Lab Gruppen LUCIA 240/1-70 Compact Mono 240-watt Amplifier

Great Sound, Flexibility and Ease of Use​

LAB GRUPPEN's innovative LUCIA (Localized Utility Compact Intelligent Amplification) brings superior audio performance and extraordinary flexibility to a decentralized approach in AV systems design. Power, processing, control and I/O are conveniently placed exactly where they are needed. In many AV applications requiring consistently outstanding performance, LUCIA offers a logical, cost-efficient and scalable solution that often eliminates the complications and added expense of a centralized equipment room. LUCIA amplifiers incorporate a digital, firmware-controlled front end coupled to a robust, durable and highly efficient LAB GRUPPEN output stage, all of which make LUCIA the best-sounding and most reliable compact amplifier in its category.

Fits in Anywhere​

LUCIA 240/1-70 has been designed and engineered for quick installation and easy setup. The supplied wall-mount bracket enables discreet on-wall location (such as behind video displays), but the ultra-compact form factor also allows easy placement virtually anyplace – whether next to a projector or integrated into a reception counter, podium & lectern or bar area. All input and output connections are on Euroblock screw terminals (with parallel unbalanced RCA connectors), and level setting is available on front-panel potentiometers. Advanced circuitry protects the amplifier and connected loudspeakers from potential damage caused by clipping, thermal overload, or extreme low line voltage.

Integrated DSP for Enhanced Flexibility

All LUCIA models incorporate comprehensive DSP features, including look-ahead limiter and flexible equalization which often eliminate the need for external mixers and processors in many applications - saving time and money. A software wizard facilitates fast set-up via USB, a feature that can reuse previous set-up files.

Green Credentials

LUCIA amplifiers are ENERGY STAR qualified making them an ideal choice for installation in projects seeking energy efficient certifications. The amplifiers automatically enter standby mode after a 20 minute period with no signal input, consuming less than 1 watt. Automatic power-up occurs within two seconds after an input signal is sensed.
