The Lab Gruppen LUCIA 60/2M is a small-format installation amplifier from the LUCIA (Localized Utility Compact Intelligent Amplification) family, built to put power, processing and control right where the loudspeakers are instead of in a central equipment room. It delivers 2 x 30 W and combines a firmware-controlled digital front end with a high-efficiency output stage.
This matrix version adds two extra inputs, so up to four sources can be mixed or routed to either output channel - ideal for zones that need background music plus paging or a local input. Auto Load Sense checks the impedance on each channel and delivers full output into anything from 2 to 8 ohms, which makes low-impedance distributed systems a practical alternative to 70 V designs, with better low-frequency performance and lower-cost loudspeakers. Setup is handled with a software wizard or offline editor, and finished presets can be pushed to multiple units over USB.
Key Features
- 4 x 4 mix matrix with pre- and post-matrix EQ and ADLC
- ENERGY STAR qualified; drops to standby (under 1 W) after 20 minutes without signal and wakes automatically when audio returns
- Euroblock screw-terminal inputs with parallel unbalanced RCA inputs for consumer sources
- Front-panel level potentiometers for quick on-site adjustment
- Control and monitoring via GPIO or the included RS232 interface using an open protocol
- Protection against clipping, thermal overload and extreme low line voltage
- Wall-mount bracket supplied; optional LUCIA Rackmount Kit holds one or two units in 1U
Ideal Applications
Conference and meeting rooms, retail stores, restaurants and bars, hotel lobbies, classrooms, houses of worship and any multi-zone commercial installation where a compact amplifier can be mounted near the loudspeakers.
Compatibility
Drives low-impedance (2-8 ohm) loudspeakers; it is not a 70 V/100 V constant-voltage amplifier. Fits the LUCIA Rackmount Kit (LAB-LUCIA-RACKKIT) for 19-inch rack installation. Accepts balanced line sources on Euroblock or unbalanced sources on RCA.
