Overview
Deliver reliable, remotely manageable audio for security, surveillance and commercial AV with the LEA Professional CONNECT 168D pro amplifier. This 1U, rack-ready 8-channel amplifier provides 160W per channel and native Dante inputs to simplify networked audio for paging, monitoring and background music. Select HiZ (70V/100V) or LoZ per channel to support distributed speaker lines or direct low-impedance loads — ideal for multi-zone security paging and public-address applications.
The CONNECT 168D combines cloud-enabled IoT control (AWS IoT Core), a built-in WebUI and three ways to network the unit (WiFi AP, venue WiFi or Ethernet) so integrators can deploy, monitor and update systems without on-site PC software. A 96kHz DSP with parametric EQ, steep crossover filters and speaker limiters ensures intelligible speech and reliable performance in surveillance and monitoring environments. The proprietary Smart Power Bridge adds bridging flexibility when extra power is needed for specific zones.
Specify the LEA Professional CONNECT 168D when you need a secure, networked amplifier that reduces installation time and simplifies ongoing system management. Contact sales to integrate it into your next security or AV project.
