The Lab Gruppen CA1202 2 x 120W 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 CA1202 offers exceptional versatility and ease of integration for a variety of commercial applications.

Lab Gruppen CA1202 Key Features:

• Dual-Zone Output Flexibility: The CA1202 features two zonal outputs with independent A/B volume, bass, and treble controls, allowing precise audio customization for different areas. This makes it ideal for spaces requiring distinct audio settings across separate zones.

• Flexible Output Options: 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 connectors enable easy selection of output settings and gain adjustment. An individual control engages the built-in high-pass filter to maintain sound integrity.

• Automatic Power On/Off: With a flexible power scheme, the CA1202 automatically powers on/off based on input signal presence, reducing power consumption when no signal is detected for 20 minutes. The Auto Ramp circuit instantly powers the system back on upon detecting a signal, ensuring seamless operation. The front panel power button allows 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. Bass and treble controls require a tool for changes, ensuring consistent settings.

• Easy to Hook Up: Connect balanced sources like mixers or audio processors using the standard 3-pin Euroblock input socket. RCA connections are available for unbalanced stereo sources (summed to mono), such as players, phones, or computers. Ensure only one input source is used at a time. Loudspeaker output is provided via standard 2-pin Euroblock sockets.

• Expandable Remote Control: Equipped with two RJ45 receptacles on the rear panel for remote control options, allowing the use of 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: Part of a family of products designed for scalability, the CA1202 offers dual-zone solutions to accommodate expanding installations. With individual zone volume and remote control capabilities, the CA1202 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 CA1202 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 CA1202 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.
