C 10:4X
Technical Data
C Series: Dedicated Installation Amplifiers
▸ Four channels in 2U – High channel density reduces space
requirements and installation time
▸ High continuous output power of 250 W per channel
at 70 V, 4 ohms, 8 ohms, and 16 ohms*
▸ All channels individually selectable for lo-Z or hi-Z
Loudspeakers (2 ohm – 16 ohm) and distributed systems can be
connected to the same unit
▸ Bridged operation – Channel pairs bridgeable for increased
output or for driving 100 V systems
▸ Patented output stage based on Class D topology
▸ High ef ciency for lower thermal stress
An Installation Amplier without Compromise
Lab.gruppen ampliers have earned an enviable worldwide
reputation for sonic excellence and rock-solid durability in touring
sound applications. These same qualities are now available for a
broad range of installed sound applications in the C 10:4X amplier.
By offering an unmatched combination of channel density, operating
efciency and conguration exibility, the C 10:4X presents convin cing performance and cost-saving advantages. Applications include
primary systems for theme parks, shopping malls, airports, hotels and
restaurants as well as auxiliary systems for performance venues,
houses of worship and numerous other installed sound applications.
To achieve higher channel density without compromising performance, Lab.gruppen engineers developed a new output stage
design. Based on a patented Class D circuit topology, these output
stages produce sustained high power levels with very low distortion
while maintaining efciency levels of near 90%. A new universal
switching power supply employs Power Factor Correction (PFC)
to stabilize current draw, and it accepts any mains voltage from
65 – 265 V (+/- 10%) @ 50 Hz or 6 0 Hz through the appropriate
IEC cord.
The C 10:4X includes unique features which enable each unit – or
even each channel – to be congured for a specic application or
load condition. Input gain is selectable in two- channel groups, and
a 35 Hz high pass lter may be inserted. All channels are bridgeable
in pairs, and Lab.gruppen’s exclusive Voltage Peak Limiter (VPL) feature allows each channel to be individually optimized for the reactive
characteristics of the connected load.
▸ General Purpose Input/Output (GPIO) – Compatible with
third-party control systems
▸ NomadLink® network ready
▸ Universal Power Factor Corrected PSU with IEC inlet
▸ Efcient cooling – Dual variable speed fans and parallel airow
over output devices provide uniform cooling
▸ Comprehensive circuit protection and fault indication
▸ Phoenix-style input connectors and barrier strip output
connectors
For comprehensive remote monitoring and control, the C 10:4X
includes NomadLink
NLB 60E NomadLink
linked PC. With NomadLink
via DeviceControl software, and remote control of channel mute
and power on/off is under network control. Alternatively, the GPIO
facilities allow access to key amplier functions via third-party
remote control systems.
To ensure a long and trouble -free service life, the C 10:4X
incorporates extensive features to safeguard internal circuits and
connected loads. Protection and warning circuits prevent damage
or service interruptions due to excessive current, DC at output,
over-temperature, non- musical VHF (very high frequencies), and
open load conditions. In addition, soft-start and PSU current limiting protect the mains supply from interruptions due to tripped circuit
breakers or blown mains fuses.
