Description
The LEA Professional CS122D Connect Series Half-Rack Smart Amplifier delivers powerful, flexible audio performance in a compact design. Featuring two amplifier channels with selectable low-impedance (Lo-Z), 70V, or 100V operation per channel, it provides versatile amplification for professional installed sound systems.
With built-in 96kHz DSP, Dante and AES67 connectivity, fully routable analog inputs, and advanced speaker protection, the CS122D simplifies system integration while maintaining high-quality audio performance.
Control and monitor the amplifier through its browser-based WebUI, LEA Cloud, SharkWare, or third-party APIs. Built-in Wi-Fi access point, existing Wi-Fi network connectivity, and Ethernet provide flexible network access options.
