Cloud control, monitoring, and notifications coming end of 2019
INTRODUCTION | CONNECTSERIES
Introducing an Internet of Things (IOT) enabled, professional-grade amplifier family – the Dante Connect
Series. Perfectly suited for small to medium scale installations, these two, four, and eight channel amps
feature direct HiZ (70V or 100V) or LoZ selectable by channel. With three ways to connect, you can
engage the built in WiFi access point, connect to the venue’s WiFi, and use the FAST 10/100MB Ethernet
to connect to any local area network via Cat5 or Cat6 cable.
Then there’s the Cloud…The Dante Connect Series is the first professional amplifier family to feature
Cloud connectivity. Harness the power of the Cloud for remote control, monitoring, notifications and more
from any of your personal devices – no software download needed! Just connect your amp to a network
and start commanding your systems. Register for your free LEA Cloud account at leaprofessional.cloud
The power of the Cloud and our Web UI will set the installer up to be able to create a recurring revenue
source by adding monitoring and preventative system maintenance to their service contracts. Also
included is an Analog Devices 96kHZ DSP with up to 48dB/Oct filters, 8 parametric EQ’s, speaker
protection limiting, and many more features controlled by a web-based UI.
The Dante Connect Series also features analog inputs and Dante inputs and external I/O control for
remote on/off and fault monitoring.

FROM DRIPPING OR SPASHING.
17. THE MAINS PLUG OF THE POWER SUPPLY
CORD SHALL REMAIN READILY OPERABLE.
MAGNETIC FIELD
CAUTION! All high-gain devices such as preamplifiers
should be installed away from the device. Due to the
high-power density of this amplifier, it has a strong
magnetic field which can induce hum into unshielded
devices that are located nearby. The field is strongest
just above and below the unit. If an equipment rack is
used, we recommend installing the amplifier(s) in the
bottom of the rack and the preamplifier or other
sensitive equipment at the top.
BE AWARE OF THESE SYMBOLS:
The lightning bolt alert is used to inform
the user to the risk of potential electric
shock.
The exclamation point alert is used to
inform the user of
important operating or maintenance
instructions
DO NOT REMOVE TOP OR
BOTTOM COVERS ON THIS DEVICE. NO USER
SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE.
CONTACT QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL FOR
ALL SERVICING MATTERS.
FCC COMPLIANCE NOTICE
This device complies with part 15 of the FCC rules.
Operation is subject to the following
two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful
interference, and (2) this device
must accept any interference received, including
interference that may cause undesired
operation.
CAUTION: Changes or modifications not expressly
approved by the party responsible for compliance
could void the user’s authority to operate the
equipment.
NOTE: This equipment has been tested and found to
comply with the limits for a Class B digital device,
pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are
designed to provide reasonable protection against
harmful interference in a residential installation. This
equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio
frequency energy and, if not installed and used in
accordance with the instruction manual, may cause
harmful interference to radio communications.
However, there is no guarantee that interference will
not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment
does cause harmful interference to radio or television
reception, which can be determined by turning the
equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to
correct the interference by one or more of the
following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and
receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit
different from that to which the
receiver is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV
technician for help

OUT OF THE BOX | FrontPanel
The Amp: Front Panel
Indicator Definitions:
Channel Fault – Indicates the channel has shut down due to protection circuits. Check to make sure the output on
that channel is not shorted. If all channels indicate fault, the power supply has gone into protection. No audio will be
passed until the fault is resolved.
Channel Thermal – Indicates channel is at or close to over temp. When dim, the channel will start to lightly limit the
output. When bright, the channel is heavily limiting the output.
Channel Clip – A red light indicates the channel is at the onset of audible clip on the output. Excessive clipping can
damage the speaker connected to the amplifier. If the LED is Amber, that indicates the channel is limiting.
Signal Presence – This indicator illuminates when there is -40db of input signal present on that assigned output
channel.
Channel Ready – Indicates the channel is ready to pass audio. If this indicator is off, the channel may be in standby
mode or the amplifier DSP is booting up.

GETTING STARTED | OutOfTheBox
Proper Installation
1. The LEA Connect Series is a standard 1U x 19” rack mountable product.
2. Out of the box, the rack ears will mount directly into a standard rack
3. If you wish to mount this under a table or to the wall, the rack ears can be rotated 90 degrees and gives
you the ability to mount the unit to a fixed surface.
4. It is highly recommended you also take advantage of the rear rack ears to properly secure the unit.
Powering On
1. You will notice there are no buttons on the front panel. This is intentional and prevents unwanted
adjustments.
2. To power on the unit, on the back, you will notice an icon that looks like this: . Once you press this
button, you will notice a LED below the button illuminate Blue. The amplifier has now turned on and
has begun its boot sequence.
3. To turn the unit off, press the icon. You will notice the blue LED will change to green. The amplifier
is now in a powered off state.
a. You can also simply remove AC power to the unit to power it down as well. The LED will turn
off completely. When you power the unit back on, it will return to the state it was in when you
powered it off.
4. Factory default settings allow analog 1 to pass to channel 1 output, analog 2 to pass to channel 2 output
and so on.
