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 14000, the new flagship model of the FP+ Series, advances this
tradition by further augmenting effective power output to effortlessly
handle extreme low-frequency loads. The Regulated Switch Mode
Power Supply (R.SMPS) has been updated to provide more sustained
high power during extended bursts of low frequency content, while
at the same time ensuring stable rail voltages even with wide fluctua-
tions of external mains voltage. The forceful, high-current (90 A peak)
output stage relies on Lab.gruppen's patented Class TD topology, a
breakthrough in amplifier technology that approaches the efficiency
of Class D while retaining the sonic purity of proven Class B designs.
A highly refined and efficient circuit layout further optimizes the inter-
action of R.SMPS and Class TD to produce the unprecedented power
density of the FP 14000.
To keep its cool under extreme demands, the FP 14000 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 transverse to
the airflow for uniform cooling. As a result, the FP 14000 delivers
Lab.gruppen's' trademark "all the power, all the time" with no
degradation of sonic performance.
▸ 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
ration for any system or application.
▸ XLR input and link connectors
▸ Heavy-duty binding posts
▸ Comprehensive protection and warning – Excessive output
current, DC, high temperature, very high frequency (VHF), short
circuit, open load, mains fuse protection, and soft start.
) – Output
To maximize headroom in any application, the FP 14000 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 14000 safeguard output circuits and connected loads while also
extending amplifier life and minimizing the chance of service interup-
tions. Whether it's a matter of faulty wiring, improper use, or extreme
ambient temperatures, the FP 14000 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 14000 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).
