LAB GRUPPEN IPX 2400_US1 Compact 2400W 2-Channel DSP Controlled Power Amplifier (IPX 2400_US1)
The IPX 2400, with its high power density, competitive pricing, and efficient power consumption, indeed stands out as an exceptional amplifier solution. It's well-suited for a variety of applications, whether for permanent installations in various venues, as part of portable corporate AV systems, or to drive live PA setups. This compact yet robust amplifier offers a versatile solution that aligns with different audio needs, delivering a balance between power, efficiency, and affordability.
Muscles Meet Mind
The IPX 2400 doesn't just offer substantial power at 2 x 1200 W at 4 ohms; it combines this raw power with advanced features. At its core lies a sophisticated DSP engine, providing up to 40 real-time, multi-slope parametric EQs, customizable gain, input and output delay settings, and adjustable high- and low-pass filters that can be tailored to any frequency. Moreover, its DSP includes comprehensive protection mechanisms for your loudspeaker setup, featuring the innovative Speaker Protect Limiter, which can be easily configured using the IPX Controller software. This ensures not only powerful performance but also safeguards your speakers with tailored, software-controlled protections.
Take Control at the Rack or Anywhere
Having control at your fingertips is essential, and the IPX 2400 allows just that. Accessing input mixing, DSP functionalities, limiter settings, and more is a breeze through the front panel. The intuitive interface, featuring two navigation buttons, a rotary encoder, and a backlit display, offers easy navigation through various setup parameters. Furthermore, individual channel mute buttons and the capacity to store up to 100 user-defined presets directly on the device ensure quick adjustments and personalized settings without the need for additional interfaces or software.
The Fast and The Foolproof – One and the Same!
Most likely, you also want to take advantage of the advanced, Ethernet-based networked monitoring and control features. Network configuration is fast and foolproof due to the automatic discovery and identification of all connected amplifiers. The sleek GUI is designed for touch-based devices and enables quick grouping of amplifiers along with intuitive setup and preset storage of all DSP parameters.
Flexible I/O and Conversion Features
The IPX 2400's AES3 digital inputs allow direct connections to digital console stage boxes, enabling seamless integration or accepting AES input while offering on-board sample rate conversion between various sample frequencies within the digital domain. This eliminates the need for additional digital-analog and analog-digital conversion cycles. Moreover, the AES3 inputs provide an automatic fail-over to analog, ensuring continuous operation in critical scenarios, making it an ideal redundancy solution for uninterrupted performances or maintaining system integrity in mission-critical PA/VA applications. Additionally, the amplifier offers input mixing for all four inputs, and at the power output end, connections are available on binding posts or Neutrik speakON for versatile connectivity options.
IPX Controller
The IPX Controller software serves as the central control hub for the IPX Series, offering an intuitive and efficient graphical user interface (GUI). It allows comprehensive control over various aspects of DSP performance for each device within the network. Compatible with PC, Mac, and iPad, this software is optimized for touchscreen operation, and designed specifically to provide a seamless and user-friendly experience. Essentially, the IPX Controller grants users a distinct advantage in fine-tuning their audio systems to achieve optimal performance and precision.
Supercharged DSP Power
