The Lab.Gruppen CA1202 is a compact, 2-channel 2 x 120W amplifier for commercial and industrial applications requiring distributed audio coupled with power conservation and reduced operating expenses well suited for bars, restaurants, retail, hotels, corporate, education, or other venues needing background music and/or a public-address system.

The amplifier delivers high-quality sound over both Low-Z (4/8 Ohms) and High-Z (70/100V) loudspeaker configurations offering extreme flexibility. The CA1202 provides control over volume and offers bass and treble controls for fine tuning your sound. 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 ohms, or 4 ohms 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. An RJ45 receptacle on the rear panel opens a broad range of remote control options, including the optional 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.

The CA1202 comes equipped with rubber feet, enabling the amp 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.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Hi,Would it be possible to power my 200 watts speaker using RANE MA3?

A: This amp is not powerful enough at 40 watts per channel to power a 200 watt speaker. The Lab.Gruppen LUCIA 240/1-70 Mono Amplifier for 70V Installations (1 x 240W), B&H # LAL240170US would be good for one speaker. If you have 2 speakers , then I would look at the QSC SPA Series ENERGY STAR 2-Channel Power Amplifier (200W/Channel), B&H # QSSPA2200.

Q: 2. Will this amp work with a JBL 25t?

A: Yes it should power them just fine.

Q: 3. does this come with a camera? if so which one?

A: The YUNEEC H520E Commercial Hexacopter will not include a camera.

Q: 4. Is it possible to output low impedance on channel one and high impedance on channel two simultaneously?

A: When in stereo mode, the QSC ISA300Ti Commercial Power Amplifier with 70V Transformer operates both outputs independently, so you could use one channel for 8Ohm and the other channel for 70V.

Q: 5. How many speakers can this support? I have 5 JBL 25t speakers and want to make sure it can support all 5 or if I need to look at a different model.

A: Yes, depending on how you wire the system.

Q: 6. I have the Ashly 8.2t+ passive speakers. Is this amp comparable for conference room sound reinforcement?

A: Yes the Rane Commercial MA 3 Amplifier is directly compatible with the Ashly AW 8.2T+ Passive 8" 2-Way Installation Speaker with Transformer (White, Pair) for conference room sound reinforcement.

Q: 7. Does this include the rack brackets with purchase?

A: Yes. The rack mounting kit is included.

Q: 8. Is this an original version of the amplifier with the fan speed control? The product image silkscreen seems to indicate this is NOS.

A: No, this is the current version of the Rane MA 3 Three-Channel Power Amplifier which does not offer control of the fan speed. The earlier version did have a two-way switch that allowed you to run the fan at normal or fast speed. According to Rane, it was seldom necessary, if ever, to run the fan at the fast speed, except perhaps in very hot environments when used for heavily compressed music into a demanding load. The downside of running the fan at the fast speed was noise. For that reason the current version does not include fan speed control and provides thermal management with a sealed heat-tunnel design incorporating low velocity forced-air and large aperture openings. This design minimizes the noise usually associated with forced air cooling and eliminates the need for an air filter. Forced air-cooling allows the amplifier to operate reliably in harsh environments and avoid the buildup of heat in unventilated racks.

Q: 9. Does this item come with Rack mount ears?

A: The Quest Commercial M-65 does not include rack ears, but they are available separately (BH #QURKM3565).

Q: 10. Is this Drone capable of doing Mapping?

A: Yes. The YUNEEC H520E Commercial Hexacopter can cover site mapping, inspection, search and rescue, and more.
