LEA Professional announces the launch of its Connect Series Half-Rack amplifier models. Awarded "Best of Show" at ISE 2024 earlier this month, these smaller form factor, half-rack smart amplifiers deliver one of the most feature-rich experiences available in the industry, the company says, featuring onboard DSP, WebUI, Cloud Connectivity, third-party API control, and more.

Each of the new half-rack models (CS34, CS64, CS124, CS34D, CS64D, and CS124D) are built with fully-routable analog inputs, 4 amplifier channels with Low-Z, 70V, or 100V selectable by channel and the D units include Dante and AES67 connectivity. All models also boast three different ways of network connection: using the built-in Wi-Fi Access Point, connecting to an existing Wi-Fi network, or using a Local Area Network Ethernet connection.

The half-rack models join LEA Professionals' extensive technology catalog, featuring smart power, industry-leading DSP, and intelligible IT solutions. These offerings and more equate to The LEA Advantage. Always resolute in this approach, while prioritizing exceptional customer service, based on intrinsic company values, the company says.

"With the significant adoption rate of Connect Series amplifiers, commercial, corporate, marine and residential integrators wanted a product that delivered the same punch while taking up less space," says Brian Pickowitz, vice president of marketing at LEA Professional. "Our half-rack solutions can be installed anywhere and are perfectly suited for small to medium-scale installations."
