Description
The LEA Professional CS3004 Connect Series High-Power Smart Amplifier is a four-channel professional amplifier designed for large-scale commercial audio installations. Delivering up to 3,000 watts per channel at 2Ω, 4Ω, 8Ω, 25V, and 70V/100V, it supports low-impedance loudspeakers and selectable high-impedance distributed audio systems. Its high-power output and flexible channel configuration make it suitable for demanding installations requiring powerful, multi-zone audio distribution.
Built around a highly efficient Class-D output stage and Analog Devices 96kHz DSP, the CS3004 provides advanced audio processing and system protection. Features include linear-phase FIR crossover filters, IIR crossovers up to 48dB per octave, eight-band parametric EQ per channel, up to four seconds of output delay, adjustable voltage limiting, and real-time load monitoring. Smart Power Bridge technology enables bridged output functionality on two channels without sacrificing another amplifier channel.
The CS3004 offers browser-based WebUI access, third-party API control, and LEA Cloud connectivity for remote configuration, monitoring, and notifications. Its four balanced analog inputs can be routed through the input matrix, while external I/O supports remote on/off control and amplifier health monitoring. The Network Connect model supports three connection methods: built-in Wi-Fi access point, an existing Wi-Fi network, or wired LAN. The CS3004D Dante Connect version additionally supports Dante and AES67 audio networking.
