POWER AMPLIFIERKEY FEATURES:2 ✕ 430 watts @ 8 Ω2 ✕ 840 watts @ 4 Ω2 ✕ 1200 watts @ 2 Ω(Measured just below clip level,with both channels driven) Compact design, 2U high Low weight, 8 kg (18 lbs) MLS™ Switch: Lab.gruppen’sunique power matching fordifferent loadsNEW FEATURES: Multiple position gain switch Easily accessible dust filters Improved low-end powerbandwidth Link connector with XLR-typeconnector Bridged mono outputs in oneSpeakon® connector Extruded front panel forincreased stabilityThe fP 2600 is a lightweight and space-saving power amplifier, ideal for usein high quality touring sound systems as well as in demanding permanentinstallations.The latest semiconductor technology is utilized in the new ferrite Power (fP) amplifiers.This, together with Lab.gruppen’s proprietary copper cooling system, Intercooler®,enhances the 2 ohms capability. Two easily accessible dust filters on the front ensure aclean front-to-rear airflow.A new Bi-phase wiring scheme also increases the capacity of the switch mode powersupply. This extends the power bandwidth in the low end.Besides the traditionally superb Lab.gruppen sonic performance, there is a full line offeatures to make the fP family functional in all situations from installation to high perfor-mance live sound systems:Regulated switch mode power supplyToday there are many lightweight, switch-mode amplifiers in the market. However, theunique Lab.gruppen switch-mode power supply technology offers a number of essentialadvantages that make it superior to other, seemingly similar power supply designs.The most important features are the regulated power supply and the extreme powerefficiency. The regulated power supply easily deals with a very high variation in the ACmains voltage: it can drop by up to 20% below its nominal level – e.g. to 180 V (90V)instead of 230 V (115 V) – without any problem. Perhaps even greater benefits resultfrom the extreme efficiency of Lab.gruppen amplifiers: only a fraction of the energy fromthe AC mains is turned into heat. A regulated power supply also presents some othersonic advantages, such as better cone control and the same fast response as a conventio-nal power supply.Multiple positions Gain switchTo meet the demands for a flexible gain structure in the system, Lab.gruppen offers amultiple position gain DIP switch. The maximum amplifier gain can be set to all industrystandards: 20, 23, 26, 29, 32, 35, 38 and 41 dB.Sophisticated protection circuitry, combining:– ALS™ short circuit protection; the Adaptive Limiting System permits very high peakcurrents, but keeps the amplifier within the Safe Operation Area.– DC protection; protects against infrasonic signals.– VHF protection; protects the loudspeakers against strong very high frequency non-musical signals above the audible range.– Thermal protection; prevents the amplifier from being overheated. The protectionindicators on the front panel are switched on, as a warning, before the protectionprocess is initiated.– AC protection; shuts down the power supply if the line voltage is outside theoperating voltage.– Clip limiter; prevents severely clipped waveforms from reaching the loudspeakers,whilst maintaining full peak power.fP 2600
