FP 10000Q

Technical Data

FP+ Series: Dedicated Touring Amplifiers

Very high power and channel density – • The four-channel FP
1000 0Q delivers a total of 10000 W (4 x 250 0 W @ 2 ohms) in
only 2U

Four- channel flexibility – • Four channels in one cabinet increases
efficiency, flexibility and value in powering monitor systems, line
arrays, and bi- or tri-amped systems. Adjacent channels bridgeable
for 2- or 3- channel operation

Lab.gruppen sound quality – • FP 10000Q amplifiers maintain
the impeccable sonic performance standards set by the original fP
Series, with the same durability and even greater efficiency

NomadLink •
functions accessible via the intuitive DeviceControl software and
the robust, daisy-chained NomadLink

Patented Class TD amplifier topology – • Road-proven output
stage delivers Class B audio quality with Class D efficiency

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 10000Q, the flagship four-channel model of the FP+ Series, con­tinues this tradition. At the core of the FP 1000 0Q’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 designs. Further contri­buting to the remarkable efficiency of the FP 1000 0Q 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 10000Q.

To keep its cool under extreme demands, the FP 100 00Q relies on
Lab.gruppen’s proprietary Intercooler
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 10000Q
delivers Lab.gruppen’s’ trademark “all the power, all the time” with
no degradation of sonic per formance.

. This innovation uses thou-

Regulated Switch Mode Power Supply (R.SMPS) – • Output
power remains constant even with significant drops in the mains
voltage

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), and bridge-mode operation allow custom configura­tion for any system or application

XLR input connectors •

Heavy-duty binding post or Speakon 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 10000Q 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 10000Q safeguard output circuits and connected loads while
also extending amplifier life and minimizing chance of service inter­ruptions. Whether it’s a matter of faulty wiring, improper use, or
extreme ambient temperatures, the FP 10000Q 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 measurements return to nominal.

The FP 10000Q is shipped with a NomadLink
standard. In conjunction with DeviceControl software, NomadLink
allows monitoring of all key amplifier parameters and remote con­trol of power on/off, channel mutes, and channel solo functions.
