The PLM 10000Q, the first in Lab.gruppen’s PLM Series, combines cutting-edge technologies from two of the leading innovators in the live event production industry: Dolby Lake and Lab.gruppen. These technologies have been closely and intelligently integrated to add up to much more than the sum of their parts. The result is a new concept in professional audio: Powered Loudspeaker Management (PLM). PLM brings together the ground-breaking signal processing that has made Dolby Lake a touring standard worldwide. And an amplifier platform based on the extraordinary power density, sonic purity, and proven reliability of Lab.gruppen’s flagship FP+ Series. Conceived from the outset as a comprehensive drive system for any type of loudspeaker, the PLM 10000Q seamlessly integrates the functions of crossover, delay, equalization, limiting, audio networking, and power amplification. It adds up to an unprecedented level of user control, reconfiguration flexibility, and precise system tuning for optimum performance. In addition, revolutionary new load verification and performance monitoring features assure extended reliability for all system components, loudspeakers included. Powered Loudspeaker Management: Total Loudspeaker Control For forward-thinking rental companies and high-end installation designers, the PLM Series brings a host of key technical and operational benefits. For forward-thinking rental companies and high-end installation designers, the key benefits of the PLM™ Series include: Optimum sound for greater audience (and client) satisfaction Better inventory utilization for reduced operating costs Faster set-up for greater touring efficiency A higher level of reliability through reduced errors and intelligent preventive maintenance A greater long-term return on your investment All of these benefits are accompanied by the audio quality and controllability that’s expected of two of the industry’s leading audio innovators, Lab.gruppen and Dolby® Lake® For assured reliability, the PLM 10000Q is built and tested – with meticulous attention to detail – exclusively by Lab.gruppen in Sweden.

Crucially, the PLM Series is also a top-notch performer on the bottom line. Powered Loudspeaker Management™ has clear advantages over conventional amplifier / processing / system control solutions when it comes to both sonic performance and ease of use. Even better, over the long run, it will amply reward users concerned with the realities of running a business. PLM-based systems are highly competitive when you consider the combined costs of conventional power amplification, signal distribution, and system drive processing. Initial Cost Analysis In terms of initial investment, systems based on Powered Loudspeaker Management compare favorably with those employing separate devices. Furthermore, after factoring in smaller equipment racks, less wiring, and reduced labor time for system configuration, the initial investment figures for the PLM Series become even more impressive. Yet beyond those benefits, it’s primarily after putting the PLM 10000Q into service that the cumulative savings start to boost your bottom line. Reduced Operating Expenses The PLM Series is designed for the realities of touring sound, where time, size and weight are money. It’s a business where inadvertent errors — often committed in haste — can prove costly, and where equipment sitting idle in the warehouse shrinks the return on investment. The PLM Series reins in operating costs across the board: High power density reduces rack size and weight, which in turn reduces labor and transport costs Inventory utilization is maximized: one rack can be reconfigured for any FOH array or monitor application with a click on a preset button. Loads can be verified with LoadSmart™ in seconds, saving time and pinpointing possible wiring errors – ensuring what’s connected is what should be SpeakerSafe™ provides detailed, critical information about system-wide driver performance IsoFloat™ ground isolation saves time chasing down ground loops Dante™ self-configuring digital audio networking saves time in initial setup, and saves on transport and labor costs compared to conventional copper snakes Leveraging a Prior Lab.gruppen Investment Customers planning to replace existing Lab.gruppen amplifiers (as well as conventional processing and drive systems) with PLM Series may be surprised by the high residual value of their prior investment. Lab.gruppen amplifiers are in high demand worldwide, and Lab.gruppen will assist you in selling your existing inventory through the Certified Pre-Owned Program.   FP+ Series: The Benchmark for Touring Power With the FP+ Series, Lab.gruppen takes to the road with more power, increased channel density, and enhanced configuration flexibility. The bottom line is greater return on your amplifier investment. More Power. Less Weight. Zero Sonic Compromises...Built in Sweden to Tour the World The Lab.gruppen FP+ Series was designed and engineered to achieve unprecedented channel and power density. Simply put, FP+ amplifiers allow you to configure racks of any size – for any mobile reinforcement application – using fewer, smaller, and lighter amplifiers. A very few compact racks, each easily maneuvered by a single person, now can power an arena-sized system with headroom to spare. Each FP+ amplifier is 2U high and weighs a mere 12 kg (less than 27 lbs). Yet each produces nearly twice the clean, sustained output power of equivalent predecessor fP Series models. To achieve this extreme channel density and power-to-size ratio, Lab.gruppen engineers refined and upgraded two proprietary technologies: the regulated switch-mode power supply (R.SMPS™) and the patented Class TD® output stage. Both are incorporated in all four FP+ Series amplifiers. Working together, this new generation of proprietary circuits produces more power from a smaller package while at the same time maintaining Lab.gruppen’s peerless reputation for sonic excellence. The highs stay crisp and transparent. The mids are warm and natural. And the tight low end delivers visceral impact. You will notice the difference immediately, as will audiences, on-stage performers (when powering monitors), and the event promoters as well. 2x2 + 2x4 = Maximum Flexibility... Reduce Your Rackspace Requirements A bridgeable two-channel amplifier still provides the optimum solution when you need maximum power reserves from one chassis – as when driving massive subwoofers, for example. For these applications, FP+ Series offers the potent FP 7000 and the awe-inspiring FP 13000. However, when it comes to powering multiple mid- and high-frequency drivers, as is the norm for line arrays and extensive stage monitoring systems, four channel amplifiers simply make more sense. You have more discrete channels for more flexibility, yet both space and weight are drastically reduced. The FP+ Series meets this need with two ultrahigh-power, four-channel models: FP 10000Q and the FP 6000Q. FP+ four channel amplifiers are ideally suited to the demanding requirements of modern sound reinforcement systems, and of line arrays in particular. With the extraordinarily high power of the FP 10000Q you can run cabinets in parallel down to 2 ohms in stadium-sized systems and still enjoy generous headroom reserves. The same benefits apply when using the FP 6000Q for medium-sized line arrays. By stocking your racks with higher-power two- and four-channel FP+ amplifiers, your total amplifier count often can be cut in half – or better – when compared to equivalent configurations with other amplifiers, and still with headroom to spare. A few small racks with a total amplifier weight of well under 100 kg can supply ample power for one side of an arena-sized system. When you factor in the size and weight reductions on racks for both sides of the system, the savings in labor and truck space become worthy of serious consideration. More Power Per Lb or Kg, or Per Pound, Dollar, Euro or Yen Another noteworthy benefit is the cost savings on initial investment. Although power reserve have nearly doubled relative to the predecessor fP Series, end user costs per amplifier compare quite favorably. The extra value afforded by the high power density of the FP+ Series was achieved by advanced design and diligent engineering. Although some internal components of the FP+ Series are indeed more costly, the actual component count is substantially less than many lower-power amplifiers. That translates into greater cost-efficiency in production, a bonus that is passed along the end-user. With Lab.gruppen’s FP+ Series, you get more power per pound or kilogram AND more power per pound, dollar, euro, or yen. Praise for the FP+ Series “Since we first started using Lab.gruppen amps, we knew they were something special. We never hesitated putting the new product out with one of our premiere clients. The Black Eyed Peas show demands all the power available from the monitors and PA, so it seemed like a perfect venue for these new Class TD® amplifiers from Lab.gruppen. The configuration of the new FP 10000 four-channel amp presents a very unique and cabinet-friendly power footprint, and the FP 13000 is (to the best of my knowledge) the most powerful amplifier in the world. Given the cost and truck space and fuel issues in our industry today, the value of the compact size and light weight of the new FP+ amps cannot be underestimated. Lab.gruppen amps power all of our touring systems, and the FP+ models will be welcomed with open arms as we continue to expand our services to keep pace with the demand.” Dirk Schubert, Owner, Schubert Systems Group (SSG) Praise for the fP Series: “At the ML Group we power all of our EAW and L-Acoustics systems solely with Lab.gruppen amplifiers, because they are the best on the market. Lab.gruppen products have been an excellent investment because they sound great, and because they are reliable and lightweight. Lab.gruppen is a manufacturer that works closely with its customers and understands their needs. I don’t know of another amplifier manufacturer that comes close…” Gary Marks, ML Executives “When was the last time you found a second-hand Lab.gruppen amplifier? We’ve had some of ours for 15 years — they go on forever and never fail!”...Tim Boyle, Concert Sound Harness The Power of FP+ With NomadLink® and DeviceControl Lab.gruppen’s robust NomadLink network, in conjunction with companion DeviceControl PC software, gives you one-click control of key amplifier functions while keeping close tabs on all critical operating parameters. The NomadLink network can connect your laptop PC to as many as 960 Lab.gruppen FP+ Series amplifiers. Every FP+ Series amplifier equipped with a NomadLink module as standard, making it DeviceControl-ready. Add the optional NLB 60E NomadLink Bridge & Network Controller and your network can be up and running in a matter of minutes. To create a NomadLink network, you simply daisy-chain the In and Out network ports of your amplifiers by snapping in standard Cat-5 cables. Then you connect the first and last amplifiers to the network ports on NLB 60E to form a closed loop. No custom wiring and no software configuration are required. NomadLink is a robust, fully redundant network that is essentially bulletproof. Also, because NomadLink employs a phantom-powered loop (DC power from the NLB 60 to all amplifier modules), you will maintain full network communication even if an amplifier in the system should power off accidentally. Local control and Ethernet extension The NLB 60E functions as stand-alone unit when all you need is basic monitoring and control. Large front panel keys and displays let you power-up and power-down all networked amplifiers, and provide an on-the-spot check for fault indications. However, most users also will want use the NLB 60E as an Ethernet-to-NomadLink bridge in order to access the enhanced feature set of the DeviceControl software. DeviceControl is a powerful tool for real-time monitoring and control as well as offline system configuration. The flexible GUI allows multi-level monitoring of amplifier status, from at-a-glance fault monitoring for an entire system down to detailed status reports on one selected amplifier channel. Channels may be freely configured in groups for simultaneous on/off, mute or solo commands. Also, a handy “match” feature allows a preconfigured system setup to be compared to the actual setup downloaded from the network, ensuring that the intended design was properly configured as a physical system. Options open, now and in the future NomadLink is a robust network dedicated exclusively to monitoring and control of Lab.gruppen amplifiers. It works alongside your existing drive-chain DSP units and signal distribution systems – and their software control programs, if any – without rendering anything obsolete. You do not have to alter, reprogram, reconfigure or replace anything to accommodate NomadLink. When you invest in the FP+ Series and NomadLink, you are not locked into one proprietary system, format, or fixed AD/DA conversion standard. You are free to continue using your existing inventory of drive DSP units as well as your digital or analog snake systems. You can upgrade as you please, whenever costs and technological advances suit your particular needs. You can be confident that your FP+ amplifiers and NomadLink network will remain fully compatible at each stage of your future upgrading program. * If all those amplifiers all happen to be FP 13000s, then indeed you could wield the power of – to be exact – 12,480,000 watts. And if this system is ever created, please notify the Guinness Book of Records immediately! Every FP+ Series amplifier is designed, engineered, assembled, and rigorously tested at Lab.gruppen’s manufacturing facility in Kungsbacka, Sweden. The uncompromising dedication to quality and craftsmanship is evident in every detail. Regulated Switch Mode Power Supply (R.SMPS™) Lab.gruppen pioneered the use of switch mode power supplies in power amplifiers, and the latest generation of this technology plays a key role in enabling the extreme power density of the FP+ Series. Precise regulation maintains constant voltage on the internal rails, ensuring full output power and undistorted sound even when the mains voltage drops as much as 20% below nominal. The FP+ power supply transformer incorporates an enhanced ferrite core which, compared to iron core transformers, dramatically reduces weight and contributes to overall efficiency. Class TD® output stage Lab.gruppen’s FP+ Series amplifiers share an output stage that is literally in a Class by itself: the patented Class TD. A breakthrough design that occupied Lab.gruppen’s co-founder Kenneth Andersson for nearly two years, Class TD combines the high efficiency of a digital Class D with the sonic purity of classic Class B designs. The power supply rails precisely track the audio signal at all times, providing the required voltage plus additional headroom. This process is highly efficient, with only a tiny portion of the supplied voltage emitted as heat in the output stage. The audio path itself remains entirely in the analog domain: it never enters the switching portion of the circuit, and therefore is not subject to the ripple effects of the extreme filtering required by the PWM Class D approach. Class TD is bridgeable, highly reliable, and maintains a flat response with complex loads as low as 2 ohms nominal. Also, it does not interfere with RF equipment such as wireless (radio) microphones. Intercooler® for efficient, uniform cooling The compact and ultra-efficient Intercooler uses thousands of tiny cooper cooling fins to increase exposure of the heat sink to the cooling air flow. Twin variable-speed fans respond to temperature sensors, forcing air over the Intercooler fins in a front-to-rear flow. All output devices are mounted transverse to the airflow, so the cooling effect is uniform. There are no “end of tunnel” output transistors subject to greater warming and, consequently, possible premature failure. Configurable for any signal, any load Each FP+ amplifier offers an eight position input gain switch to optimize performance with any input signal. In addition, each channel incorporates Lab.gruppen’s exclusive Voltage Peak Limiter (VPL) circuit. VPL precisely tailors output for any type of load, from a single massive 2-ohm subwoofer to a series of 16-ohm mid- or high-frequency drivers. Working in concert, adjustable input gain and VPL optimizes each channel for maximum headroom regardless of input signal dynamics or load impedances. A full suite of protection features Lab.gruppen’s FP+ Series incorporates comprehensive warning and protection features to protect the amplifier and any connected loudspeaker drivers. Front panel indicators and the DeviceControl GUI give clear warnings when any potential problems are detected. Protection measures are enabled only when critical thresholds are passed: measurements are re-checked every few seconds, and normal operation resumes automatically when nominal conditions are restored. The complete protection/warning suite includes: DC at output, short circuit, excessive output current, sustained very high frequency (VHF), and open load. The FP+ Series also includes features to guard against inadvertent tripping of the mains fuse or external circuit breakers, either during a performance or at start-up. While in operation, a Power Average Limiter (PAL) constantly monitors the current-drawing relationship between the power supply and the mains inlet. If conditions are detected where the power amplifier could draw more than the mains inlet can supply, PAL limits current draw to prevent power interruption. Additionally, a soft-start circuit limits initial current draw when amplifier is turned on. Powered by eBay Turbo Lister The free listing tool.
