LAB GRUPPEN iP 2100 2X700W POWER AMPLIFIER

The iP 2100 is a space-saving power amplifier, ideal for use in installations as well as
in cost-effective live sound systems.
The Iron Power (iP) family of power amplifiers is the new compact and versatile line of
professional power amplifiers with classic toroidal iron transformers. To achieve a compact
design, the latest semiconductor technology is utilized. This, together with Lab.gruppen?s
proprietary copper cooling system, Intercooler?, enhances the 2 ohms capacity. A new
Bi-phase wiring scheme also increases the capacity of the power supply. This extends
the power bandwidth in the low end.

Key Features:
2 x 425 watts @ 8 ?
2 x 700 watts @ 4 ?
2 x 1050 watts @ 2 ?
(Measured just below clip level, with both channels driven)
Compact design: 2U high
Intercooler? cooling system with front-to-rear airflow
Multiple positions gain switch
Easily accessible dust filter
Improved low-end power bandwidth
Neutrik Combo jack and Phoenix terminal block input connectors
Bridged mono outputs in one SpeakOn connector

Besides the traditionally superb Lab.gruppen sonic performance, there is a full line of features
to make the iP family functional in all situations from installation to cost-effective live sound
systems:

Multiple positions Gain switch
To meet the demands for a flexible gain structure in the system, Lab.gruppen offers a multiple
position gain switch. The maximum amplifier gain can be set to all industry standards: 20, 23,
26, 29, 32, 35, 38 and 41 dB.

Versatile input connection
With the Neutrik Combo-jack we offer both the professional XLR-type standard and the semi-pro
1/4? TRS phono-jacks. For installations the 3-pin Phoenix terminal block may be handier.

Soft Start
Toroidal transformers require a huge amount of start current to build up a magnetic flux when the
amplifier is switched on. Therefore Lab.gruppen have included a soft start circuit to minimize the
risk of blowing the wall fuse and to reduce flickering in the lighting.

Sophisticated protection circuitry, combining:
ALStm short circuit protection; the Adaptive Limiting System permits very high peak currents, but
keeps the amplifier within the Safe Operation Area.
DC protection; protects against infrasonic signals
VHF protection; protects the loudspeakers against strong very high frequency non-musical signals
above the audible range.
Thermal protection; prevents the amplifier from being overheated. The protection indicators on the front
panel are switched on, as a warning, before the protection process is initiated.
AC protection; shuts down the power supply if the line voltage is outside the operating voltage.
Clip limiter; prevents severely clipped waveforms from reaching the loudspeakers, whilst maintaining
full peak power.
