With the new software, all six Lucia amplifiers including the two new 70 V models can access the full set of matrixing and DSP features, some of which were previously restricted to the premium M-suffix models that offer additional inputs and line level outputs.
The common harmonized feature set now includes custom EQ on inputs, custom EQ or preset recall for each discrete output, reconfigurable GPI ports, and Lab.gruppen's exclusive ADLC (Automatic Dynamic Loudness Contouring). Each model also offers matrix mixing of all inputs to all available outputs as determined by the model's available hardware I/O capability.
For users who previously purchased the Lucia 120/2, the software release enables a major upgrade of DSP capabilities at no extra cost, as the new features are unlocked by the software/firmware upgrade.
Lab.gruppen also has announced that Lucia 70 V models (240/1-70 and 120/1-70) for constant voltage applications, launched at Infocomm in June, are now shipping.
