Enhanced flexibility in 70 V installations
Combining premium audio performance with extraordinary exibility,
Lab.gruppen’s innovative LUCIA (Localized Utility Compact
Intelligent Amplication) introduces a decentralized approach to AV
systems design. Power, limiting, control and I/O are conveniently
placed where needed, offering a cost-efcient and scalable solution
that often eliminates the complications and added costs of a
centralized equipment room. All LUCIA ampliers incorporate a
digital, rmware-controlled front end coupled to a robust, durable
and highly efcient Lab.gruppen output stage. This model brings the
inherent advantages of the LUCIA concept to a range of constant
voltage applications.
Fast installation, reliable operation
LUCIA ampliers install quickly using the supplied wall-mount bracket
(for on-wall placement e.g. behind video displays, or on ceilings, or
cabinet walls or under tables etc) or on rubber feet on any at surface.
Pole-mount and rack-mount brackets are available as options. All
connections are detachable, and level setting is available on frontpanel potentiometers as well as via GPI. An advanced protection
scheme protects the amplier and connected loudspeakers from
potential damage caused by clipping, thermal overload, or extremely
low line voltage. LUCIA’s built-in matrix automatically mixes the
balanced and unbalanced inputs with optimized gain structure.
Selection or mixing of inputs is accommodated by front panel
potentiometers or by conguration of the GPI.
▸ GPIO – Remote control for output level and instant wake
from sleep mode as default; other options possible via the
configuration software
▸ Conguration sof tware – Windows and Mac software wizard for
initial set-up (connection via USB)
▸ Fail-safe operation – Comprehensive short circuit, thermal and
under-voltage protection
▸ Intelligent fan control – Silent at idle and extremely quiet at low
output levels
▸ Selectable high-pass lter – Rear switches for ON/OFF and
50 Hz or 80 Hz filter; this is in series with the customizable input
and ouput EQs (which are flat from the factory)
▸ ENERGY STAR® qualied
efficiency standards

– Conforms to latest energy
Integrated DSP for enhanced flexibility
All LUCIA models incorporate comprehensive DSP features, including
look-ahead limiter and exible equalization which often eliminate the
need for external mixers and processors in many applications - saving
time and money. A software wizard facilitates fast set-up via USB, a
feature that can this reuse previous set-up les.
Green credentials
LUCIA ampliers are ENERGY STAR qualied, making them ideal for
installation in projects seeking energy efcient certications. LUCIA
ampliers automatically enter standby mode after a 20 minute period
with no signal input, consuming less than 1 watt. Automatic power-up
occurs within one second after an input signal is sensed, a feature that
often eliminates any need for power sequencers or controllers. If no
loss of initial audio is required (e.g. for an important message), a contact
closure on GPI-2 can turn on the amplier before audio playback.
