System installers in search of a high-quality amplifier should check out the Lab.Gruppen LUCIA 120/2M, a compact, 2-channel 120W matrix amplifier for A/V installation applications. Localized Utility Compact Intelligent Amplification (LUCIA) offers advanced audio performance and 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 consistent performance, LUCIA offers a logical, cost-efficient, and scalable solution that often eliminates the complications and added expense of a centralized equipment room. The half-rack space enclosure provides fast and easy installation. The supplied wall-mount bracket allows for deployment in discrete locations, such as behind video displays or next to a projector or podium. The Lab.Gruppen LUCIA 120/2M includes Euroblock input and output screw terminals, a power cord, and mounting hardware.
