The Lab Gruppen CPA1202 is a versatile commercial mixer amplifier engineered to serve as an all-in-one audio control center for background music and paging systems in professional installations. This integrated unit combines a high-efficiency stereo power amplifier with an eight-input mixer and comprehensive control logic, streamlining system design for applications in retail environments, restaurants, corporate offices, and educational facilities. Its core functionality centers on providing reliable, high-quality amplification for distributed loudspeaker systems while offering the input flexibility and zoning capabilities needed to manage multiple audio sources and paging zones from a single, rack-mountable chassis.

The amplifier section delivers 120 watts per channel into 4 ohms and is compatible with both low-impedance and 70V/100V constant-voltage loudspeaker systems, offering broad compatibility with standard commercial speakers. The integrated mixer features eight balanced microphone/line inputs, each with individual level controls, and includes priority ducking functionality that automatically lowers background music levels when a paging mic is activated, ensuring clear and intelligible announcements. Advanced system management is facilitated through included control software, which allows for remote configuration, monitoring, and control of audio parameters, source routing, and zone assignments via a standard Ethernet network connection.

Designed for silent operation and energy efficiency, the amplifier utilizes a convection-cooled, fanless design that is ideal for noise-sensitive environments like conference rooms or executive offices. The front panel provides clear metering and status indicators, while the rear panel hosts a comprehensive array of professional connections, including balanced inputs, speaker outputs via terminal blocks, and data ports for control integration. By uniting robust amplification, flexible mixing, intelligent priority logic, and network-based control in a single, reliable unit, the Lab Gruppen CPA1202 provides system integrators with a powerful and efficient solution for managing commercial audio and paging systems of varying complexity.
