LAB GRUPPEN C 88:4_US1 8800W 4-Channel Amplifier with NomadLink Network Monitoring and Dedicated Control (C 88:4_US1)
Introducing the C 88:4, the unequivocal flagship of the C Series—an embodiment of unparalleled power and flexibility in a single-frame, 4-channel installation amplifier. Pioneering the realm of power, it delivers an astonishing 4 × 2200 W at 2 ohms, catering flawlessly to the most demanding installed sound applications. From larger subwoofers to expansive multi-power-level setups, this amplifier conquers them all with grace. All within a compact 2U chassis, the C 88:4 sets a new pinnacle for extreme power and adaptability in an installation-dedicated amplifier. Crafted for adaptability, C Series amplifiers redefine versatility. Equipped with individually configurable Voltage Peak Limiters (VPL™) on each channel, they harmonize their output with any loudspeaker load—be it a colossal subwoofer or an array of small 100/70 V speakers. The VPL, paired with adjustable input gain, ensures peak performance, effortlessly navigating through various input levels and output impedances. Unlocking the future, every C Series unit arrives primed for the NomadLink® network. Seamlessly access critical amplifier parameters via DeviceControl software. Command channel mutes and power on/off remotely through streamlined network control. Step into the future of installed sound with the C 88:4—where raw power meets adaptability and precision in perfect harmony.
