Description
The LEA Professional CS354-ADSP Connect Series Smart Amplifier is a four-channel professional amplifier designed for demanding commercial audio installations. Delivering up to 350 watts per channel at supported output impedances, it combines efficient Class-D amplification with advanced digital signal processing. Its flexible architecture supports both low-impedance loudspeakers and 70V/100V distributed audio systems, making it suitable for a wide range of professional sound applications.
Powered by a 96kHz Analog Devices SHARC DSP processor with a 32-bit core and sample rate converters, the CS354-ADSP provides comprehensive audio processing and system configuration. Features include 2048-tap linear-phase FIR filters per channel, configurable IIR crossovers, eight-band parametric EQ per channel, input routing, and up to four seconds of output delay. User-adjustable speaker limiters and real-time load monitoring help maintain dependable system performance.
The amplifier features LEA Professional's cloud-connected platform for remote control, monitoring, and notifications from compatible personal devices without requiring a VPN. Installers can configure and manage the system through its browser-based WebUI, Cloud control, third-party API, or SharkWare software. With four balanced analog inputs, external I/O for remote power control and fault monitoring, and a universal power supply, the CS354-ADSP offers flexible integration for professional installed audio systems.
