LAB GRUPPEN PD3000_US1 3000W Two-Channel Amplifier with Precise Power Management (PD3000_US1)
The PD3000 sounds like a robust amplifier designed for live sound applications. Its two-channel setup, delivering 2 x 1500W of power, seems ideal for entry to mid-level sound requirements. The IDEEA Class-D output stage appears to be a standout feature, providing optimal performance aligned with the rated power output. One notable advantage seems to be its versatility, as each channel offers enough voltage swing and current capacity to handle various impedance loads without requiring additional configuration. Additionally, the design's focus on a permanently bridged output suggests efficient thermal management and high-voltage handling capabilities.
Applications
The Lab Gruppen PD3000 power amplifier combines affordability with solid performance and comprehensive protection features. It inherits Lab Gruppen's hallmark engineering, known for setting high standards in touring concert systems. This amplifier promises exceptional sound quality, sturdy build, proven reliability, and a suite of protective measures, ensuring it can handle a range of challenging scenarios that might threaten its operation.
Simple Control
Just plug it in, crank it up and play. The comprehensive circuit protection will protect your PD3000 and your speakers against short circuits, DC and thermal overload.
Inputs
Balanced XLR and TRS input and linking connectors with optimized sensitivities. Easy setup with configuration of modes and X-over functionality.
Speaker Outputs
The Lab Gruppen PD3000 amplifier employs the IDEEA Class-D output stage, meticulously tailored to match its rated power output. Its design is geared for flexibility, ensuring that each channel possesses ample voltage swing and current capacity to handle various impedance loads without necessitating additional configurations. This design approach, based on a permanently bridged output, minimizes thermal losses and ensures a robust voltage swing, contributing to the amplifier's efficiency and performance.
Rugged and Lightweight Rack Mount Chassis
Ensuring the protection of both the amplifier and connected equipment is crucial in any audio setup. The PD3000 amplifier integrates advanced features designed to safeguard internal circuits and connected loads. These protections typically include safeguards against short circuits, thermal overload, overvoltage, and overcurrent scenarios. These protective mechanisms help maintain the integrity of the amplifier and prevent damage to both the amplifier itself and the speakers or other devices connected to it.
