Lab Gruppen PLM 20000q BP

The Lab Gruppen PLM 20000Q BP is a high-powered, four-channel amplifier designed for professional audio applications in large venues, touring productions, and installations that demand robust, reliable performance. As part of Lab Gruppen’s acclaimed Powered Loudspeaker Management (PLM) series, the PLM 20000Q BP integrates both high-output amplification and advanced digital signal processing (DSP), making it a powerful tool for sound engineers looking to deliver consistent, high-quality sound across large spaces. Known for its impressive power output and precision, this amplifier is frequently used in concert sound reinforcement, theaters, arenas, and stadiums.

The PLM 20000Q BP delivers an enormous 5,000 watts per channel at 2.7 ohms, making it one of the most powerful amplifiers in its class. This exceptional power output allows it to drive large speaker arrays, including subwoofers and full-range systems, with ease and efficiency. The amplifier’s four channels give engineers the flexibility to configure the system to meet various sound reinforcement needs, from bi-amped systems to multi-zone setups. Its high-efficiency Class TD output stage ensures that the amplifier can deliver this power while maintaining low distortion and high audio fidelity, even under heavy load conditions.

One of the standout features of the PLM 20000Q BP is its integrated Lake DSP, which offers advanced loudspeaker processing capabilities, including EQ, delay, crossover management, and limiting. The Lake Controller software provides a highly intuitive interface for real-time adjustments, making it easy for engineers to fine-tune the sound system according to the acoustics of the venue. The DSP system also includes Lab Gruppen’s LoadSmart and SpeakerSafe technologies, which protect the amplifier and speakers from overloads, ensure proper system calibration, and monitor the health of the connected loudspeakers in real time. This makes the PLM 20000Q BP not just an amplifier but also a comprehensive loudspeaker management system.

The PLM 20000Q BP is also equipped with Dante digital audio networking, allowing for seamless integration with other Dante-enabled devices in the audio signal chain. This provides significant flexibility in system design and installation, as audio can be transmitted over long distances via standard Ethernet networks with minimal signal degradation. The amplifier’s rear panel features analog and AES/EBU digital inputs, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of audio sources. Additionally, the unit is designed to be highly efficient, with an innovative power management system that minimizes power consumption and heat generation, which is critical for large-scale touring and installations where power efficiency and reliability are essential.
