LEA Professional will unveil its Cinema Digital Series of IoT-enabled smart amplifiers at CinemaCon 2024, which is being held April 8-11 at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas.
The nine Cinema Digital Series models support two or four channels, with between 350 to 1500 watts per channel. All models can integrate with the Dolby Cinema Processor CP950 and include AES67 primary and secondary inputs, analogue backup inputs, and the ability to accept AES67 feeds directly from a CP950 without requiring additional hardware.
LEA amplifiers feature a tamper-resistant design that eliminates front panel controls and ensures security, while user interfaces like WebUl and SharkWare are designed to speed up installations. All Cinema Digital Series amplifiers have three connectivity options — wired, access point, and Wi-Fi.
Users of the Cinema Digital Series receive remote control and monitoring via the LEA Cloud. This allows integrators to receive notifications and monitor their projects from anywhere in the world on any internet-enabled device.
“People go to the movies to escape and relax for a few hours. Ensuring the entire experience, including the film’s audio, is pristine can make a world of difference,” said Brian Pickowitz, vice president of marketing, LEA Professional. “The Cinema Digital Series is positioned to simplify and improve integrators’ and cinema staff’s audio experience, while simultaneously immersing moviegoers in lush audio like never before.”
