is approximately 6.2 kg (13.7 lbs). Rear support brackets are included
and use is recommended in all applications.
Rear Support Bracket
Cooling
Please ensure that there is sufcient space in the front and the rear of
each amplier to allow for a free ow of air. No doors or covers should
be mounted either in the front or rear of the ampliers. Ampliers may
be stacked directly on top of each other with no spacing, though some
spacing may enable more convenient installation of rear cabling.
Refer to the full Operation Manual for thermal dissipation value when
installing large numbers of ampliers in air conditioned spaces.
Operating voltage
All IPD Series ampliers have a universal power supply that operates
on mains from 100 – 240 V at 50 or 60 Hz. The IEC receptacle on
the rear panel accepts the supplied IEC cord which terminates in a
connector appropriate for the country of sale. When AC power is
connected, the amplier goes into standby (red indication on standby
LED). The amplier may be turned on by pressing the front power
button or remotely using the IntelliDrive Controller software.
For customers in Canada
This Class B digital apparatus complies with Canadian ICES-003.
Français: Cet appareil numérique de la classe B est conforme à la
norme NMB003 du Canada.
Unpacking and visual checks
Every Lab.gruppen amplier 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.
Grounding
Signal ground is oating via a resistor to chassis, and therefore
grounding is automatic. For safety reasons, never disconnect the earth
(ground) pin on the AC power cord. Use balanced input connections
to avoid hum and interference.

Input connections
Analog Inputs
Analog inputs are available on two standard XLR-F latching connectors.
The inputs are electronically balanced. The impedance is 20 kohms, and
the inputs can accept a maximum input level of +26 dBu.
Polarity is as follows:
Pin 1 = screen (shield), pin 2 = positive (+), pin 3 = negative (-).
Analog Links
Two latching XLR-M connectors are adjacent to the analog input
connectors and are paralleled to the input connectors to provide an
unprocessed analog loop-through to feed additional IPD Series units
or other equipment.
AES3 Inputs
A latching XLR-F connector accepts an AES3 digital audio signal. Input
impedance is 110 ohms. (Ensure that 110 ohm digital audio cables are
used; standard XLR microphone cables are rarely suitable for reliable
digital audio transmission.)
Output connections
Two types of power output connections are available on IPD
Series ampliers: Neutrik speakON and binding post. The
two types are connected in parallel. Loudspeakers may be
connected to both at the same time, but this is generally not
recommended as total impedance may be too low.
Binding Posts
Power outputs for loudspeaker connection are available on two fully
enclosed binding posts. Observe signal polarity as indicated.
speakON Connectors
Outputs for both channel 1 and channel 2 are available on a four-pole
speakON connector to the left. The two-pole speakON to the right
connect to output 2 only. See diagram for output connection and
polarity.
*see g 1
NOTE! When connecting wiring to Speaker Terminals, the installation
shall be made by an instructed person or ready-made leads or cords
shall be used
AES3 is a stereo digital format, and therefore both inputs are fed via a
single connector. Selection of the analog or digital inputs is made via
the front panel display or IntelliDrive Controller software.
AES3 Link
A latching XLR-M connector is tted adjacent to the AES3 input
connector. This is an active link which sends an unprocessed
AES3 loop-thru to feed additional IPD units. The design requires no
termination load when the unit is the last connected.
Fig 1
Bridge Mode
The IPD Series employs an inherently bridged Class D output topology;
Under no circumstances should the IPD Amplier be bridged, this may
cause undesired operating performance.
