The Lab.Gruppen LUCIA 240/2M is a compact and highly integrated matrix amplifier system designed to deliver versatile audio distribution and paging capabilities for commercial installation environments. Encapsulating two independent 120-watt amplifiers, a four-input mixer, and a sophisticated 4x2 audio matrix in a single 1U chassis, it provides a complete, all-in-one solution for background music and voice evacuation systems in small to medium-sized facilities such as retail stores, restaurants, offices, and schools. Its core intelligence lies in the configurable audio matrix, which allows any of its four inputs—including microphone, line-level, and telephone paging sources—to be routed to either or both amplifier outputs with independent level control. This enables precise zoning, such as sending background music to a store floor while routing critical paging announcements to both the floor and a staff-only back area simultaneously.

Designed with installer efficiency and end-user simplicity in mind, the LUCIA 240/2M features intuitive setup via front-panel controls or dedicated PC software. It includes essential processing like high-pass filtering, bass and treble tone controls, and priority ducking, where a higher-priority input (like a paging microphone) can automatically lower the volume of a lower-priority source (like music). The amplifier sections are highly efficient, utilizing Class D technology to provide reliable power with minimal heat generation and energy consumption, which is crucial for systems operating continuously. Comprehensive protection against faults such as short circuits and thermal overload ensures long-term reliability with minimal maintenance, making it suitable for unattended 24/7 operation.

The unit’s professional connectivity includes both low-impedance and 70V/100V constant-voltage outputs, offering maximum flexibility for speaker wiring topologies, whether for short runs or extensive distributed systems. By consolidating mixing, routing, and amplification into one space-saving, energy-efficient unit, the Lab.Gruppen LUCIA 240/2M eliminates the need for multiple separate components, reducing system cost, complexity, and potential points of failure. It stands as an intelligent, robust, and user-friendly cornerstone for professional commercial sound systems where clarity, flexibility, and operational simplicity are paramount.
