The Linea Research 88 C20 is the flagship eight-channel installation amplifier in the 88C Series, delivering 1,500W per channel for a total of 12kW from a single 2U chassis. Engineered for the most demanding fixed-install applications – large venues, arenas, performing arts centres, and high-output distributed systems – the 88 C20 combines exceptional power density with eight independently controllable outputs, 96kHz DSP, constant-voltage line support, and comprehensive remote management.

Installation Integration
Designed for permanent installation with full remote management via Linea Research SE System Engineer software over Ethernet. Third-party control systems connect via TCP/IP, RS232, or RS485. Comprehensive relay and contact closure ports allow integration with building management and fire alarm systems. The tamper-proof front panel provides status verification without exposing controls to unauthorised adjustment.
