A Benchmark For Touring Amplification
Over the past decade, the tight and transparent sound of
Lab.gruppen touring ampliers has earned the praise of renowned
FOH engineers and leading sound rental companies worldwide.
FP 7000, one of four models in the FP+ Series, continues this
tradition. At the core of the FP 7000’s performance is the patented
Class TD output stage, a breakthrough amplier topology that
approaches the exceptional efciency of Class D while retaining the
sonic purity of proven Class B designs. Further contributing to the
remarkable efciency of the FP 7000 is a Regulated Switch Mode
Power Supply (R.SMPS), which gives the added benet of stabilizing
rail voltages to the output even with wide uctuations of mains
voltage. A highly rened and updated circuit layout optimizes the
interaction of R.SMPS and Class TD to produce the extraordinary
power density of the FP 7000.
To keep its cool under extreme demands, the FP 7000 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
airow for uniform cooling. As a result, the FP 7000 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 7000 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 7000
safeguard output circuits and connected loads while also extending
amplier life and minimizing the chance of service interruptions.
Whether it’s a matter of faulty wiring, improper use, or extreme
ambient temperatures, the FP 7000 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 7000 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 amplier 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 7000 delivers a total of
7000 W (2 x 3500 W @ 2 ohms) in only 2U.
▸ Lab.gruppen sound quality – FP 7000 ampliers maintain the
impeccable sonic performance standards set by the original
fP Series, with the same durability and even greater efciency.
▸ 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 amplier topology – Road-proven output
stage delivers Class B audio quality with Class D efciency.
▸ Regulated Switch Mode Power Supply (R.SMPS™) – Output
power remains constant even with signicant drops in the mains
voltage.
▸ Efcient 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
conguration for any system or application.
▸ XLR input and link 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.
