The Lab Gruppen LUCIA 240/2M is a compact, high-efficiency dual-channel matrix amplifier specifically engineered for sophisticated multi-zone commercial installation audio systems. Delivering 120 watts per channel, it integrates not only robust Class-D amplification but also a built-in DSP matrix mixer, allowing multiple audio sources to be routed, mixed, and processed independently to each output channel. This capability enables a single unit to manage audio for two separate zones with individual source selection and volume control, eliminating the need for a separate mixer in many small to medium-sized applications. Designed for environments such as retail stores, restaurants, offices, and hospitality venues, it provides a streamlined, all-in-one solution for background music and paging where different audio sources or content may need to be directed to different areas.

A core feature of the 240/2M is its integrated matrix mixer and signal processing. Typically, the amplifier includes multiple stereo line-level inputs (e.g., 4) which can be independently assigned in any mix to the two output channels via front-panel controls or software. Each channel is equipped with DSP functions including input and output EQ, delay, and limiting, allowing the sound to be tailored precisely to the acoustic requirements of each zone. This integrated processing simplifies system design, reduces component count, and ensures optimal performance and protection for connected loudspeakers. Control is facilitated through intuitive front-panel controls or via network software for more complex setup and remote monitoring.

The amplifier is built for silent, reliable 24/7 operation in discreet locations. It utilizes a fanless, convection-cooled design housed in an ultra-compact chassis, making it suitable for high-density rack mounting or placement in noise-sensitive areas. Comprehensive protection circuitry safeguards against faults such as short circuits, thermal overload, and excessive input signals. By combining flexible matrix mixing, dedicated per-channel DSP, and efficient amplification in a single, compact unit, the Lab Gruppen LUCIA 240/2M provides installers with a powerful, space-saving, and intelligent audio solution for modern commercial sound systems requiring zoned audio distribution.
