About the Lab Gruppen FAD2402_US1 2 x 240 Watt Commercial Amplifier with Direct Drive Technology, Dante Networking and Energy Star Certification
The Lab Gruppen FAD2402_US1 is a state-of-the-art, networked commercial amplifier that combines high-efficiency Class D amplification with integrated Dante audio-over-IP networking. Delivering 240 watts per channel into 4 ohms, this two-channel amplifier is engineered for modern, scalable installed audio systems in corporate, hospitality, educational, and worship environments. Its Energy Star certification highlights its energy-efficient operation, reducing operational costs and environmental impact without sacrificing performance. A defining feature is the inclusion of Dante networking, which allows the amplifier to receive digital audio streams directly from a Dante-enabled mixer or DSP over a standard Ethernet network, eliminating the need for separate analog audio cabling and enabling centralized system control and monitoring.
Beyond its networking capabilities, the FAD2402 employs Lab Gruppen's proprietary Direct Drive technology, which ensures precise, dynamic amplification with low distortion. The amplifier includes comprehensive system protection against overloads, short circuits, and thermal stress, ensuring reliable 24/7 operation. Front-panel LED meters provide clear visual feedback on output levels and status. Its convection-cooled, fanless design allows for silent operation, making it suitable for noise-sensitive applications. The amplifier is housed in a compact 1U rack-mountable chassis, saving valuable rack space in equipment closets.
By integrating power amplification, digital audio transport, and intelligent monitoring into a single, efficient unit, the Lab Gruppen FAD2402_US1 represents a forward-thinking solution for professional installed audio. It simplifies system design, reduces installation complexity, and provides the tools needed for effective system management, making it an ideal choice for integrators designing future-proof, networked audio infrastructures.
