A Benchmark For Touring Amplication
Over the past decade, the tight and transparent sound of
Lab.gruppen touring ampliers 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, continues this tradition. At the core of the FP 13000’s performance is the
patented Class TD output stage, a breakthrough amplier topology
that approaches the exceptional efciency of Class D while retaining
the sonic purity of proven Class B. Further contributing to the remarkable ef ciency of the FP 13000 is a Regulated Switch Mode Power
Supply (R.SMPS), which gives the added benet of stabilizing rail
voltages to the output even with wide uctuations of mains voltage.
A highly rened and updated circuit layout optimizes the interaction
of R.SMPS and Class TD to produce the extraordinary power density
of the FP 1300 0.
To keep its cool under extreme demands, the FP 13000 relies on
Lab.gruppen’s proprietary Intercooler. This innovation uses thousands of copper ns to multiply the exposed heatsink surface’s rapid
heat dissipation. Also, all output devices are mounted transverse to
the airow 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.
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 130 00 safeguard output circuits and connected loads while also
extending amplier life and minimizing the chance of service interruptions. Whether it’s a matter of faulty wiring, improper use, or
extreme ambient temperatures, the FP 13000 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 130 00 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 amplier parameters and remote control of power on/off,
channel mutes, and channel solo functions. (NomadLink requires the
separate NLB 60E NomadLink Bridge & Network Controller).
▸ Unprecedented power density – The FP 13000 delivers a total
of 13000 W (2 x 6500 W @ 2 ohms) in only 2U.
▸ Lab.gruppen sound quality – FP 13000 ampliers maintain
the impeccable sonic performance standards set by the original
fP Series, with the same durability and even greater efciency.
▸ NomadLink
®
network ready – Monitoring and control of key
functions accessible via the intuitive DeviceControl software and
the robust, daisy-chained NomadLink network , as well as by the
leading third party control platforms.
▸ Patented Class TD
®
amplier topology – Road -proven output
stage delivers Class B audio quality with Class D efciency.
▸ Regulated Switch Mode Power Supply (R.SMPS
™
) – Output
power remains constant even with signicant drops in the mains
voltage.
▸ Efcient cooling system – Unique, lightweight Intercooler
®
copper 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 congu-
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, ver y high frequency ( VHF), short
circuit, open load, mains fuse protection, and soft star t.
