Great Sound, Flexibility and Ease of Use

LAB GRUPPEN's pioneering LUCIA (Localized Utility Compact Intelligent Amplification) ushers in an era of superior audio excellence and unparalleled adaptability, transforming AV system design. It strategically places power, processing, control, and I/O precisely where they're needed, redefining the approach to decentralized setups. In numerous high-performance AV applications, LUCIA emerges as the logical, cost-effective, and scalable solution. Its decentralized design often eliminates the complexities and added expenses associated with centralized equipment rooms, simplifying the AV landscape. LUCIA amplifiers marry a digital, firmware-driven front end with LAB GRUPPEN's sturdy, highly efficient output stage, elevating it as the epitome of compact amplifier excellence. Its fusion of superior sound and unwavering reliability positions LUCIA as the unrivaled leader in its category, setting a new benchmark for compact amplifier performance and reliability.

Fits in Anywhere

The LUCIA 240/2 embodies a design crafted for more than mere installation—it's an engineering marvel tailored for swift setup and effortless integration. Its discreet wall-mount bracket conceals it behind video displays, yet its ultra-compact form ensures seamless placement virtually anywhere. Whether nestled beside a projector or seamlessly integrated into reception counters, podiums, lecterns, or the vibrant atmosphere of a bar area, its adaptability knows no bounds. Every connection point, meticulously designed with Euroblock screw terminals and parallel unbalanced RCA connectors, ensures seamless integration. Fine-tuning becomes an art with front-panel potentiometers for effortless level adjustments. The amplifier's advanced circuitry acts as a shield, safeguarding both the amplifier and connected loudspeakers from potential damage due to clipping, thermal overload, or extreme low line voltage, ensuring an uninterrupted audio experience.

Integrated Mix-Matrix and DSP Front End

The innovative LUCIA 240/2 integrates a digital front end showcasing a 2 x 2 Mix Matrix and an extensive suite of DSP capabilities. Among its prized features lie the proprietary Automatic Dynamic Loudness Contouring (ADLCTM) and a diverse array of EQ filters positioned before and after the matrix. These remarkable attributes nullify the necessity for external mixers and processors in numerous applications, streamlining setups and fostering savings in both time and expenditure. Facilitating a seamless setup journey, a software wizard expedites the process, while an advanced editor empowers offline configuration of prevalent presets. These customized configurations can swiftly traverse multiple units via USB, paving the way for unparalleled efficiency and ease in management and ensuring a streamlined audio experience.

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 20 minutes with no signal input, consuming less than 1 watt. Automatic power-up occurs within two seconds after an input signal is sensed.

Third Party Control

Once installed the LUCIA can be controlled and monitored either via GPIO or more extensively using the RS232 interface that is included. The protocol used is open and free for anyone to implement. The list of companies supporting it is growing.

Energy Star Qualified

By maintaining very low current draw during operating cycles even at high output levels, and reduced power consumption during non-operational cycles, our Energy Star-qualified products harness impeccable LAB GRUPPEN sonic performance and robust power output while meeting the rigorous efficiency requirements of current Energy Star certification standards.

ADLC for Great Sound, Everytime

Automatic Dynamic Loudness Contouring ensures a fuller and more comfortable listening experience – especially at low perceived levels. Based on industry-leading technology from TC ELECTRONIC, ADLC ensures that LUCIA makes the best of what comes into the system regardless of output gain (or “volume”).

Auto Load Sense

The groundbreaking Auto Load Sense technology within the LUCIA amplifier is a game-changer, capable of detecting impedance loads on each channel. This innovation self-configures for optimal performance, enabling it to deliver maximum power output across a range of loads from 2 to 8 ohms. This adaptability ensures that a single LUCIA amplifier can efficiently drive up to 16 loudspeakers (considering 16-ohm devices, accommodating 8 per channel). This remarkable feature revolutionizes the possibilities of amplification, offering unparalleled flexibility and efficiency in sound reinforcement setups.

Low Impedance Amplification

There are many advantages to Lo-Z audio systems compared to constant voltage ‘distributed systems’. LUCIA harnesses all of these to give you the best-sounding solution in the most cost-efficient package: Better sound, improved LF performance, saving cost on loudspeakers without transformers, and no need for long cable runs or conduit.
