The Network and Dante Connect Series is perfectly suited for small to medium scale installations, these two, four, and eight channel amps feature direct HiZ (70V or 100V) or LoZ selectable by channel. With three ways to connect, you can engage the built in Wi-Fi access point, connect to the venue’s Wi-Fi, or use the FAST Ethernet to connect to any local area network via Cat5 or Cat6 cable.

The Network and Dante Connect Series is the first professional amplifier family to feature Cloud connectivity. Harness the power of the Cloud for remote control, monitoring, notifications and more from any of your personal devices. Just connect your amp to a network and start commanding your systems.

The Dante Connect Series also features analog and Dante inputs and external I/O control for remote on/off and fault monitoring.

The LEA Professional Connect Network and Dante 168 are a 8 Channel x 160 watt @ 4Ω, 8Ω, 70V and 100V per channel amplifier. Internal DSP w/ Crossovers, IoT Device with built in WiFi Hotspot, WIFI or fast ethernet connectivity and Highly Efficient Power Supply with Class D Output Stage. For those that need extra flexibility and Dante compatibility, choose the 168 Dante.
