LEA Professional announces availability of IoT-enabled amplifiers

Pro audio amplifier innovator LEA Professional is shipping its Connect Series 1504. The four-channel 1504 model drives up to 1,500W per channel (into two, four and eight in addition to 70V and 100V RMS) and is available in network connect (1504) and Dante connect versions (1504D). The 1504 and 1504D include advanced DSP that includes linear phase FIR filters and up to 4s of delay. Enhancing flexibility, the Smart Power Bridge feature consists of two Smart Power Bridge channels for transforming the amplifier into a dual 3,000W model. Network connection can be made through the integrated Wi-Fi access point, by connecting to an existing Wi-Fi network or by utilising an LAN Ethernet connection.

Providing secure remote monitoring and control capabilities allowing SIs to work remotely, the Connect Series models boast built-in Amazon Web Services (AWS) IoT Core via the LEA Cloud Unique. Furthermore, the Connect Series has access to the LEA Professional web UI providing a clear status check of every amplifier connected to the network and a status of every channel on any given amplifier to monitor channel performance. The platform can be used to view and adjust channel settings such as input settings, signal generator, crossover, equaliser, limiter and load monitoring.
