At the heart of the L-ACOUSTICS® integrated system approach, the LA4X and LA8 amplified controllers offer high performance loudspeaker amplification, DSP, network control and comprehensive system protection in a single ergonomic package. On-board library presets have been developed for immediate use with a minimum of EQ correction, optimized system resources and a unique sonic signature for all systems, a feature particularly beneficial for complex installations.
 
Based upon a 4x4 (LA4X) and a 2x4 (LA8) platform, the exceptional and groundbreaking performance level delivered by both the LA4X and LA8 allows for full optimization of all L-ACOUSTICS® system resources and delivers outstanding audio quality combined with the best possible transducer protection. LA Network Manager with its intuitive user interface provides a high level of hands-on system control without sacrificing accurate and fast operation under real-world conditions. For fixed installation, external control of the amplified controllers is possible from AMX®, EXTRON® and CRESTRON® panels.
