The CS88D is an 8-channel professional amplifier delivering 80 watts per channel, ideal for small to medium-scale installations. Part of the Dante CONNECTSERIES, the world’s first IoT-enabled professional amplifiers, it offers channel-selectable Hi-Z (70V or 100V) or Lo-Z outputs for maximum installation flexibility.

Flexible Network and Audio Connectivity
The CS88D connects via three options: the built-in Wi-Fi Access Point, the venue’s existing Wi-Fi network, or FAST Ethernet LAN using Cat5 or Cat6 cables. Featuring Cloud connectivity, the CS88D allows remote control, monitoring, notifications, and system management from any device via the Leaprofessional.cloud platform.

Professional-Grade Audio Features

  • Analog Inputs and Dante Network Inputs for flexible audio routing

  • External I/O Control for remote on/off and fault monitoring

  • 8 independent amplifier channels with Hi-Z/Lo-Z selection

  • Perfect for multi-zone audio installations and modern commercial environments

The CS88D combines networked control, Dante audio integration, and professional amplifier performance in a single IoT-enabled solution, providing installers and AV professionals with ultimate flexibility and monitoring capabilities.
