    This manual was created for the E Series E 12:2, E 8:2 and E 4:2 amplifier models. Any references to “E Series” in this manual refer to all models in the range.
  • Page 7: Amplifier Sensitivity / Gain

    5. Introduction 5.2.2. Amplifier sensitivity / gain For ease of use in system integration, E Series have been designed with a fixed sensitivity of 4 dBu. Each model offers two operational modes individually selectable per channel: * “70 V” – Optimized for constant voltage systems but also can be used when load impedance is 8 ohms or higher. Input signal of 4 dBu produces 70.7 Vrms output, for gain of 35.2 dB.

    6. Unpacking and visual checks Every Lab.gruppen amplifier is carefully tested and inspected before leaving the factory and should arrive in perfect condition. If any damage is discovered, please notify the shipping carrier immediately. Save the packing materials for the carrier’s inspection and for any future shipping.

    9. Operating voltage 9. Operating voltage All E Series amplifiers have a universal power supply that accepts mains voltages from 100-240 V @ 50 or 60 Hz. The amplifier requires 85 V to start, but will remain in service with mains voltage dips down to 60 V; however, power output will be limited if it’s less than 100 V.
