Lab.gruppen has announced three additions to its Lucia line of power amplifiers – the Lucia 60/2M, Lucia 60/2 and Lucia 60/1-70. All are available with either 4-input/4-output matrix-mixer (Lucia 60/2M), 2-input/2-output configuration (Lucia 60/2) or 2-input/1-output configurations for the 70V model (Lucia 60/1-70); and all have configurable DSP features, as their equivalent larger models.
Lucia’s ultra-compact form factor (a half-rack 1U-high chassis) allows it to be tucked away inconspicuously wherever needed. Lucia mounts behind video screens using the included wall bracket, tucks away in rack shelves or drawers, or attaches to the optional pole mount or rackmount.
Central to Lucia’s cost efficiencies is its Energy Star certification. After 20 minutes of no signal input, the amplifiers’ automatically enter standby mode and power up within one second when signal returns. Additionally Lucia incorporate intelligent fan control where it provides silent operation in idle and lower output levels.
‘Lucia has an exceptionally small footprint and multiple mounting options and its input flexibility provides installers with an absolutely reliable and highly-cost effective solution’ says Lab.gruppen Product Engineering Manager, Håkan Gustafsson. ‘To further increase cost efficiencies we have introduced new 60W power models, which reduces the initial system investment by 30% while delivering all the same features as the alternative models.’
With the release of the Lucia 60W models, Lab.gruppen is providing a new version (v1.5.0) of its free Application Browser software, which will support all nine Lucia models. A new tabletop level control is also now available for the entire Lucia range, Lab Level.
