A 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 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 B designs. Further contri-
buting 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 thou-
sands of copper fins to multiply the exposed heatsink surface’s
rapid heat dissipation. Also, all output devices are mounted trans-
verse 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 opti-
mizes 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 inter-
ruptions. Whether it’s a matter of faulty wiring, improper use, or ex-
treme ambient temperatures, the FP 10000Q gives clear indication of
any problems. Automatic protection measures engage only at critical
thresholds. Operating conditions are re-checked every six seconds
and, if a fault is detected, normal operation is resumed when mea-
surements return to nominal.
The FP 10000Q is shipped with a NomadLink network interface as
standard. In conjunction with DeviceControl software, or the leading
third party control platforms, NomadLink network 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 & 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 bridge-
able 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.
