The Lab.Gruppen CA601 is a compact, 1-channel 60W amplifier for commercial and industrial applications requiring distributed audio coupled with power conservation and reduced operating expenses well suited for bars, restaurants, retail, hotels, corporate, education, or other venues needing background music and/or a public-address system.

The amplifier delivers high-quality sound over both Low-Z (4/8 Ohms) and High-Z (70/100V) loudspeaker configurations offering extreme flexibility. The CA601 provides control over volume and offers bass and treble controls for fine tuning your sound. Intuitive configuration of the flexible output channels is provided directly adjacent to the rear-panel Euroblock output connector with DIP switches, which allow selection of 100 V, 70 V, 8 ohms, or 4 ohms operation. This configures both the maximum voltage of the output and the gain through the device. An individual control engages the built-in high-pass filter, which should be used on all constant voltage systems to avoid saturation on transformer-enabled loudspeakers and to help maintain sound integrity. An RJ45 receptacle on the rear panel opens a broad range of remote control options, including the optional CRC-V Series of wall controllers and a stylish tabletop controller, the LAB.LEVEL. All can be interconnected via inexpensive and readily available Ethernet cabling.

The CA601 comes equipped with rubber feet, enabling the amp to be placed on a desk, shelf, or any clear surface without any additional installation requirements. However, optional rack-mounting hardware is also supplied, allowing one or several models to be housed and protected inside an enclosure. This adds extensive flexibility as a single product can be housed in a half 19" rack or full-rack enclosure as well as a pair of amplifiers can easily be mounted side by side in a single-rack space. With the included brackets, the unit can also be mounted to a wall or under a table/shelf.
