Lab.gruppen has expanded its D Series install-dedicated amplifier platform with the introduction of three slimline models, the D 40:4L, D 20:4L and D 10:4L. The D Series now consists of six power levels, which offers integration with a wide range of digital audio and control protocols.

‘Total integration and flexibility is the ethos behind our most advanced install-dedicated amplifier platform to date,’ says Product Manager Hakan Gustafsson. ‘The larger D Series models are well established in the high-performance installation market. Now, these slimline models with lower power ratings, ensure Lab.gruppen D Series covers all applications.’

The four channel, small format 1U-high rack space power amplifiers (4kW, 2kW and 1kW total power output) offer power density comparable to eight-channel amplifiers, but in a scalable form factor. Each is available with Lake Processing and Rational Power Management (RPM) technology, which first appeared on the flagship D Series in 2014. RPM allows flexible allocation across all channels, ensuring efficient and rational use of amplifier inventory without the need to reduce channel count or total power.

The new models also feature Lab.gruppen’s IDEEA (IntelliDrive Energy Efficient Amplifier) output stage for greater efficiency and extreme flexibility with direct 70V and 100V drive, as well as low impedance.

The power supply power-to-current draw ratio promises reduced running costs and minimal environmental impact. Augmenting these green credentials is the CAFÉ (Configuring Amplifiers for the Environment) software suite, which provides system design aid and many other time saving features that ensures optimised system cost as well as lifetime running costs.
