LAB GRUPPEN D 120:4L_US4 12,000W Amplifier with 4 Flexible Output-Channels, Lake Digital Signal Processing and Digital Audio Networking for Installation Applications (D 120:4L_US4)

LAB GRUPPEN D 120:4L_US4 12,000W Amplifier with 4 Flexible Output-Channels, Lake Digital Signal Processing, and Digital Audio Networking for Installation Applications

The D 120:4L isn't just a power amplifier; it's a dynamic force transforming sound experiences. Boasting an impressive 12,000 W of flexible power, this amplifier merges cutting-edge Lake DSP, DANTE digital audio networking, and advanced system integrity monitoring.

Legendary Technology and Power

Rooted in the legacy of Lab Gruppen's renowned PLM Series, known for delivering unmatched reliability and sonic prowess in the most demanding settings worldwide, the D 120:4L sets a new standard for digitally networked sound installations. Its robust core technologies, fine-tuned and optimized, redefine excellence in stadiums, arenas, theme parks, performing arts centers, racecourses, and vast commercial sound setups. Beyond its legendary reliability and acoustic brilliance, the D Series introduces refined output stage technologies and installation-specific hardware and software features. These innovations streamline amplifier system design and configuration, empowering integrators to slash initial equipment costs and minimize long-term energy consumption for end-users.

Rational Power Management (RPM)

The D Series platform's cornerstone is Rational Power Management (RPM), Lab Gruppen's exclusive technology empowering system designers and integrators with unparalleled control over output power allocation on individual channels. This ensures peak performance tailored to specific load demands. Unlike conventional amplifiers that often require "over-specification" to meet maximum power requirements, resulting in wasted capacity across channels, RPM revolutionizes this by efficiently redistributing power among the four channels. For instance, the D 120:4L, a star of the D Series, showcases this capability by allowing two channels to deliver a robust 5000 W each. This smart allocation optimizes available power, leaving any remaining capacity to be assigned to other channels handling less demanding loads. RPM not only enhances performance but also minimizes initial equipment costs and reduces rack space needs, a testament to its efficiency and versatility.

CAFE for Green Credentials

The D 120:4T boasts compatibility with the cutting-edge CAFE (Configuring Amplifiers For the Environment) software suite, allowing versatile configuration and monitoring capabilities. Beyond comprehensive system surveillance and RPM feature customization, CAFE introduces an innovative tool known as the Equipment Specification Predictor (ESP). ESP serves as a design aid by meticulously evaluating system and load prerequisites, subsequently offering precise recommendations for the installation. This includes suggested D Series unit models and quantities, anticipated heat generation, channel distribution, and current draw, facilitating accurate mains management. Additionally, ESP aids in the precise specification of cooling systems and UPS as needed, ensuring optimal performance tailored to the installation's specific requirements.

The Power of Lake Processing

The D Series Lake versions offer unparalleled input adaptability, harnessing the exclusive power of Lake processing algorithms for exceptional audio control and monitoring through the Lake Controller. Seamlessly integrating into Dante digital audio networks, these versions also support integration into other widely used networked digital matrix systems via third-party middleware. Each D Series Lake model features four comprehensive Lake Processing modules, ensuring four discrete channels of audio throughput from input to output. With selectable audio signals from analog, AES3 digital, and Dante networked digital inputs, individual channel input signals can be customized, even programmable failing over to analog when necessary. The onboard Lake processor boasts extensive functionalities, including group control with Raised Cosine™ MESA EQ™ asymmetric filters designed to match various loudspeaker system responses. Moreover, its LimiterMax™ peak and RMS limiters set industry standards for safeguarding loudspeakers while preserving sonic clarity.

Rational Power Management

RPM allows truly flexible allocation of the 12000 W of available power across all 4 channels of the D 120:4 to ensure the most efficient and rational use of amplifier inventory. With up to 2 channels capable of up to 5000 W without bridging (losing channel count), leaving remaining power to be allocated across other channels as required, D 120:4 is capable of meeting the demands of even power-hungry performance install applications

Lake Processing with DANTE

The robust power platform of D Series works hand-in-glove with dual integrated Lake Processing modules. Lake features such as Raised Cosine Equalization™, Limiter Max™ peak and RMS limiters, and Iso-Float™ ground isolation. AES3 digital and dual-redundant Dante networked inputs are standard for compliance in mission-critical PA/VA applications.

Real World Green Credentials

The integration of distinct power supply technologies, delivering exceptional and consistent low current draw to power output, alongside the innovative CAFE software, revolutionizes mains management. This results in significant cost savings on crucial infrastructure like cooling and UPS systems, effectively reducing both initial installation expenses and ongoing operational costs for venue audio systems.
