Lab.gruppen FP+ Series – Extreme Power and Channel Density, Tailored for Touring

Building on the merits of the established fP Series, Lab.gruppen has introduced the FP+ Series of high-power, network-ready amplifiers for touring sound applications. The FP+ Series comprises four models: FP 13000 (2 x 6,500 W), FP 7000 (2 x 3,500 W), FP 10000Q (4 x 2,500 W) and FP 6000Q (4 x 1,500 W). These output ratings are into 2-ohm loads, though amazingly enough, most FP+ models are optimized for even higher power ratings at 2.67 ohms, an impedance tailored to driving three 8-ohm drivers.
