The Lab Gruppen CMA1202 is an advanced commercial mixer amplifier designed as a centralized audio management and amplification solution for modern background music and paging systems. This integrated unit combines a high-efficiency two-channel power amplifier with a comprehensive eight-input mixer and sophisticated digital control capabilities, tailored for professional installations in retail chains, corporate campuses, hospitality venues, and educational facilities. It serves as the nerve center for multi-zone audio distribution, enabling the seamless blending of multiple music sources, microphone inputs, and paging signals with intelligent priority management. Its architecture is built for scalability and remote management, allowing system integrators to configure, monitor, and control the entire audio environment from a single software interface over a standard network connection.

The amplifier section delivers robust performance with 120 watts per channel, compatible with both low-impedance and 70V/100V constant-voltage speaker systems to accommodate a wide range of commercial loudspeaker layouts. The integrated mixer features eight balanced inputs that accept both microphone and line-level signals, each equipped with individual gain control and configurable priority levels. Advanced features include automatic ducking, which lowers background music volume during announcements, and tone generator functions for system testing. Network connectivity is a cornerstone of the design, providing not only remote control via dedicated software but also the potential for audio streaming and integration with third-party control systems, offering unparalleled flexibility for system expansion and daily operation.

Engineered for reliability in always-on installations, the CMA1202 utilizes a convection-cooled, fanless design that ensures silent operation—a critical consideration for noise-sensitive environments like libraries or executive offices. The front panel offers intuitive controls and a clear display for local management, while the rear panel hosts a full complement of professional connections, including balanced inputs, speaker output terminal blocks, and data ports for control and expansion. By uniting powerful amplification, flexible mixing, intelligent logic, and comprehensive network control in a single 2U chassis, the Lab Gruppen CMA1202 provides a future-proof and highly efficient backbone for demanding commercial audio systems.
