Input & routing
LUCIA offers simple but effective I/O across the range. More
flexible input and routing is possible on the advanced ‘Matrix’
models, with routing software-configured (connection by
USB to laptop) or switchable by 3rd party wall panel control
(via GPIO). For typical examples of routing possibilities and
real-world applications, see pages 8-21.
• 2 balanced inputs (Euroblock/Phoenix connector) directly to 2
amplifier channels (‘base’ models)
• 4 balanced inputs with 4x4 Mix Matrix to 2 amplifier channels
and processed line-level outputs (‘Matrix’ models)
• RCA unbalanced inputs for channel 1 and 2 shared with the
balanced input connector – for more typical user input options
(iPod, laptop, etc)
Low-impedance amplification
There are many advantages to Lo-Z audio systems compared
to constant voltage ‘distributed systems’. LUCIA harnesses all
of these to give you the best sounding solution in the most cost-
efficient package.
• Better sound
• Delivers full performance potential of amplifier and
loudspeakers
• Improved LF/bass performance
• Greater flexibility
• Local zone control and I/O
• Easily scalable with additional infrastructure
• Cost-efficient
• No need for long cable runs and conduit/trunking
(required for 70 V / 100 V)
• Save cost on loudspeakers without transformers
Remote control
All LUCIA models benefit from GPIO, allowing remote
control/switching between inputs (if 2 mono sources on ‘base’
models), making it easy to integrate with 3rd party components
such as wall panel controls, or as part of a larger system with
paging control or emergency notification (such as in classroom
or retail outlet in a larger mall). Official accessories are planned
and should be available soon.
Easy configuration
Thanks to the integrated DSP featuring multi-band compression
and look-ahead limiting, all LUCIA models come ready optimized
out of the box, making it easy to get great sounding results.
For the LUCIA ‘Matrix’ models, a software configurator eases
the process of commissioning each device in the system. All
DSP parameters (including per-channel parametric EQ and
high-pass filter) and routing can be controlled with ease using
this powerful but easy-to-use application.
• Connection between laptop and LUCIA via USB
• Available for Windows and Mac
• Presets available for common loudspeakers including
Tannoy’s CMS, CVS, DVS and OCV Series’
• Program multiple LUCIA in a single system
