The Lab Gruppen CA602 is a dual-channel commercial power amplifier rated at 2 x 60 W, built for distributed background music and paging where running costs matter. It carries Energy Star certification, and Lab Gruppen's direct-drive constant-power design is intended to draw less mains power, which can make it easier to reuse existing electrical circuits. Each output can be set with DIP switches for 4 ohm or 8 ohm low-impedance loudspeakers or for 70 V and 100 V distributed lines, and a built-in high-pass filter can be engaged for constant-voltage systems. Operation is intentionally simple for non-technical staff: a front-panel power button and master volume, with bass and treble trims that require a tool so settings stay put. When no signal is present for 20 minutes the unit drops into sleep mode, and the Auto Ramp circuit wakes it automatically when audio returns. Installation is flexible, with rubber feet for shelf use, wall or under-shelf brackets, and half-rack or full-rack 19-inch mounting that lets two units share one rack space. An RJ45 port connects Lab Gruppen CRC-V wall controllers or the LAB.LEVEL tabletop controller over standard Ethernet cable.
Key Features
- 2 x 60 W output
- Energy Star certified, direct-drive constant-power design
- Selectable 4 ohm, 8 ohm, 70 V or 100 V operation via DIP switches
- Built-in high-pass filter for constant-voltage systems
- Automatic sleep after 20 minutes and Auto Ramp signal-sensing wake
- Balanced Euroblock and unbalanced RCA inputs (RCA stereo summed to mono)
- RJ45 remote port for CRC-V wall controllers and LAB.LEVEL
Ideal Applications
Bars, restaurants, retail stores, hotels, offices, schools and similar commercial spaces that need background music and announcements, including two separate zones from one unit.
Compatibility
Drives low-impedance 4/8 ohm loudspeakers or 70 V/100 V distributed loudspeaker systems. Remote volume and source control use Lab Gruppen CRC-V series wall controllers or the LAB.LEVEL tabletop controller (sold separately). Part of Lab Gruppen's single- and dual-zone commercial family, so systems can scale zone by zone.
