Description

The LEA Amplifier Connect Series Crestron Home Driver delivers a robust network interface for LEA Professional’s powerful amplifier family. By utilizing the native Crestron Home™ AV Switcher framework, this driver automates complex audio routing while providing the reliability required for both commercial and premium residential installations.

Advanced Integration Features:

  • Broad Input Support: Effortlessly manage both Analog and Dante input sources across your network.

  • Precision Audio Control: Command volume, mute, and power states for every zone with instant, bi-directional feedback.

  • Automated Framework Logic: The Crestron Home ecosystem automatically switches sources to their designated areas based on your room assignments.

Technical Note: Stereo Routing

This driver manages audio channels exclusively in stereo pairs. Due to the operational logic of the Crestron Home framework, the driver does not expose individual mono channel control or custom bussing.

  • Example: If you route ‘Analog Stereo Channels 5+6’ to ‘Room 2,’ the driver automatically routes LEA Input Channel 5 to LEA Output Channel 3 and LEA Input Channel 6 to LEA Output Channel 4.

Wide Model Compatibility: This driver supports an extensive list of LEA hardware, including:

  • 84/88 Series: 84, 84D, 88, 88D

  • 164/168 Series: 164, 164D, 168, 168D

  • 352/354 Series: 352, 354, 354D, 354D-G

  • 1504 Series: 1504-G, 1504D-G

Availability: This is a free driver. You do not need to purchase a license. You can find it directly within the Crestron Home Setup App or on the official Crestron Driver Portal.

  • It is recommended that you save a configuration or golden configuration before installing any driver.

    • You can not control individual channels with this driver. This driver was designed to control only pairs of channels. The reason for this is because in a residential project (which is what Crestron Home is used for), you would normally be using stereo pairs and would want to route stereo. The driver has hard coded the pairs as follows:
    ChannelsStereo Input and Output
    1 and 21
    3 and 42
    5 and 63
    7 and 84

  • This specific use case is unfortunately not supported. Crestron Home has a limitation when it comes to 3rd party AV Switcher drivers. CH does not give you the ability to drive multiple outputs on an AV Switcher driver even if you land the same zone on multiple outputs. It will just force you to select a “default” zone to use. The best option is to wait for LEA to release updated firmware that will add an option to buss arbitrary channels together. It is best for you to contact LEA and voice your request and importance of the feature to them directly so they know you the customer wants it.
