LCAi220
Local Control Amplifier
The speaker sharing solution
that’s plasma perfect.

Put the power of Boston Acoustics
behind your plasma.
The LCAi220 is the only product of its kind on the market.
No other speaker sharing amplifier offers this level of performance,
versatility, and simplicity all while disappearing from view. Now,
switching between whole house audio and local sources such as
plasma TVs, PCs, MP3 players, and gaming systems is not only
seamless, its invisible.
With both high-level and low-level inputs and connections
for optional powered subwoofers, the LCAi220 easily enables
any local audio source. Plus, it provides plenty of digital
power for today’s TV and music sources. Finally, it features a
fully adjustable gain and automatic DC/overload/overdrive
protection, for incredible sound, with perfect installation.
As easy on the eyes as it is to install.
The LCAi220 flush mounts beautifully, making it the only
solution that’s invisible to end-users and ideal for use behind
wall-mounted flat panel TVs. Plus, it’s easy to install – not
only is it compatible with a wide range of manufacturers’
speakers, it requires only minimal tools for hook up. It’s the
simple, elegant solution perfect not only for plasmas, but for
today’s PCs, MP3 players, and gaming systems, as well.
High quality, multi-source audio
in any room.
Flat out, the most elegant speaker sharing solution available,
the LCAi220 makes it simple to listen to your whole house
audio system and local sources like plasma TVs, PCs, MP3
players, gaming systems, etc. through your existing speakers.
When a local source is powered up, this in-wall local zone
amplifier automatically senses the current and connects the
room speakers to that source. Yet, unlike bulky switching
amplifiers, the LCAi220 is the only one that does it this
beautifully. Its unique flush-mount design is as sleek as the
plasmas it’s designed for, and features a performance level
that’s just as seamless. It’s the perfect power source for the
pure, natural sound of Boston Acoustics speakers.
