LEA Professional Connect 352 2-Channel 350W Networked Power Amplifier 70V/100V

LEA Professional Connect 352: Two Channels, Serious Power

The LEA Professional Connect 352 is a two-channel networked install power amplifier that delivers 350 watts per channel, trading the high channel count of the smaller Connects for real muscle on just two outputs. It is the amp for a venue that has one or two zones that genuinely need to fill a room. A worship space driving a main foreground system and a lobby feed, a lecture hall covering the room and an overflow area, a bar-and-patio where each side wants power to spare. When the design calls for two strong channels rather than many light ones, the 352 is the natural pick. It concentrates the Connect platform's smarts behind a pair of high-output channels.

350 Watts a Side, and What That Buys

Two channels at 350 watts give each zone the dynamic range to stay clean at real sound-reinforcement levels, not just background volume. A house of worship can drive a distributed foreground array across the nave on one channel while the second handles the lobby and cry room. The headroom keeps speech intelligible and music full even as the room fills for a service. Because the power supply includes Power Factor Correction, that current is delivered efficiently and cleanly from the wall. This is a step from background audio into genuine reinforcement for one or two spaces.

The Analog Choice for a Two-Zone Reinforcement System

The 352 is the analog-input sibling of the Dante-equipped 352D: it accepts balanced analog on Euroblock and leaves audio distribution to your cabling. A single worship room or venue fed from a mixer's analog outputs has no need to transport audio over the network, so the analog path keeps the system straightforward. The integrator patches two analog feeds and manages everything else remotely. Save the Dante model for multi-room campuses that must move audio across the network; for a focused two-channel system, the analog 352 gives the same control with a simpler signal path. Transport is the deciding factor, and a two-zone room rarely needs it.

70V, 100V, or Low-Z on Both Outputs

Each channel independently selects a 70V or 100V distributed line or a low-impedance load, transformerless for efficiency and control of the speaker. A worship space can run a 70V delay line down a long nave on one channel and a low-Z main pair on the other. The 350-watt drive gives constant-voltage lines the headroom to cover a large room without strain. Mixing a distributed system and a discrete pair no longer needs two amplifiers. Both output philosophies live in one 1U box.

DSP for Rooms That Have to Sound Right

Both channels run a 96 kHz Analog Devices DSP chain with input routing, crossovers, an 8-band parametric EQ, delay, and adjustable speaker limiters. In a live, reverberant sanctuary, the EQ and delay tune intelligibility while the limiter protects the array during peaks. Crossover filters let the amp integrate a distributed system without an outboard processor. Tuning is stored in the amp, so a volunteer running Sunday service never touches it. The processing that a two-zone reinforcement system needs is built in.

Cloud Control the Volunteer Never Sees

Connect over the built-in Wi-Fi access point, the building's Wi-Fi, or a wired FAST Ethernet drop, and manage the amp from any browser. The IoT-enabled Connect platform lets an integrator monitor load and receive notifications remotely, so a house of worship gets professional oversight without on-site staff. Levels and mutes can be locked down for volunteers and adjusted remotely by the installer. Real-time load monitoring flags a fault before the next service, not during it. For a room run by non-technical staff, that remote safety net is exactly the value.
