The Lab Gruppen LUCIA 120/2 is a decentralized, 2-channel compact amplifier designed for high-quality AV installations. It delivers 120W of total output (2 x 60W) and is engineered to be hidden near loudspeakers—such as behind video displays or under podiums—eliminating the need for centralized equipment rooms.
Audio Performance & DSP
This amplifier incorporates advanced digital processing “Localized Utility Compact Intelligent Amplification” (LUCIA) to optimize sound in diverse environments:
- Constant Power Output: It delivers a consistent 2 x 60W into 2, 4, or 8 ohms, and 30W into 16 ohms.
- Integrated DSP: Features include a multi-band compressor, look-ahead limiter, and Automatic Dynamic Loudness Contouring (ADLC), which optimizes performance across all output levels.
- Auto Load Sense: Automatically configures its internal Voltage Peak Limiter (VPL) to match the connected load for maximum efficiency.
- Firmware Control: A software wizard (Windows/Mac) allows for easy initial setup and advanced preset configuration via a front-panel USB port.
Connectivity & Installation
- Input/Output: Features Euroblock (Phoenix) screw terminals for professional installation and parallel unbalanced RCA inputs for quick source connection.
- Form Factor: The half-rack, 1U high enclosure is extremely compact, weighing only 1.9 kg (4.2 lbs).
- Mounting: Each unit comes with a dedicated wall-mount bracket for discreet placement.
- Energy Efficiency: It is Energy Star certified, consuming less than 1W in standby mode and powering up within two seconds of detecting an audio signal.
