Lab Gruppen CA601 1 x 60W Commercial Amplifier with Energy Star Certification

DETAILS

The Lab Gruppen CA601 is a compact and efficient commercial amplifier designed for smaller environments that require reliable audio performance with energy efficiency.

The Lab Gruppen CA601 1 x 60W Commercial Amplifier combines efficient audio performance, energy savings, and user-friendly operation in a compact package. Perfect for smaller venues, the CA601 offers reliable sound with the flexibility and scalability to meet various audio needs.

Delivering 60 watts of power, the CA601 is perfect for background music and public address systems in settings such as small retail spaces, cafes, offices, and classrooms.

Lab Gruppen CA601 Key Features:

• 60W Output Power: The CA601 delivers 60 watts of clear and robust audio, making it ideal for smaller venues that need dependable sound quality without excessive power consumption.

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

• Automatic Power On/Off: The CA601 includes 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 powers the system back on upon detecting a signal, and the front panel power button allows for manual standby and activation.

• Sublimely Simple Controls: The front panel provides easy access to the power button and master volume knob, making operation straightforward for users. Bass and treble controls are available for fine-tuning and require a tool for adjustments to ensure consistent settings.

• Easy to Connect: The CA601 offers a standard 3-pin Euroblock input socket for balanced sources such as mixers and audio processors. RCA connections are available for unbalanced stereo sources (summed to mono), such as players and computers. Loudspeaker output is provided through standard 2-pin Euroblock sockets, ensuring secure and reliable connections.

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

• System Scalability: As part of Lab Gruppen’s versatile family of products, the CA601 can be easily integrated into larger systems or used as a standalone solution for smaller installations. Its scalability allows for future expansion as needed.

• Real-World Energy Savings: With Energy Star certification, the CA601 features Auto Ramp and direct drive constant power technology to deliver significant energy savings, making it a cost-effective choice that helps reduce operational costs over time.

• Robust Build Quality and Warranty: Manufactured in Lab Gruppen's advanced Music Tribe factory, the CA601 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.
