LARA is primarily a phenomenal player, Internet radio allows you to listen to any station in the world, in addition it plays without the annoying rattling of classic FM tuners. Thanks to the implementation and design of the switch is also possible not only to use LARA in every room in the house (children’s living rooms, bedrooms, kitchens, bathrooms) but also in waiting rooms, wellness and other areas. Using LARA Dio, you can control all your LARAs from a single driver (i.e. iphone), and the maximum number of controlled devices is unlimited. The application control is very intuitive and it is very easy to store your own favourite stations, which remain available at all times. LARAs’ uniqueness lies in the technical implementation. LARA is equipped directly with an integrated amplifier with an output of 2x10W / 8Ω and offers an excellent solution combined with simple installation. You can enjoy listening to music, whilst you can choose from a variety of speakers. LARA also offers the ability to connect an external amplifier via line output.
