The CA602 2 x 60-Watt Commercial Amplifier provides the perfect solution for
commercial and industrial applications requiring great sounding distributed
audio coupled with power conservation and reduced operating expense. Equipped
with 2 independent audio channels, the CA602 provide amplification to 2
separate zones. Capable of delivering high-quality sound over both Low-Z (4/8
Ohm) and High-Z (70/100 V) loudspeaker configurations offering extreme
flexibility on every channel. The CA602 is easy to install and operate
– even for non-technical personnel. Simply put, the CA602 is ideal-suited for
bars & restaurants, retail destinations, hotels, corporate, education or other
venues needing background music and/or a public address system.
*Energy Star Certified**
Not only does CA602’s direct drive constant power technology provide superior
audio performance and reliability, it also consumes less mains power than
competing models, which has earned it Energy Star certification. This amazing
technology makes it possible to
design and build powerful amplifier systems that not only save money on the
electrical bill,
but also reduce the requirements and cost at the installation for the mains
supply. In fact, it is
likely that installation can be done utilising the in-place mains
infrastructure. This adds up to
significant installation and operational savings and protects the environment.
Easy to Install
The CA602 comes equipped with rubber feet, enabling the amps to be placed on a
desk, shelf or any clear surface without any additional installation
requirements. However, optional rack mounting
hardware is also supplied, allowing one or several models to be housed and
protected inside an enclosure. This adds extensive flexibility as a single
product can be housed in a half 19″ rack or full rack enclosure as well as a
pair of amplifiers can easily be mounted side-by-side in a single rack space.
With the included brackets the unit can also be mounted to a wall or under a
table/shelf.
Automatic Power On/Off
The CA602 has a flexible power scheme with seamless and automatic power on/off
based on the input signal, which reduces consumption when a signal is not
present. With virtually zero configuration required, an energy smart and
hassle-free amplifier system can easily be set up for hands-off operation. If
the CA602 is powered on but does not receive an input signal for 20 minutes,
the system automatically enters sleep mode to reduce power consumption. As
soon as the Auto Ramp circuit detects a signal, the system powers on and
normal operation resumes. The amplifier can also be instantly forced into
standby mode or awakened via the front panel power button.
Sublimely Simple Controls
CA602’s controls are sublimely intuitive, allowing the operator to quickly
make adjustments. The front panel power button and Master volume knobs are
easily accessible, enabling virtually anyone to operate the system. Bass and
Treble controls are also available for fine tuning – but require a tool when
making changes.
Easy to Hook Up
For connecting a balanced source such as a mixer or audio processor, a
standard 3-pin Euro block Input socket is provided. Alternatively, RCA cables
can be connected for unbalanced stereo sources (summed to mono), such as
players, phones or computers, however only one input source should be used at
a time. Loudspeaker Output is provided in the form of a standard 4-pin Euro
block socket.
Output Configuration
Intuitive configuration of the flexible output channels is provided directly
adjacent to the rear panel Euroblock output connector with dip switches, which
allow selection of 100 V, 70 V, 8 Ω, or 4 Ω operation. This configures both
the maximum voltage of the output and the gain through the device. An
individual control engages the built-in high-pass filter, which should be used
on all constant voltage systems to avoid saturation on transformer-enabled
loudspeakers and to help maintain sound integrity.
Expandable Remote Control
The RJ45 receptacle per channel, on the rear panel opens up a broad range of
remote control options, including the CRC-V Series of wall controllers and a
stylish tabletop controller, the LAB.LEVEL. All can be interconnected via
inexpensive and readily-available Ethernet cabling.
System Scalability
Commercial installs vary widely in scope and often grow and change over time.
The CA602 is part of a family of products that provides both single and dual
zone products that are perfect for building out a system to any size. With its
individual zone volume and remote control capabilities, the CA602 is an ideal
building block for a dynamic and scalable system solution.
Real-World Energy Savings
The CA602 2 x 60-Watt Commercial Amplifier makes it easy to bring highest-
quality music and announcements to commercial and industrial environments in
an easy to integrate – and even easier to operate system. Plus, with features
such as its Auto Ramp and revolutionary direct drive constant power
technology, the Energy Star certified CA602 can generate enough energy savings
to pay for itself in virtually no time at all.
