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 13000, one of the highest power models of the FP+ Series, con-
tinues this tradition. At the core of the FP 13000'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. Further contributing to the remark-
able efficiency of the FP 13000 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 13000.
To keep its cool under extreme demands, the FP 13000 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 13000 delivers
Lab.gruppen's' trademark "all the power, all the time" with no
degradation of sonic performance.
▸ Efficient cooling system – Unique, lightweight Intercooler
per 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 post output connectors
▸ Comprehensive protection and warning – Excessive output
current, DC, high temperature, very high frequency (VHF), short
circuit, open load, mains fuse protection, and soft start.

To maximize headroom in any application, the FP 13000 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 13000 safeguard output circuits and connected loads while also
extending amplifier life and minimizing the chance of service inter-
ruptions. Whether it's a matter of faulty wiring, improper use, or
extreme ambient temperatures, the FP 13000 gives clear indica-
tion 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 measurements return to nominal.
The FP 13000 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).
