Français: N’installez pas cet appareil dans un espace conné.
Check the voltage in your area and use the correct type of mains
connector.
Français: Vériez la tension en vigueur dans votre région et utilisez
le bon type de che secteur.
Please refer to the following table:
Voltage Line plug (according to st andard)
Unpacking and visual checks
Every Lab.gruppen amplier is carefully tested and inspected before
leaving the factory and should arrive in perfect condition. If any
damage is discovered, please notify the shipping carrier immediately.
Save the packing materials for the carrier’s inspection and for any
future shipping.
Ensure that there is sufcient open space on at least two ventilating
surfaces (top, bottom, front and rear) of the ampliers to allow for
free air ow. Please refer to the full Operation Manual for thermal
dissipation value when installing large numbers of ampliers in air
conditioned spaces.
LUCIA ampliers feature intelligent fan control. In low power
applications and with good ventilation, the fan will remain off. At
moderate power levels, the fan may activate in “whisper mode.”
The fan will run at full speed only at elevated output levels, when
noise will be masked by loud program.
Operating voltage
LUCIA ampliers have a universal power supply that operates on AC
mains from 100 – 240 V at 50 or 60 Hz. The power receptacle on
the rear panel accepts the supplied IEC cord which terminates in a
connector appropriate for the country of sale.
Grounding
Signal ground is oating via a resistor to chassis, and therefore
grounding (earthing) is automatic. For safety reasons, never
disconnect the earth (ground) pin on the AC power cord. Use
balanced input connections to avoid hum and interference when
longer input cables (more than about 1 m/ 39”) are used.
5
Front panel
The front panel presents the following amplier status indicators:
1 Standby/On LED indicator – A three-color LED illuminates
amber when amplier is in standby power mode and illuminates
green when the amplier is on. When Protection mode is invoked,
the LED starts ashing red, and the speaker outputs are muted.
For more information on Protection mode, please refer to the full
Operation Manual.
2 Signal present/limit/clip indicators – A three-color LED
illuminates to provide channel status information as follows:
Green - Signal is present at the input and the channel is
operating normally.
1 2 3 4
Amber – Limiting is active on the channel. Limiting is engaged when:
• The channel reaches the voltage limit as determined by the
automatic Voltage Peak Limiter (VPL) setting
• Maximum current output is reached
• Mains voltage cannot maintain rail voltage
Red – Channel is clipping either at the input or in DSP.
3 Signal attenuators – A signal attenuator is provided for input
channels 1 and 2. Attenuators are adjustable over a range of – innity
to 0 dB.
4 Airow input – Make certain this input is not blocked or covered.
Rear panel
The following features are located on the rear panel of all LUCIA
ampliers:
1 Balanced audio inputs (1 & 2) – Connect balanced inputs using
3-pole Euroblock connectors. Correct polarity (+, -) and ground
terminations are shown on the rear panel.
2 Unbalanced audio inputs (1 & 2) - Connect unbalanced inputs
(e.g. local video screen output, CD player) to the RCA (phono) inputs.
Note: Balanced and unbalanced inputs are in parallel; only one pair
of inputs should be connected at one time.
3 Speaker outputs - Connect loudspeakers with nominal
impedance of 2, 4, 8 or 16 ohms. Maximum connector current rating
is 41 Arms (exceeding capacity of the amplier). Cables up to 4 mm
(12 AWG) can be accommodated. Observe polarity to avoid low
frequency cancellation loss.
Note: Bridge mode connection is not supported.
4 GPIO/Remote connector - Connect external control and status
monitoring devices using the six-pole Euroblock connector. See
“GPIO Conguration” in Set-up and Operation section following.

Set-up and Operation
DSP/Matrix Configuration
Auto Standby / Power-up – LUCIA ampliers do not have a power
switch. The amplier will turn on automatically when AC power is
connected to the unit; it will go into standby mode if no signal is
present at any input for 20 minutes. When in standby, the amplier
will power up in two seconds when a signal above the preset
threshold (-54 dBu default) is present at any channel input.
GPIO Conguration – All LUCIA models provide the default
functionality described below with their General Purpose Inputs
and Output.
Remote volume control - The default functionality for the GPI is
independent control of output volume, please note that this control is
in series with the control of from the front panel. There are two ways
to do this:
• Connect a GPO from a control device that outputs 0 – 3.3 V for
control. Their grounds also need to be connected;
see Full Operational Manual manual for further instructions.
• Connect a remote volume control potentiometer per channel to
pins 1 through 4 of the GPIO connector as shown below (the
VCC voltage output is 3.3 V).
Amplier status - Pins 5 and 6 connect to an internal relay to
provide amplier fault indication. The relay is closed when the
amplier is on and operating normally. The relay opens if a fault in
either channel or in the power supply interrupts normal operation of
one or both channels.
Optional GPIO modes - The Matrix models allow other GPIO
functions to be enabled by applying changes to the amplier
rmware. See the full Operation Manual for more information.
(LUCIA 120/2M and 240/2M only)
The LUCIA 120/2M and 240/2M include a 4 x 4 mix matrix and a
comprehensive suite of DSP features. In nearly all applications for
this type of amplier, the included features eliminate the need for an
external mixer or processing unit. Also, the default DSP and matrix
conguration allows “out of the box” installation with no further
conguration required for many typical applications.
Default preset – The default matrix and DSP conguration is as follows:
SPEAKER 1 = IN 1; volume attenuated with GPI 1 (and front knob)
SPEAKER 2 = IN 2; volume attenuated with GPI 2 (and front knob)
Out 3 = In 1 (-6 dB) + In 2 (-6 dB); volume attenuated with GPI 1
Out 4 = In 1 (-6 dB) + In 2 (-6 dB); volume is not affected by GPI
Software download and installation – Very intuitive conguration
software is available that allows selection of which preset to use
(optimized for different loudspeakers) and what dynamics processing
to use. This application is available for free download from
www.labgruppen.com/support. Follow installation instructions on the
“Read Me” le included with the download.
USB connection – A USB connection is provided for rmware
updates and downloading presets to the LUCIA. For complete
information please refer to the full Operation Manual.
Custom conguration – Please refer to the full Operation Manual
for detailed information on custom conguration of DSP functions
using the LUCIA conguration application.
