With individual zone volume and remote control capabilities, the CA2402 serves as a versatile building block for a dynamic audio system.

• Real-World Energy Savings: Featuring Auto Ramp and direct drive constant power technology, the CA2402 is Energy Star certified, providing significant energy savings and making it a cost-effective choice for any commercial setup.

• Robust Build Quality and Warranty: Manufactured in Lab Gruppen's state-of-the-art Music Tribe factory, the CA2402 boasts a low product failure rate thanks to enhanced production workflows and sophisticated quality assurance. This reliability is backed by a generous warranty program, ensuring peace of mind for users.
