A professional amplifier should fit nicely
into any sound system. The reality is that
some fit better than others. Lab.gruppen
amplifiers fit the best, and the iP Series
is no different.
When playing together with other equip-
ment the critical question is the gain
structure of the system. There are
various ways of dealing with it. The
Lab.gruppen way is simple but also the
most flexible. On the rear panel you will
find the Multiple Position Gain Switch.
Pick one out of eight gain settings bet-
ween 20 dB and 41 dB. High gain = high
input sensitivity, and vice versa. Eight
steps to get to proper headroom. Eight
chances to reduce the risk of clipped sig-
nals. Eight possibilities to enjoy the full
output power of a Lab.gruppen amplifi-
er. And eight great opportunities to
adjust perfectly to the gain requirements
of virtually any loudspeaker system con-
troller! All available at the flip of a
switch.
Lab.gruppen love to
share their gained know-
ledge with you.
Gain structure.
Gain Knowledge.
The simple things get often overlooked.
Why? We don’t know. So, we decided to
make it really simple for you to connect
our amplifiers to the outside world.
Neutrik Combo® input connectors
adapt to both worlds; XLR or 1/4˝ phone
plugs. Either way, it is a balanced input.
Alternatively, Phoenix connectors can
be used, making the iP Series adaptable
to the widely accepted standards of
permanently installed systems.
All output signals find their way out
through Neutrik Speakon® connectors –
safe, and a world standard. Of course,
each channel has its own output connec-
tor, but to save you from hassling
around with adaptors we have also
made both channel outputs available on
a single Speakon® (except iP 1150Q:
four channels, two each into two
Speakons®).
We have the proper connections.
Please make use of them.
