Is your go-to amplifier working hard enough for you?

15/12/2025

As an integrator, you stick with what you know. We get it. Switching amplifier brands feels like a risk—but what if staying put is costing you time, service calls, reputation and even additional revenue opportunity?

In the world of AV integration, the "fit and forget" model is becoming a thing of the past. As client expectations rise and margins on hardware squeeze tighter, the real value for modern integrators lies in the long game: service, support, and reliability.

But how do you offer a premium service contract when diagnosing a simple fault requires a two-hour round trip in the van?

The industry is shifting. Connectivity isn't just a buzzword anymore; it’s a business tool. By adopting cloud-connected audio systems, you unlock the ability to offer proactive remote monitoring and management. Imagine knowing a system has a fault before the client even calls you. Or your tech team fixing a configuration error or updating firmware from your office—or via mobile—without ever stepping onto customer site.

This isn't just about saving time and money; it's about transitioning from simply installing hardware to becoming a true technology partner to your clients, building recurring revenue streams through meaningful Managed Service offerings.

To do this, you don't need a rack full of servers, complex control processors and a fancy (expensive) cloud telemetry system.

You just need the right amplifier.

Enter LEA Professional: The Intelligent Choice

If you are still installing "dumb" amplifiers because "that's what we've always used," you are missing out on the smartest tool in the rack. LEA Professional has disrupted the market by building the world’s first true IoT-enabled audio platform, specifically designed to give integrators the edge.

The LEA Connect Series bridges the gap between professional reliability and modern IT flexibility. It empowers you to deploy systems that are easier to install, smarter to manage, and more profitable to maintain.

The LEA Advantage

  • The Cloud (No VPN Required): This is the game-changer. The free LEA Cloud platform allows you to monitor status, adjust settings, and update firmware for your entire install base remotely. It is secure, intuitive, and turns your service department into a proactive powerhouse.

  • Smart Power Bridge: Stop over-specifying your amps. LEA’s proprietary technology allows you to double the power on any single channel without sacrificing the others. It gives you maximum flexibility with less inventory holding.

  • Built-in Professional DSP: Every model features 96kHz DSP with protective limiters, EQ, and delay built right in. You get premium processing power without the need for external hardware.

Hardware That Fits Every Project

Whether you are fitting out a boutique retail space or a sprawling university campus, the Connect Series has a form factor to match:

  • The New Half-Rack Series: All the brains of the big amps in a compact, install-friendly size. Perfect for restaurants and retail where space is at a premium, these units mount easily behind screens or under tables while delivering full Connect Series power.

  • CS Touch Controller: Finally, a wall controller that end-users can actually use. PoE-powered and elegant, it gives your clients simple volume and source control without the complexity of a full control system.

  • High-Power & High-Channel Count: For larger venues, the 168 and 1504 models deliver massive channel density and power, simplifying your rack builds and reducing cost per channel.

So when you're thinking about your choice of amplifier for your next project, especially in Retail, Leisure or Hospitality - think about where you might be missing an opportunity to increase the long-term project value and level-up on client support and satisfaction, by just sticking to the same old, same old amp choice.
