LEA Professional announced its Control4 certification. Residential dealers and integrators can designate LEA amplifiers as part of a Control4 distributed audio system.

The new drivers in the Control4 system can automatically detect all LEA amps. The integrator can then drag and drop the discovered amps into the system design, assign each output to specific rooms and establish audio paths from any audio device within the system to the amps. Once the setup is completed, the controls for the end user (such as volume, mute or source selection) will appear on the controllers with normal names. For instance, they can name their primary finished basement space “Basement Bar” and have controls for selecting sources like Spotify, DIRECTV and more.

This certification enables more dealers and integrators to tap into LEA’s rich technology catalog, which features IT solutions, DSP and smart power management. LEA Professional’s Network Connect series of professional amplifiers and companion Dante Connect series featuring Dante and AES67 connectivity are also included. These series enable integrators to utilize cloud-based remote control, monitoring, notifications and more from any internet-enabled device, allowing them to stay connected anywhere in the world.

LEA Professional’s smart amplifiers are the most feature-rich amplifiers available in the industry — featuring onboard 96kHz DSP, LEA Cloud connectivity, WebUI, real-time load monitoring, Lo-Z/70V/100V selectable by channel, Smart Power Bridge technology, event and fault monitoring, high-efficiency power design and over 3,000 speaker tuning presets.
