FP10000QSP   LAB GRUPPEN FP10000Q SP AMPLIFIER
A New Benchmark For Touring Amplification Over the past decade, the tight and transparent sound of Lab.gruppen touring amplifiers has earned the praise of renowned FOH engineers and leading sound rental companies worldwide.

FP 10000Q, the flagship four-channel model of new the FP+ Series, continues this tradition. At the core of the FP 10000Q’s performance is the patented Class TD output stage, a breakthrough amplifier topology that approaches the exceptional efficiency of class D while retaining the sonic purity of proven class A/B designs. Further contributing to the remarkable efficiency of the FP 10000Q is a Regulated Switch Mode Power Supply (R.SMPS), which gives the added benefit of stabilizing rail voltages to the output even with wide fluctuations of mains voltage. A highly refined and updated circuit layout optimizes the interaction of R.SMPS and Class TD to produce the extraordinary power density of the FP 10000Q.

To keep its cool under extreme demands, the FP 10000Q relies on Lab.gruppen’s proprietary Intercooler®. This innovation uses thousands of copper fins to multiply the exposed heatsink surface’s rapid heat dissipation. Also, all output devices are mounted transverse to the airflow for uniform cooling. As a result, the FP 10000Q delivers Lab.gruppen’s’ trademark “all the power, all the time” with no degradation of sonic performance.

To maximize headroom in any application, the FP 10000Q offers adjustable input gain along with Lab.gruppen’s exclusive Voltage Peak Limiter (VPL). Adjustable on a per-channel basis, VPL optimizes the output for any load, from a single massive subwoofer to a series of HF compression drivers.

The comprehensive warning and protection features on the FP 10000Q safeguard output circuits and connected loads while also extending amplifier life and minimizing chance of service interruptions.

Whether it’s a matter of faulty wiring, improper use, or extreme ambient temperatures, the FP 10000Q gives clear indication of any problems. Automatic protection measures engage only at critical thresholds. Operating conditions are checked every six seconds and, if a fault is detected, normal operation is resumed when measurements return to nominal.

The FP 10000Q is shipped with a NomadLink® network interface as standard. In conjunction with DeviceControl software, NomadLink® allows monitoring of all key amplifier parameters and remote control of power on/off, channel mutes, and channel solo functions.

(NomadLink® requires the separate NLB 60E NomadLink Bridge and Network Controller).

• Very high power and channel density
The four-channel FP 10000Q delivers a total of 10000 W (4 x 2500 W @ 2 ohms) in only 2U.

• Four-channel flexibility

Four channels in one cabinet increases efficiency, flexibility and value in powering monitor systems, line arrays, and bi- or tri-amped systems. Adjacent channels bridgeable for 2- or 3-channel operation.

• Lab.gruppen sound quality
FP 10000Q amplifiers maintain the impeccable sonic performance standards set by the original fP Series, with the same durability and even greater efficiency.

• NomadLink® network ready
Monitoring and control of key functions accessible via the intuitive DeviceControl software and the robust, daisy-chained NomadLink network.

• Patented Class TD amplifier topology
Road-proven output stage delivers Class A/B audio quality with Class D efficiency

• Regulated Switch Mode Power Supply (R.SMPS)
Output power remains constant even with significant drops in the mains voltage.

• Efficient cooling system
Unique, lightweight Intercooler® copper cooling system dissipates more heat to allow extended peak output

• Adjustable parameters
Selectable Gain, scalable Voltage Peak Limiter (VPL), and bridge-mode operation allow custom configuration for any system or application.

• XLR input connectors

• Heavy duty binding post or Speakon output connectors

• Comprehensive protection and warning
Excessive output current, DC, temperature, very high frequency (VHF), short circuit, open load, mains fuse protection, and soft start.

More about the LM26

The LM 26 is a full-featured, 2-in/6-out stand-alone digital audio loudspeaker processor. Based on the highly acclaimed Lake Processing technology, it provides seamless compatibility with Lab.gruppen’s PLM™ Series Powered Loudspeaker Management™ systems as well as with all Dolby® Lake Processors and earlier versions of the technology, including Mesa Quad™ and Contour™.

The LM 26’s easily programmable EQ and delay capabilities allow quick reconfiguration for use as processor and line driver for self-powered loudspeaker applications as well as for systems using separate power amplifiers.

In step with the flexible Lake Processing technology implemented in the PLM Series, the LM 26 will accept audio signals as analog, AES digital, or via Audinate’s advanced Dante digital audio network at 48 kHz and 96 kHz sampling rates.

Automatic input priority switching may be enabled for fail-safe signal redundancy. Additionally, the unit can function as both an input matrix mixer and Dante break-in and break-out box.

Exclusive Lake processing features incorporated in the LM 26 include Raised Cosine Equalization; linear phase and classical crossovers; and LimiterMax peak and RMS limiters. The Super Module capability allows flexible grouping of processor channels across separate hardware frames, including prior Lake products and PLM Series units.

All functions are controlled via wired or wireless networking by the Windows®-based Lake Controller software application. The Lake Controller user interface is optimized for use on a tablet computer to allow easy system adjustments from any point in the venue.

A universal power supply with detachable mains cable allows worldwide use.

Lake Digital Loudspeaker Processor
LM44  LAKE DIGITAL AUDIO LOUDSPEAKER PROCESSOR
Identical in many respects to the LM 26 Digital Audio Loudspeaker Processor, the LM 44 is distinguished primarily by a
different input/output configuration. The LM 44 provides four analog input and four analog outputs, in contrast to the LM
26’s 2-in/6-out. In addition, the LM 44 accommodates 8-in/8-out AES3 and 4-in/8-out Dante digital audio transport. The
LM 44 benefits from the latest implementation of Lake’s iconic ‘Mesa EQ’ configuration, utilising 4 Mesa modules, each
with an independent input mixer and output signal processing chain.

With this configuration, the LM 44 is ideally suited for a wider number of different FOH applications, including as a mixmatrix and full system EQ – sitting between a mixer and virtually any high-end performance loudspeaker system – switching between consoles on large events, inserted EQ for monitor systems, FOH to stage digital transmission, line driver for self-powered systems, and as a Dante break-in/break-out box.

With its flexible 4 * 4 input configuration, one or more LM 44 units can replace the now-discontinued Dolby Lake Processor in most applications. It also offers a cost-effective, scalable alternative to other larger and more expensive
processors in situations when only a 4 x 4 analog I/O configuration (or multiples of this) is required.

Additionally, LM 44 can be operated in Contour mode configuration (two contour modules) allowing for utilisation as a
loudspeaker crossover processor, much like the intended operation of LM 26. Inputs that are not routed to the processing
modules (in each mode) may be passed through to the output router. As with the LM 26, all three signal types – Dante,
AES and analog – are maintained simultaneously, with user-prioritised automatic failover and dual redundancy, eliminating single point of failure.

The LM 44 integrates fully into all existing Lake system inventories, including PLM Series and LM 26, as well as with
Dolby Lake Processors and all other legacy Lake devices – all controlled together via Lake Controller software, providing
unrivalled flexibility and ease of use for existing Lake users.
