Lab Gruppen CA2401 1 x 240W Commercial Amplifier with Energy Star Certification

DETAILS

The Lab Gruppen CA2401 is a high-performance commercial amplifier designed to deliver powerful and reliable audio in a variety of professional settings.

With 240 watts of output power, this amplifier is ideal for demanding environments such as large retail spaces, concert venues, hotels, and conference centers where robust sound and energy efficiency are crucial.

The Lab Gruppen CA2401 1 x 240W Commercial Amplifier delivers powerful, high-quality audio with exceptional energy efficiency and ease of use. Its flexibility, automatic power management, and scalable design make it an ideal choice for large-scale commercial audio systems.

Lab Gruppen CA2401 Key Features:

• High Output Power: The CA2401 provides 240 watts of robust audio power, making it suitable for larger venues and more demanding audio applications. Whether you need clear background music or a strong public address system, the CA2401 meets your needs with ease.

• Flexible Output Options: This amplifier supports both Low-Z (4/8 Ohm) and High-Z (70/100 V) loudspeaker configurations. It features intuitive dipswitches adjacent to the rear panel Euroblock output connectors for easy configuration of output settings and gain adjustments. An individual control for the built-in high-pass filter ensures sound integrity and prevents saturation in transformer-enabled loudspeakers.

• Automatic Power On/Off: The CA2401 incorporates a smart power management system that automatically powers the amplifier on or off based on the presence of an input signal. If no signal is detected for 20 minutes, the amplifier enters sleep mode to conserve energy. The Auto Ramp circuitry 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: The front panel features an easily accessible power button and master volume knob, making operation straightforward for users. Bass and treble controls are also available for fine-tuning, though they require a tool for adjustment to ensure consistent settings.

• Easy to Connect: The CA2401 offers a standard 3-pin Euroblock input socket for balanced sources like mixers and audio processors. RCA connections are available for unbalanced stereo sources, such as players and computers (summed to mono). Loudspeaker output is provided through standard 2-pin Euroblock sockets, ensuring secure and reliable connections.

• Expandable Remote Control: The rear panel features an RJ45 receptacle for connecting remote control options, including the CRC-V Series wall controllers and the LAB.LEVEL tabletop controller. This allows for flexible remote volume control and integration into various control systems.

• System Scalability: Part of a versatile family of products, the CA2401 supports scalability in commercial installations. It is compatible with other Lab Gruppen products to create dynamic and expandable audio systems, with individual zone volume and remote control capabilities.

• Real-World Energy Savings: The CA2401’s Energy Star certification highlights its efficiency, with features like Auto Ramp and direct drive constant power technology contributing to significant energy savings. This makes it a cost-effective choice that can quickly pay for itself through reduced operational costs.

• Robust Build Quality and Warranty: Manufactured in Lab Gruppen's advanced Music Tribe factory, the CA2401 benefits from high-quality production processes and rigorous quality assurance. It comes with a generous warranty program, ensuring reliable performance and peace of mind for users.
