IPX Series
Quick Start Guide

Introduction
Lab.gruppen IPX 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 IPX 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 shielded Cat-5 cable or using suitable WiFi access point;
IPX 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 IPX Series amplifiers, and for configuration of settings in typical
applications.
Except as specifically noted, all features, values and connections are identical for
all models.
Unpacking and visual checks
Every Lab.gruppen amplifier is carefully tested and inspected before leaving the
factory and should arrive in perfect condition. If any damage is discovered, please
notify the shipping carrier immediately.
Save the packing materials for the carrier’s inspection and for any
future shipping.
Installation
IPX 1200
– Depth is 336 mm (13.2") rack ear to back panel. Weight is
approximately 5.3 kg (11.7 lbs). Rear support brackets are included and use is
recommended in all applications.
IPX 2400
– Depth is 423 mm (16.7") rack ear to back panel. Weight is
approximately 7 kg (15.4 lbs). Rear support brackets are included and use is
recommended in all applications.
IPX 4800
– Depth is 472 mm (18.6") rack ear to back panel. Weight is
approximately 8.5 kg (18.7 lbs). Rear support brackets are included and use is
recommended in all applications.
Cooling
Please ensure that there is sufficient space in the front and the rear of each
amplifier to allow for a free flow of air. No doors or covers should be mounted
either in the front or rear of the amplifiers. Amplifiers may be stacked directly
on top of each other with no spacing, though some spacing may enable more
convenient installation of rear cabling.
Operating voltage
All IPX Series amplifiers have a universal power supply that operates on mains
from 100 – 240 V at 50 or 60 Hz. The IEC receptacle on the rear panel accepts the
supplied IEC cord which terminates in a connector appropriate for the country
of sale. When AC power is connected, the amplifier goes into standby (red
indication on standby LED). The amplifier may be turned on by pressing the front
power button or remotely using the IPX Controller software.
Grounding
Signal ground is floating via a resistor to chassis, and therefore grounding is
automatic. For safety reasons, never disconnect the earth (ground) pin on the AC
power cord. Use balanced input connections to avoid hum and interference
Rear Support Bracket
The following indicators and controls are available on the
front panel:
(1)
MENU
– Selects MENU mode and confirms a given
preset name.
(2)
BACK
– Moves backward through menu layers in
MENU mode.
(3)
MUTE
– Mutes corresponding channel as indicated.
(4)
SIG
– Illuminates green when signal is present. Illuminates red when
signal is clipping (pre input mixer)
(5)
POWER
– Indicates STANDBY (red)
(6)
LIM
(limit) – Illuminates when the amplifier limits
the signal.
Limiting is engaged when the channel:
• Reaches the selected voltage limit
• Mains voltage cannot maintain full rail voltage
(7)
ADJUST/SET
(Rotary Encoder) – Rotation moves through the menu and
adjusts the currently selected parameter when in setup mode. Pressing
down on the knob selects a given parameter or advances further into the
menu.
In operating mode, rotation of the ADJUST/SET encoder adjusts output gain
(outputs ganged).
(8)
BACKLIT DISPLAY
In operating mode, the display shows the following values and status
indicators:
• Level – Horizontal VU meters for each channel
• Device name and Preset name
In setup mode, the display shows currently selected menu locations
and parameters.

Front Panel
Rear Panel
The following connectors are available on the rear panel:
(9)
ANALOG INPUTS and LINK
– female XLR input connectors provided for
each channel, with male XLR link output connectors.
(10)
AES3 INPUT and LINK
– AES3 digital inputs are on a female XLR
connector with a link output on a male XLR connector.
(11)
NETWORK (Ethernet)
– An RJ45 jack is supplied for connection to an
Ethernet network for external control and monitoring, either by a direct
wired connection or via an external WiFi router to an iPad or tablet.
LEDs below the connector indicate valid network connection (LINK) and
network activity (ACT).
(12)
speakON OUTPUT CONNECTORS
– Both channel outputs are available
on a four-pole connector at the left; either channel 1 or both channels
1 and 2 may be connected. Only channel 2 is available on the connector
to the right.
(13)
BINDING POST CONNECTORS
– Connectors for channel 1 and channel 2.
(14)
AC LINE INPUT
– A locking IEC receptacle accepts the AC line input,
50 Hz or 60 Hz, 100 V – 240 V. Use an IEC cable with the proper connector
for country of use.
