Each channel can be selected for HiZ or LoZ operation. Analog and Dante inputs, an input-routing matrix, internal DSP and crossovers give an installation multiple signal-management options. Connect through its Wi-Fi access point, venue Wi-Fi, or FAST Ethernet, then use LEA Cloud for remote control, monitoring, and notifications.
