Energy Star Qualified

Our Energy Star-qualified products achieve an extraordinary balance: maintaining exceptionally low current draw even at high output levels and minimizing power consumption during non-operational cycles. This harmonious blend allows for Lab Gruppen's impeccable sonic performance and robust power output while seamlessly meeting the stringent efficiency benchmarks of today's Energy Star certification standards.

Small in Size, Huge in Benefits

Leveraging Lab Gruppen's renowned reputation for top-tier sonic performance and unwavering durability in the touring domain, the E Series steps into the installation market with a distinct competitive advantage. This lineup introduces an ultra-compact form factor, high operational efficiency, versatile output configurations, and an unparalleled cost-benefit proposition. At the core of the E Series lies Lab Gruppen's groundbreaking IDEEA (IntelliDrive Energy Efficient Amplifier) technology. Built around a patented Class D variant output stage, IDEEA achieves remarkable power output with minimal distortion, drawing minimal mains current in the process. Exclusive to the E Series, Lab Gruppen’s proprietary Rail Sensing Limiter (RSL) plays a pivotal role in maintaining audio integrity. By significantly curbing signal clipping, it ensures consistent, high-quality audio output under all circumstances. Moreover, the user-configurable RSL adapts effortlessly to Hi-Z (70 V) or Lo-Z configurations, adeptly sensing rail voltages to optimize each output for instantaneous load conditions. This setting flexibility extends to asymmetric channel loading, enhancing both performance and efficiency. Moreover, the total available output power can be dynamically allocated among the channels, enabling scenarios such as driving a small sub on one channel while powering a cluster of 70 V ceiling loudspeakers on another.

Lab Gruppen Performance with Energy Star Compliance

Lab Gruppen’s IDEEA architecture is the cornerstone of achieving complete Energy Star compliance, merging a net operating efficiency surpassing 80% with an ingenious auto-power-down feature. This innovative mechanism triggers after 20 minutes of no input signal, seamlessly transitioning the amplifier into standby mode, consuming less than 1 W. Once an input signal is detected, it swiftly reactivates, ensuring efficiency without compromising readiness. The inclusion of GPIO facilities further enhances functionality, enabling third-party systems to remotely oversee and govern the power state through contact closure. This level of control and monitoring elevates the amplifier’s adaptability within broader operational setups.

Smart Green Credentials with Our IDEEA Platform

The now-proven IntelliDrive Energy Efficient Amplifier (IDEEA) platform represents the latest evolution of our amplifier design philosophies, drawing from technologies in our flagship PLM Series, to create ingenious contractor solutions with supreme green credentials.

Flexible Asymmetric Loading

Maximize the potential of every unit, granting you the flexibility to allocate the total available output power unevenly between channels or consolidate all power into a single channel for mono use. This adaptability empowers you to effortlessly drive a small subwoofer through one channel while commanding a series of 70 V distributed ceiling loudspeakers through another.
