The Lab Gruppen CPA2401 is a robust, integrated commercial mixer amplifier designed to deliver a complete, high-power audio solution for medium-scale background music and voice evacuation systems. This all-in-one unit consolidates a five-input mixer, a 240-watt power amplifier, and a multi-tap constant voltage transformer into a single, professional chassis. It is engineered to serve as the central audio hub for demanding commercial environments such as large retail spaces, restaurants, warehouses, and schools, where reliable paging and consistent background audio coverage are essential. The mixer section provides straightforward connectivity for common installation sources, including a dedicated priority microphone for announcements and several line-level inputs for music players or other program sources, facilitating simple yet effective audio management.

Functionality is centered on core commercial audio requirements, with integrated processing tailored for clarity and reliability. A key feature is its advanced priority logic, which allows a designated microphone input to automatically duck or mute background music with adjustable attenuation levels, ensuring critical announcements are heard with maximum intelligibility. The amplifier includes a multi-tap 70V/100V transformer output, enabling it to efficiently drive extensive distributed speaker systems over long cable runs without signal loss, simplifying installation and reducing the need for external transformers. This, combined with its substantial 240-watt power reserve, makes the CPA2401 capable of supporting sizable zones or multiple areas from a single unit.

Built for continuous, reliable operation, the amplifier utilizes efficient Class-D technology for cool running and low energy consumption, which is crucial for 24/7 applications. Its construction is robust, housed in a steel chassis with effective thermal management. Control is provided through an intuitive, logical front panel featuring level controls, source selectors, and clear status indicators for power, signal presence, and clipping. The Lab Gruppen CPA2401 embodies a professional, no-compromise approach by integrating essential mixing, substantial amplification, and commercial distribution capabilities into one dependable unit. It is an optimal choice for contractors seeking a powerful, feature-rich amplifier that ensures clear, reliable sound for music and voice in complex commercial installations.
