Lab.gruppen FP14000 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 14000, the new flagship model of the FP+ Series, advances this 

tradition by further augmenting effective power output to effortlessly 

handle extreme low-frequency loads. The Regulated Switch Mode 

Power Supply (R.SMPS) has been updated to provide more sustained 

high power during extended bursts of low frequency content, while 

at the same time ensuring stable rail voltages even with wide fluctua-

tions of external mains voltage. The forceful, high-current (90 A peak) 

output stage relies on Lab.gruppen’s patented Class TD topology, a 

breakthrough in amplifier technology that approaches the efficiency 

of Class D while retaining the sonic purity of proven Class B designs. 

A highly refined and efficient circuit layout further optimizes the inter-

action of R.SMPS and Class TD to produce the unprecedented power 

density of the FP 14000. 

To keep its cool under extreme demands, the FP 14000 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 transverse to 

the airflow for uniform cooling. As a result, the FP 14000 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 14000 offers  

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

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

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 14000 safeguard output circuits and connected loads while also 

extending amplifier life and minimizing the chance of service interup-

tions. Whether it’s a matter of faulty wiring, improper use, or extreme 

ambient temperatures, the FP 14000 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 14000 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).
