overview

LUCIA 120/2M incorporates 60 W of decentralized power in a compact, EnergyStar compliant amplifier with ingenious DSP, advanced limiter design and ease of install

LUCIA 120/2M has been designed and engineered with quick install and very easy setup in mind. Each unit comes supplied with a wall-mount bracket allowing for discreet on-wall location (such as behind video displays) but can also be located close to wherever it needs to be in the room – such as next to projector or integrated into a reception counter, podium & lectern or bar area. All connections are via Euroblock screw terminals (also RCA phono inputs shared with channel 1 and 2), 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. 

The versatile 4 x 4 Mix Matrix and comprehensive DSP features including Automatic Dynamic Loudness Contouring (ADLCTM), eliminate the need for external mixers and processors in many applications, saving time and money. A software wizard facilitates fast setup, while the advanced editor allows offline configuration of common presets that can be quickly downloaded to multiple units via USB.

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 consistent, high quality audio output, LUCIA offers a logical, costefficient and scalable solution that eliminates the complications and added expense of a centralized equipment room for amplification, matrixing and processing. All 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 it the best sounding compact amplifier in its category. 

LUCIA amplifiers install quickly and easily, with the supplied wall-mount bracket enabling discreet on-wall placement behind video displays. All connections are via Euroblock screw terminals, and level setting is available on front-panel potentiometers. An advanced protection scheme protects the amplifier and connected loudspeakers from potential damage caused by clipping, thermal overload, or extreme low line voltage. 

Integrated mix-matrix and DSP 

A versatile 4 x 4 mix-matrix and comprehensive DSP features eliminate the need for external mixers and processors in many applications, saving time and money. A software wizard facilitates fast set-up, while the PC editor allows offline configuration of common presets that can be quickly downloaded to multiple units via USB. 

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.
