About Crown Audio LA4-D
Discover the power and precision of the LA4-D DSi 2.0 Series Next-Generation Amplifier with Dante for JBL Cinema Loudspeakers. This advanced amplifier is part of JBL's first-ever dedicated cinema amplifier line, building upon the renowned Crown DSI Digital Screen Array amplifier technology. It seamlessly integrates the best-in-class DSP from Crown's flagship CDi DriveCore series, delivering powerful, high-quality amplification for the entire range of JBL cinema loudspeakers.
Choose from three power configurations, available in both analog and analog-plus-digital "D" versions. The "D" versions feature Dante/AES67 connectivity, allowing for streamlined hardware needs and faster, easier system deployment. These amplifiers are specifically designed to meet the power requirements of JBL cinema speakers, providing a unified JBL cinema solution.
The D-models, including the LA4-D, interface directly with Dolby Atmos, eliminating the need for additional processing hardware. JBL Cinema Speaker presets are included to simplify configuration, optimize playback audio, and protect against equipment damage.
All DSi 2.0 amplifiers, including the LA4-D, feature SNMP connectivity for networked audio distribution and immersive installations. They also interface directly with third-party theater-management and cinema-control systems.
Each model provides 4 channels of amplification with bridgeable outputs in a compact 2RU footprint. They can power up to four JBL surround speakers with a single amp channel in high-power-density 2 Ohm mode.
The DSi 2.0 series amps, including the LA4-D, incorporate best-in-class, 32-bit/96kHz floating-point DSP and Crown DriveCore technology. This innovative technology replaces hundreds of internal components with a single processing chip, resulting in superior power density, stability, and audio fidelity.
For cinema managers and integrators looking to maximize their power investment and future-proof their systems, the LA4-D DSi 2.0 Series Next-Generation Amplifier with Dante for JBL Cinema Loudspeakers delivers robust, reliable amplification in an efficient, cost-effective package.
