FP10000Q
Lab Gruppen FP10000Q 4-Channel Power Amp
This four-channel touring amp offers tight and transparent sound. At the core of its performance is the patented Class TD output stage, a breakthrough amplifier topology that approaches the exceptional efficiency of class D while retaining the sonic purity of proven class A/B designs.
Further contributing to the remarkable efficiency of the FP 10000Q is a Regulated Switch Mode Power Supply (R.SMPS), which stabilizes 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 10000Q.
To keep its cool under extreme demands, the unit relies on Lab.gruppen’s proprietary Intercooler®. This innovation uses thousands of copper fins to multiply the exposed heatsink surface’s rapid heat dissipation. Also, all output devices are mounted transverse to the airflow for uniform cooling. As a result, the FP 10000Q 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 10000Q 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 10000Q safeguard output circuits and connected loads, extending amplifier life and minimizing service interruptions. In case of faulty wiring, improper use, or extreme ambient temperatures, the FP 10000Q gives clear indication of any problems. Automatic protection measures engage only at critical thresholds. Operating conditions are checked every six seconds and, if a fault is detected, normal operation is resumed when measurements return to nominal.

Notes
1. Automatic -6 dB gain compensation when bridging channels. Ch.’s A+B and C+D can be bridged.
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.
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.
4. Separate 230 V or 115 V versions available. Not selectable on the amplifier.
All specifications are subject to change without notice.
