CS168D

SMART AMP WITH DANTE | 8 CH | 160 WATTS PER CH

Audio

The LEA Professional CS168D is an 8-channel Dante CONNECT Series smart amplifier delivering 160 watts per channel at 4Ω, 8Ω, 70V, and 100V (80W at 2Ω). Its high channel count in a compact 1U chassis makes it ideal for zoned background music, distributed paging, conference centers, retail, and hospitality installations where many independent channels of Dante audio and remote cloud management are required.

The amplifier provides 8 balanced analog inputs with selectable 26/34 dB sensitivity plus 8 × 8 Dante at 96/48 kHz (AES67 configurable via Dante Controller). An on-board Analog Devices Sigma 96kHz DSP with a 32-bit core supports 8-band parametric EQ per channel, crossovers up to 48 dB/octave, and real-time load monitoring. Through the LEA CONNECT cloud platform and browser-based WebUI, integrators can configure, monitor, and troubleshoot the system from anywhere in the world with no VPN required.
