Lab Gruppen CA1201 Key Features:

• Flexible Output Options: The CA1201 supports both Low-Z (4/8 Ohm) and High-Z (70/100 V) loudspeaker configurations. The intuitive dipswitches adjacent to the rear panel Euroblock output connector allow easy selection of output settings and gain adjustment, while an individual control engages the built-in high-pass filter to maintain sound integrity.

• Automatic Power On/Off: Featuring a flexible power scheme, the CA1201 automatically powers on/off based on input signal presence. If no signal is detected for 20 minutes, the system enters sleep mode, significantly reducing power consumption. The Auto Ramp circuit instantly powers the system back on upon detecting a signal, ensuring seamless operation. The front panel power button also allows for manual standby and activation.

• Sublimely Simple Controls: The CA1201's intuitive front panel features a power button and master volume knob for easy access, allowing quick adjustments by virtually anyone. Bass and treble controls are available for fine-tuning and require a tool for changes, ensuring consistent settings.

• Easy to Hook Up: Connecting audio sources is straightforward with the standard 3-pin Euroblock input socket for balanced sources like mixers or audio processors. For unbalanced stereo sources such as players, phones, or computers, RCA connections are available, summed to mono for compatibility. The system should use only one input source at a time, and a standard 2-pin Euroblock socket is provided for loudspeaker output.

• Expandable Remote Control: The RJ45 receptacle on the rear panel allows for extensive remote control options, including the CRC-V Series wall controllers and the stylish LAB.LEVEL tabletop controller. These can be interconnected using affordable and readily available Ethernet cabling, providing versatile control possibilities.

• System Scalability: The CA1201 is part of a family of products designed for scalability, offering both single and dual-zone solutions to accommodate growing and changing installations. With individual zone volume and remote control capabilities, the CA1201 serves as a flexible building block for a dynamic audio system.

• Real-World Energy Savings: With features like Auto Ramp and direct drive constant power technology, the CA1201 is Energy Star certified and capable of delivering significant energy savings, making it a cost-effective choice that can pay for itself in virtually no time.

• Robust Build Quality and Warranty: Manufactured in Lab Gruppen's state-of-the-art Music Tribe factory, the CA1201 boasts a low product failure rate due to enhanced production workflows and sophisticated quality assurance. This reliability is backed by a generous warranty program, ensuring peace of mind for users.
