The L-Acoustics CO 24 is a sophisticated, multi-channel control and distribution unit designed specifically for use with L-Acoustics amplified loudspeaker systems. It serves as the central hub and brain of the LA-RAK amplified touring rig, providing power distribution, remote monitoring, and system control for up to 24 channels of LA4X or LA12X amplified controllers.

Its primary function is to distribute three-phase AC power to the amplifiers in a structured and protected manner while also hosting the network switches and processors required for the L-Acoustics Network Manager (LA-Network Manager) software. This allows system engineers to remotely configure, control, and monitor every aspect of the loudspeaker system—including levels, EQ, delays, and limiters—from a single computer, ensuring optimal performance and system protection.

Built into a robust, flight-cased rack enclosure, the CO 24 is engineered for the demands of large-scale touring and fixed installations. It includes comprehensive circuit protection, power conditioning, and sequential power-up sequencing to prevent inrush current surges. The unit integrates seamlessly with the L-Acoustics ecosystem, providing Ethernet connectivity for the amplified controllers and housing optional system processing cards like the P1 AVB processor for audio networking. By consolidating power distribution, networking, and system control into one manageable unit, the CO 24 streamlines complex audio system deployment, enhances reliability, and provides unparalleled control over the sonic performance of a large-scale L-Acoustics array.
