Lab.Gruppen FP 13000/BP FP+ Series Touring Amplifier
|
|
The FP 13000 is the flagship model of the FP+ Series. At the core of the FP 13000's performance is a breakthrough advance in Lab.gruppen's patented Class TD output stage, an amplifier topology that approaches the exceptional efficiency of class D while retaining the sonic purity of proven class AB designs. Further contributing to the remarkable efficiency of the FP 13000 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 13000.
The FP13000 is shipped with a NomadLink® network interface as standard. In conjunction with DeviceControl PC software, NomadLink® allows monitoring of all key amplifier parameters and remote control of power on/off, channel mutes, and channel solo functions. (NomadLink® requires the separate NLB 60E network bridge.)

Note 1): Automatic -6 dB gain compensation when bridging channels. Ch.’s A+B can be bridged.
Note 2): PAL can reduce the maximum output power to keep the power supply operating safely, and/or to prevent excessive current draw tripping the mains breaker.
Refer to Operation Manual.
Note 3): The amplifier will be fully operational at bridge-mode 2 ohm loads, but due to physical constraints in the construction, the max. output power will not be
significantly higher than running individual channels and therefore not stated here.
Note 4): Separate 230 V or 115 V versions available. Not selectable on the amplifier.
All specifications are subject to change without notice.
