Lab.gruppen FP+ Series FP 10000Q Technical Data

A Benchmark For Touring Amplification

Over the past decade, the tight and transparent sound of 

Lab.gruppen touring amplifiers has earned the praise of renowned 

FOH engineers and leading sound rental companies worldwide.  

FP 10000Q, the flagship four-channel model of the FP+ Series, 

continues this tradition. At the core of the FP 10000Q’s performance 

is the patented Class TD output stage, a breakthrough amplifier  

topology that approaches the exceptional efficiency of Class D while 

retaining the sonic purity of proven Class B designs. Further contri-

buting to the remarkable efficiency of the FP 10000Q is a Regulated 

Switch Mode Power Supply (R.SMPS), which gives the added benefit 

of stabilizing rail voltages to the output even with wide fluctuations of 

mains voltage. A highly refined and updated circuit layout optimizes 

the interaction of R.SMPS and Class TD to produce the extraordinary 

power density of the FP 10000Q.

To keep its cool under extreme demands, the FP 10000Q relies on 

Lab.gruppen’s proprietary Intercooler. This innovation uses thou- 

sands of copper fins to multiply the exposed heatsink surface’s 

rapid heat dissipation. Also, all output devices are mounted trans-

verse to the airflow for uniform cooling. As a result, the FP 10000Q  

delivers Lab.gruppen’s trademark “all the power, all the time” with no 

degradation of sonic performance.

To maximize headroom in any application, the FP 10000Q offers  

adjustable input gain along with Lab.gruppen’s exclusive Voltage 

Peak Limiter (VPL). Adjustable on a per-channel basis, VPL opti-

mizes the output for any load, from a single massive subwoofer to a 

series of HF compression drivers.

The comprehensive warning and protection features on the 

FP 10000Q safeguard output circuits and connected loads while  

also extending amplifier life and minimizing chance of service inter-

ruptions. Whether it’s a matter of faulty wiring, improper use, or ex-

treme ambient temperatures, the FP 10000Q gives clear indication of 

any problems. Automatic protection measures engage only at critical 

thresholds. Operating conditions are re-checked every six seconds 

and, if a fault is detected, normal operation is resumed when mea-

surements return to nominal. 

The FP 10000Q is shipped with a NomadLink network interface as 

standard. In conjunction with DeviceControl software, or the leading 

third party control platforms, NomadLink network allows monitoring 

of all key amplifier parameters and remote control of power on/off, 

channel mutes, and channel solo functions. (NomadLink requires the 

separate NLB 60E NomadLink Bridge & Network Controller).

▸

Very high power and channel density –

 The four-channel 

FP 10000Q delivers a total of 10000 W (4 x 2500 W @ 2 ohms) in 

only 2U.

▸

Four-channel flexibility –

 Four channels in one cabinet increases 

efficiency, flexibility and value in powering monitor systems, line 

arrays, and bi- or tri-amped systems. Adjacent channels bridge-

able for 2- or 3-channel operation.
