Cinema LA4 DSi LA4 4-Channel Amplifier, US Version
The Cinema LA4 DSi is a professional-grade 4-channel amplifier engineered for studio monitoring, multi-room recording setups, and networked audio distribution where precise signal control and remote management are essential. This 19-inch 2RU rackmount unit delivers networked connectivity alongside analog amplification, making it ideal for production environments where scalable audio routing and centralized control streamline session workflow.
Audio Processing & Signal Quality
Built on 96kHz/32-bit floating-point processing architecture with FIR filtering, LevelMAX™ limiting, 8-channel parametric EQ, and delay capabilities, the LA4 DSi provides comprehensive signal shaping at the amplification stage for transparent monitoring and mix referencing. The unit maintains exceptional signal integrity with >104dB signal-to-noise ratio (A-weighted) and ±0.35% intermodulation distortion, ensuring clean, artifact-free amplification across critical listening sessions and production work.
Networked Control & Connectivity
Network integration supports efficient studio operations: HiQnet connectivity allows remote control and monitoring via HARMAN Audio Architect software over standard TCP/IP, while SNMP connectivity enables integration into larger audio distribution systems and multi-studio environments. The front panel includes an LCD display with signal LEDs, GPIO/AUX port for external control devices, and an encoder for mute and configuration, supporting hands-free and networked monitoring management during recording and mixing sessions.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes the LA4 DSi different from standard power amplifiers?
The LA4 DSi combines 4 channels of amplification with networked HiQnet connectivity and HARMAN Audio Architect software control, allowing remote management and monitoring over TCP/IP. It also includes built-in 8-channel parametric EQ, FIR filtering, delay, and LevelMAX™ limiting at the amplifier stage—features typically found in separate processors.
Can I use this for a smaller venue or mobile rig?
The LA4 DSi is engineered for professional installations and touring systems; it is a 19-inch 2RU rackmount unit designed for integrated control across larger audio distributions. It is not recommended for portable or small-venue use where simplicity and compactness are priorities.
What kind of signal quality should I expect?
The unit maintains >104dB signal-to-noise ratio (A-weighted) and ±0.35% intermodulation distortion, delivering exceptionally clean amplification with minimal noise floor. This level of performance ensures signal integrity even in demanding live and studio applications.
How do I integrate this into my existing system?
The LA4 DSi connects via HiQnet over standard TCP/IP for remote control and SNMP for networked audio distribution. It includes GPIO/AUX ports for external control devices and an LCD display with front-panel encoder for manual configuration and muting.
What processing tools are available?
The amplifier offers 8-channel parametric EQ, FIR filtering, delay capabilities, and LevelMAX™ limiting built on 96kHz/32-bit floating-point processing architecture for comprehensive signal shaping at the amp stage.
Do I pay sales tax on this order?
Sales tax is collected only on orders shipped to California; orders shipped to any other US state are not charged sales tax at checkout when you buy direct from our website. At a typical 7% rate that is an estimated $348 less at checkout than the same listed price on a marketplace, which collects sales tax as the facilitator in most states. Buyers remain responsible for any use tax their state applies. Free US shipping and 30-day returns are included.
