Introduction
Lab.gruppen IPD Series amplifiers provide exceptionally high power density and powerful integrated DSP features, making them suitable for a
broad range of installed and touring sound applications. All IPD Series amplifiers feature both analog and AES3 inputs with link outputs; input
mixing; comprehensive DSP functions (crossover, parametric EQ, delay and limiter control); network control via Ethernet on Cat-5 cable or using
suitable WiFi access point; IntelliDrive™ Controller software and iPad native app; comprehensive front-panel display and dedicated mute buttons;
and both binding post and Neutrik speakON output connectors.
The information contained in this Quick Start Guide is sufficient for proper installation of IPD Series amplifiers, and for configuration of settings
in typical applications. Please refer to the full Operation Manual for detailed information on maintenance, cooling requirements, warranty, and
configuration for complex installations.
Except as specifically noted, all features, values and connections are identical for the IPD 1200 and IPD 2400.
Important safety instructions
1. Read these instructions.
2. Keep these instructions.
3. Heed all warnings.
4. Follow all instructions.
5. Do not use this apparatus near water.
6. Clean only with a dry cloth.
7. Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in accordance with the
manufacturer’s instructions.
8. Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers,
stoves, or other apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce heat.
9. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding-type
plug. A polarized plug has two blades with one wider than the other.
A grounding-type plug has two blades and a third grounding prong.
The wide blade or the third prong is provided for your safety. If the
provided plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for
replacement of the obsolete outlet.
10. Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched, particularly
at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit
from the apparatus.
11. Only use attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer.
12. Use only with a cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table specified by the
manufacturer, or sold with the apparatus. When a cart is used, use
caution when moving the cart/apparatus combination to avoid injury
from tip-over.
13. Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when unused for
long periods of time.
14. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required
when the apparatus has been damaged in any way, such as
power-supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or
objects have fallen into the apparatus, the apparatus has been
exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has been
dropped.
15. WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire of electric shock, do not expose
this apparatus to rain or moisture.
16. Do not expose this equipment to dripping or splashing and ensure
that no objects filled with liquids, such as vases, are placed on the
equipment.
17. Do not connect the unit’s output to any other voltage source, such
as battery, mains source, or power supply, regardless of whether the
unit is turned on or off.
18. Do not remove the top (or bottom) cover. Removal of the cover will
expose hazardous voltages. There are no user serviceable parts
inside and removal may void the warranty.
19. An experienced user shall always supervise this professional audio
equipment, especially if inexperienced adults or minors are using
the equipment.
