LabGruppen FLC-LR User Manual

Passion, innovation and Swedish craftsmanship

In 1979, Kenneth Andersson and Dan Bavholm established Lab.gruppen while working out of a cramped electronics repair shop in Kungsbacka, Sweden. With a knack for creative circuit design and a passion for better sound, they set about

developing new audio products – beginning with guitar ampliers – that soon evolved into highly regarded professional power ampliers. Within a remarkably short time, Lab.gruppen had built a loyal customer base among leading Swedish

sound rental companies.

Not content with merely rening existing designs, the founders continually pushed the envelope of audio amplier design.

New technologies boosted output power while at the same time reducing weight and improving reliability under stress. Noteworthy among these developments were the patented Class TD® output stage, Regulated Switch Mode Power Supply (R.SMPS™), the Intercooler® heat dispersion system, and innovative limiter circuits that tailor amplier output parameters for optimum performance with the connected load.

Unrelenting quality standards

Within a decade, Lab.gruppen had expanded to become a major supplier of power amplifiers throughout Europe, and started making significant inroads into the world market. Demand often threatened to outstrip supply, but quality control standards never were compromised in order to increase production levels. With every new product, and at every stage of expansion, Lab.gruppen took pride in maintaining the highest levels of traditional Swedish craftsmanship. Only after a larger and highly efficient manufacturing facility – still in Kungsbacka – came online was product distribution fully expanded worldwide.

Lab.gruppen continued to build on its foundation in touring sound applications with the pristine sound and bulletproof reliability of the fP Series. With introduction of the FP+ Series Lab.gruppen dramatically boosted power density and added compatibility with NomadLink network control.

Responding to increasing demand from the systems integration market, Lab.gruppen introduced the C Series, a range of multi-channel units designed and fitted for installation applications – also featuring NomadLink® control.

Lab.gruppen + Lake®: The ultimate in power and control

In 200 6, Dolby® Laboratories and Lab.gruppen announced an agreement to incorporate Lake Processing into the forthcoming PLMTM Series of Powered Loudspeaker ManagementTM systems. The first Lab.gruppen product to incorporate Lake processing, the PLM 10000Q, was introduced in 2007. When Dolby decided to exit the live sound market, Lab.gruppen acquired both the Lake trademarks and exclusive rights for use of Dolby Lake Processor technology for the touring and permanent sound reinforcement markets. Both divisions are now headquartered in Kungsbacka.

Cutting edge amplifier development

Lab.gruppen power amplifiers and PLM Series Powered Loudspeaker Management systems have earned worldwide recognition for outstanding sound quality and remarkable durability in both touring and installed applications. At the core of this enviable reputation is Lab.gruppen’s commitment to innovation, firmly established by the company founders and continuing with today’s extensive R&D department. Notable technology advances include:

Class TD output stage

A patented breakthrough that occupied co-founder Kenneth Andersson for two years, Class TD combines the efficiency of digital Class D topologies with the sonic purity of Class B designs. The audio path remains in the analog domain: it never enters the switching portion of the circuit, and is therefore free from filtering ripple effects. Class TD is bridgeable and maintains a flat response with complex loads as low as 2 ohms nominal.

Configurable for any signal, any load

All Lab.gruppen power platforms offer adjustable gain to optimize performance with any input signal. In addition, each channel incorporates a proprietary limiter circuit to optimize output characteristics for any type of load. The specific implementation is tailored to each power platform: Rail Sensing Limiter (RSLTM) in the E Series, Voltage Peak Limiter (VPL™) in C Series and FP+ Series, and digitally implemented as ISVPL™ in the PLM Series.

Intercooler for efficient, uniform cooling

The ultra-efficient Intercooler uses thousands of tiny

copper cooling fins to increase heat sink exposure to the cooling air flow. Output devices are mounted transverse to the airflow for uniform cooling, preventing heat buildup in “end of tunnel” transistors.

Comprehensive circuit protection

Features for protection and fault indication include DC at output, short circuit, excessive output current, sustained very high frequency (VHF), and open load. Additionally, a Power Average Limiter (PAL) monitors the current-drawing relationship between the power supply and the mains inlet, limiting current draw as necessary to prevent service interruption.

Regulated Switch Mode Power Supply (R.SMPS)

The latest generation of R.SMPS technology boosts

power output while reducing size and weight. Precise regulation maintains constant voltage on the internal rails, ensuring full output power and undistorted sound even with significant drops in mains voltage.

Planet protection standard

Lab.gruppen is a leader in building extraordinarily energy-efficient products, and also in manufacturing them with minimal environmental impact. The new E-Series has earned Energy Star certification, thanks to breakthrough circuit designs for higher operating efficiency along with flexible mode power control (including auto-power-down). With C Series and FP+ Series, phantom powering of the amplifiers’ network modules via the NomadLink® network means zero amplifier current draw on standby. And in manufacturing, Lab.gruppen’s modern plant in Sweden is a model for energy efficiency and near

100% waste recycling.

countless possibilities

PLM Series Powered Loudspeaker Management systems encompass a seamless fusion of cutting-edge technologies from two global innovators in live audio: Lake and Lab.gruppen. Each PLM product combines Lake Processing – the world standard for flexibility and sound quality – with an amplifier platform based on the power density, sonic purity and proven reliability of Lab.gruppen’s FP+ Series. Intelligently merged, these complementary technologies comprise a complete loudspeaker drive system. All crossover, delay, equalization, limiting, audio networking, and power amplification functions are integrated into one chassis and controlled via a single Tablet PC software interface.

In addition, the PLM Series’ revolutionary load verification and performance monitoring features assure extended reliability for all system components

– loudspeakers included! PLM Series technology is

accessible via three hardware platforms with either two- or four-channel output sections.

The flagship PLM 20000Q incorporates four

channels with each producing a prodigious 4800 W at 2 ohms, while the PLM 10000Q offers 4 x 2350 W at 2 ohms. Optimized for high-power requirements, the two-channel PLM 14000 delivers a massive

7000 W per channel into 2 ohms and 4350 W per

channel into 4 ohms, making it ideal for demanding subwoofer and low-end applications. A recent firmware update allows adjacent output bridging for additional power, and enables flexible configuration of PLM 20000Q and PLM 10000Q with two-, three- or four-channel output stages. All PLM Series platforms also incorporate Dante and everything is fitted into a roadworthy 2 U chassis. PLM Series – it’s your one box solution for a multitude of challenging audio applications.

Dante networking and much more.

LoadSmart™ takes a load off your mind

Yes, Powered Loudspeaker Management inserts a

full-featured Lake processor inside a Lab.gruppen amplifier chassis. But that’s only the beginning. The PLM Series also introduces a revolutionary set of tools for fast, accurate load verification and real-time performance monitoring. The key to this breakthrough is LoadLibrary™, a comprehensive database that provides a unique “Fingerprint” (load characteristic) for each loudspeaker model in the system. Using this data and on-board DSP, LoadSmart compares predicted response by applying a brief test signal. Any potential problems are identified instantly. During performance, SpeakerSafe™ monitors driver performance to prevent sonic degradation and provide critical, real-time information about system-wide driver performance.

Dante advanced audio networking

With the PLM Series, there’s no need to install separate modules or configure custom software for integrated digital audio networking. Every PLM comes equipped with Dante, a self-configuring digital

audio networking solution from Audinate® of Australia. Based on the newest developments in networking technology, Dante provides extremely reliable, sample accurate, low latency audio distribution over Ethernet. And with Zen™, Audinate’s automatic device discovery and system configuration protocol, PLM Series products (as well as discrete Dolby Lake Processors and other Dante-enabled devices) find each other on the network and configure themselves automatically. – whether PLM units, Lake LM Series processors, Dolby Lake Processors, or other Danteenabled devices.

Lake Processing: full-featured and backward compatible

All PLM Series models contain two full-featured Lake Processing modules, each offering precise settings for gain, delay, crossover slope, equalization, and limiting. Exclusive Lake Processing algorithms are included for Raised Cosine Equalization™, linear phase crossovers, LimiterMax™ loudspeaker protection, and Iso-Float™ ground isolation.

Regardless of the make or type of loudspeaker system, the venue size or acoustics, or the program material, the integral Lake Processing in the PLM Series will help you create a more consistent sound with less time and hassle in system setup. Lake Controller software provides a unified interface for control and monitoring of PLM functions. In addition to controlling all parameters of Lake Processing, the software also provides control and monitoring of exclusive Lab.gruppen features: digital input gain and attenuation, and comprehensive load verification and monitoring via LoadSmart and SpeakerSafe.

The Lake Controller software is optimized for a Tablet PC, and operates on any newer Windows

PC equipped with an Ethernet interface. The same Lake Controller software interface also can be used for simultaneous operation of external Dolby Lake Processors, Lake Contour Pro 26 and Lake Mesa Quad EQ™ processors.

The Lake Analyser Bridge also allows seamless

integration with third-party, real-time sound system measurement tools, enabling you to perform comprehensive measurement routines and adjust your system EQ at the same time, using the same user interface. This measurement plug-in feature is currently implemented for Smaart as well as Live-Capture Light and Pro.

The PLM Series provides a full range of connectivity for Dante network, AES digital, and analog signals

FP+ Series: Kings of the road

More power, more choices

More power from smaller and lighter racks, with more configuration flexibility, and yet with no compromise in the legendary Lab.gruppen sound – that’s the promise fulfilled by FP+ Series amplifiers.

The FP+ Series includes six models, with both

two- and four-channel versions spread across a range of power output levels. The flagship FP 14000 produces staggering output power of

14000 W (from a 2 U chassis weighing only 12 kg),

making it ideal for powering larger subwoofers. Other FP+ Series models offer power levels and channel configurations scaled to match every conceivable touring application, from band-limited line array drivers to full-range monitor and fill loudspeakers.

To achieve the extraordinary power-to-size ratio

in the FP+ Series, Lab.gruppen engineers refined

and upgraded two proprietary technologies: the Regulated Switch Mode Power Supply (R.SMPS) and the patented Class TD output stage. Working together, these new-generation proprietary circuits produce more power from a smaller package while maintaining Lab.gruppen’s peerless reputation for sonic excellence. The highs stay crisp and transparent. The mids are warm and natural. And the tight low end delivers visceral impact.

Information, control, reassurance

All FP+ Series amplifiers offer real-time monitoring and control via the NomadLink network, with network modules built in as standard equipment. Finally, standing behind Lab.gruppen’s reputation for rock-solid reliability is a six-year, no-quibble warranty.

C Series: Touring-grade installation ampliﬁers

The C Series builds on Lab.gruppen’s unsurpassed

experience in designing and manufacturing the world’s finest amplifiers for touring applications.

The underlying core technologies are the same in

these dedicated installation amplifiers, assuring impeccable performance and rock-solid reliability

– even when pushed hard in grueling “24/7”

applications.

Go configure...easily

The C Series also sets new industry benchmarks for

power density and configuration flexibility. All nine models are multi-channel, with four or eight channels available as discrete outputs or as bridged pairs. In addition, all channels offer individual adjustments for gain and maximum voltage, and all outputs are separately configurable for either low-Z or high-Z (70 V/100 V) systems.

To ensure long-term durability, each C Series

amplifier incorporates a suite of seven protection and warning circuits. Exclusive Intercooler heat

12 13

dissipation technology helps safeguard output devices. Also, advanced NomadLink networking, with remote monitoring and control facilities, comes as standard. And every amplifier is backed by Lab.gruppen’s worldwide technical support and a no-hassle six-year warranty.

The four C…X models comprise a sub-group

of amplifiers ideally suited to a wide range of lower-powered commercial sound applications. Additional standard features include a universal power supply, built-in GPIO facilities, and individually selectable high-pass filters on each channel.

Investing in your reputation needn’t cost the earth

C Series amplifiers come from Sweden, a country with exceptionally stringent standards for environmentally friendly manufacturing. Also, watt-in for watt-out, Lab.gruppen amplifiers are among the world’s most efficient. So your C Series amplifier goes greener into the box, and works greener in the rack.

NLB 60E

NomadLink: Know all, control all

Lab.gruppen’s NomadLink Network offers a bulletproof system for comprehensive monitoring and control of many as 960 FP+ Series or C Series amplifiers with a total of 3840 output channels.

To create a NomadLink network, you simply

daisy-chain the In and Out network ports of your amplifiers by snapping in standard Cat-5 cables.

Then connect the first and last amplifiers to an

NLB 60E NomadLink Bridge & Network Controller, forming a loop. That’s it. You’re done.

Failure: not an option

In this closed loop topology, NomadLink forms a robust and fully redundant network that is essentially fail-safe. Phantom powering through the loop makes it possible to maintain uninterrupted network communication even when an amplifier in the system is powered off or has AC current disconnected.

The NLB 60E functions as a stand-alone unit when

needed to provide basic monitoring and control. Large front-panel keys and displays let you power-up

and power-down all networked amplifiers, and also provide “in-the-rack” notification of warnings or faults.

However, most users will also use the NLB 60E as an Ethernet-to-NomadLink bridge to remotely access the enhanced feature set of DeviceControl software DeviceControl is a powerful tool for real-time monitoring and control as well as offline system configuration. The flexible GUI allows multi-level monitoring of amplifier status, from at-a-glance fault monitoring of an entire complex to detailed status reports on a single channel. Amplifier channels may be freely configured in groups for simultaneous on/off, mute or solo commands.

Welcome to the third-parties

The latest upgrades to DeviceControl software,

working with new firmware for the NLB 60E, have further enhanced the network’s capabilities. Not only is channel-level control and monitoring available via the DeviceControl interface, but detailed fault, warning and subnet status may now be reported to popular third-party control and monitoring applications.

E-Series: Simple economics, brilliant IDEEA

A brilliant IDEEA

In designing the new E Series, Lab.gruppen engineers drew upon the cutting-edge amplifier design philosophies developed for the flagship PLM 20000Q, evolving these to create new circuit topologies and control features to meet the demands of 21st century AV installations. The result is a new amplifier platform called IDEEA: IntelliDrive Energy Efficient Amplifier.

The principal design challenge was maintaining

Lab.gruppen’s impeccable sonic performance and robust power output while meeting – or exceeding – the rigorous efficiency requirements of Energy StarTM 2.1 certification. The challenge was met on two fronts: reducing current draw during operating cycles with vigorous program material and high output levels, and reducing power consumption during non-operational cycles.

New power supply and output stage

For peak operating efficiency, the E Series

incorporates a new high-headroom universal power supply accepting any mains voltage from

70 to 265 V at 50 or 60 Hz. A higher storage capacity

in the power supply prevents excessive draw on the mains inlet during repeated peak bursts, maintaining extra headroom on the supply rails for sustained maximum output with minimal distortion. The Class D output stage is highly efficient (above 90%), while the inherently bridged topology allows up to twice the rated power output on one channel when the other channel is unused or driving a low power application.

RSLTM: Mix, match and balance loads

The new Rail Sensing Limiter (RSL) is the latest

refinement of Lab.gruppen’s proprietary approach to optimizing amplifier output characteristics to match the connected load. Each channel has a two-position switch that sets the output for driving either low impedance or high impedance (70 V) loudspeaker systems, with a +4 dBu sensitivity regardless of load type. RSL works in conjunction

with the high headroom power supply and inherently bridged output stage to allow asymmetric loading. Power resources in the amplifier can be utilized to maximum advantage, with one channel producing far beyond its rated output when the other channel has lesser power requirements.

Flexible mode power control

To conform with Energy Star requirements, E Series

amplifiers offer auto-power-down, which activates when no signal is detected for 20 minutes. Autopower-on is triggered when signal is again present at the input. The GPI-type contact closure can also be used to control the power state as well as external power sequencers if desired.

Target: Installation

E Series amplifiers are designed for ease of installation and reliable service, with notable features including a 35 Hz high-pass filter (switchable per channel), inputs and outputs on detachable Phoenix-type screw terminals, and a temperature controlled fan that turns off for low-level signals. Comprehensive circuit protection and fault indication also included.

The evolution of technology

Power to integrate

Green Power: Maximizing dB SPL, minimizing kWh

In 21st century AV installations, systems integrators and end users must consider a power amplifier’s total cost – financially and environmentally – as calculated over an extended lifetime. The initial cost of a product can prove misleading. After ten years of use, an amplifier that costs less to install “out of the box” often will end up costing more after paying the “electricity penalty” for inefficiency. Consequently, the overriding goal of Lab.gruppen engineers has always been to produce the maximum possible power output – regardless of load type connected – with minimum current draw from AC mains. The latest generation Lab.gruppen amplifiers achieve this goal by applying new technologies that work in concert to deliver unprecedented overall efficiency – both minuteby-minute and over a decade or more.

RSL: Matching outputs to load conditions

A power amplifier performs more efficiently when key amplifier parameters are optimized for the loads connected to the outputs. With its exclusive Rail Sensing Limiter (RSL), Lab.gruppen’s E Series adapts to load conditions of varying impedances. High-impedance (70 V) systems can be driven directly from the amplifier outputs, eliminating losses from output transformers. In addition, the dual range switch can be used to optimize power output for connected loads in the 2 – 16 ohm range.

Asymmetric loading: Power sharing for ultimate efficiency

The combination of a high-headroom power supply and the dual range RSL enables asymmetric loading on E Series amplifiers. That means amplifier one channel can produce undistorted power substantially beyond its rated output when loads on the other channel are less demanding. For example, an E 12:2 amplifier, nominally rated at 600 W per channel @ 4 ohms, can produce 1100 W @ 4 ohms into one channel while

18 19

simultaneously delivering 100 W into a 70 V system on the other channel.

A measure of efficiency: Power to current draw ratio

One meaningful way to evaluate a power amplifier is to look at the ratio of peak output power to AC mains current draw. Essentially, this reveals the power consumption when the amplifier is working at its hardest, and new Lab.gruppen amplifiers are remarkable in this respect. The ratio for both E Series and the PLM 20000Q is 400: 1, or about 400 W output every 1 A of power draw from 115/120 V mains.

For tours this often means that the use of diesel generators complementing the local supply can be eliminated. For installs with 115/120 V mains, the functionality of E Series allows, for example, connection of four E 12:2 amplifiers – all on one circuit – to each deliver repeated beats of 4.8 kW while consuming less than 1 kW and never exceeding 12 Arms from the mains! And no, there is no power plant inside; the amplifiers simply use the dynamic behavior of the input signal and “recharge” between the peaks.

Lowering the “electricity penalty”

With already high energy costs moving higher in nearly every part of the world, the total amount of electricity required to power an amplifier must be factored in to the total cost of ownership and operation. When electricity costs are factored into the equation, Lab.gruppen E Series amplifiers quickly recoup any marginally higher initial costs within the first few years of operation, when compared to several popular installation amplifiers using conventional technologies. Depending on the specific application and on/off cycle periods, conventional amplifiers may impose an “electricity penalty” up to three times that of the E Series. Many of them will cost more in electricity over 6 years of use than they initially cost to purchase!

Lab.gruppen’s amplifier platforms, often in combination with Lake technology, can be found the world over and across a multitude of applications

– ranging from arena or night club installations to

touring concert sound. Integration is at the heart of the product range. Realizing the performance advantages of Lab.gruppen products is hassle-free, whatever the system configuration and irrespective of the other components. In touring sound, the seamless integration of Lake Processing and Lab.gruppen amplification powered the excitement of U2’s globe-spanning 360 tour, with more than 150 PLM Series Powered Loudspeaker Management systems driving Clair loudspeaker arrays. In the installation market, the PLM Series brought the same advantages to BC Place in Vancouver, Canada, where the former Olympic venue employs

160 PLM Series units.

Note 1): Automatic -6 dB gain compensation when bridging channels. Ch.’s A+B and/or C+D, E+F, G+H, can be bridged individually. Note 2): PAL can reduce the maximum output power to keep the power supply operating safely, and/or to prevent excessive current draw tripping the mains breaker. Refer to Operation Manual. Note 3): For sine waves, peak voltage output values translate to Vrms with the formula V/1.41 = Vrms. E.g. 100 V peak equals app. 70 V peak. Hence, outputs can be set for high-impedance

loads without requiring a transformer. Note 4): Regarding n.r. (not recommended) notes: The amplifier will be fully operational in bridge-mode into 2 ohm and high impedance (Hi-Z) loads, but due to physical constraints in the construction, the max. output power will not be significanty higher than running individual channels and therefore this mode of operation is not recommended.

Note 5): C 88:4 mains connector: 30 A Twist lock. Note 6): Separate 230 V or 115 V versions available. Not selectable on the amplifier.
