Lea Llc Lea CS164D 4-channel Power Amplifier Dante 160W

Product Description

The LEA LLC LEA CS164D is a 4-channel power amplifier with integrated Dante network audio capability, delivering 160 watts of total output power. Designed for professional audio distribution and installation environments, this amplifier combines networked digital audio transport with multi-channel amplification in a single unit. It is intended for installation by professional AV integrators and commercial sound contractors working in distributed audio systems, background music zones, paging applications, and similar installed-sound scenarios. The Dante protocol enables low-latency, high-quality audio routing over standard IP networks, eliminating the need for analog snake runs in larger installations.

The LEA CS164D is suited for commercial and light-commercial installed-sound applications where multiple independent audio zones are required. Typical deployments include restaurants, retail spaces, houses of worship, conference rooms, and similar venues that require networked audio distribution. The 4-channel architecture allows a single unit to drive multiple speaker zones from one rack-mounted device, reducing rack space and cabling complexity. Installation professionals working in AV integration, commercial sound, and systems contracting are the primary users of this amplifier.

• 160 watts total output power across all channels
• Designed for installed-sound and commercial AV applications
• Reduces analog cabling requirements via networked audio input

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style installed-sound power amplifier for commercial distributed audio systems utilizing Dante-compatible network audio infrastructure.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified AV integrator or licensed low-voltage contractor familiar with networked audio systems and NEC requirements for signal and power wiring. Power down the amplifier and disconnect it from the AC mains before making any speaker or network connections. Dante network configuration requires a managed network switch and setup through Dante Controller software prior to commissioning. Follow all applicable local electrical codes and the manufacturer datasheet for rack mounting, ventilation clearance, and load impedance requirements.
