LEA Professional has named Jands as its Australian distributor. The agreement aims to see LEA’s Network Connect series of professional amplifiers and Dante Connect series more accessible to local integrators and AV professionals.

The Network Connect and Dante Connect series feature cloud-based remote control, monitoring, notifications and more via any internet-enabled device, supporting Dante and AES67 connectivity for modern networked AV systems.

Jands chief executive and managing director Phil Muffet says the partnership aligns with the shift toward remotely managed, networked AV environments: “LEA Professional’s approach to amplification aligns closely with the way consultants and integrators are designing, deploying and supporting systems today.”

LEA Professional amplifiers are equipped with 96kHz DSP, LEA Cloud connectivity, WebUI and third-party API control. Additional features include real-time load monitoring, channel-selectable Lo-Z/70V/100V, smart power bridge technology, event and fault monitoring, high-efficiency power design, over 3,000 speaker tuning presets and SharkWare amplifier control software.

“Jands’ deep understanding of the Australian market and strong relationships across the region will help us better serve customers and accelerate adoption of our solutions,” LEA Professional vice president of sales Scott Robbins says.
