Lab Gruppen PD3000 - 3kW Two-Channel Amplifier with Precise Power Management

Here's what Lab Gruppen say...

The PD3000

The PD3000 is a two-channel amplifier delivering 2 X 1500W of power for entry/mid-level live sound applications. PD Series amplifiers employ our unique IDEEA Class-D output stage that is ideally matched to the rated power output. To provide flexibility, each channel offers sufficient voltage swing and current capacity to drive loads in any impedance without any additional configuration. In order to have low thermal losses as well as a high voltage swing, the design is based on a permanently bridged output.

Lab Gruppen PD3000 power amplifier is designed and built with competitive price, good performance and protection features in mind. Each amplifier draws on the engineering that has made Lab Gruppen the benchmark of quality for touring concert systems: exceptional sonic performance, rugged construction, proven reliability, and protection features that anticipate every unwelcome possibility.

Applications

PD3000 is a proven and reliable Class-D amplifier and can provide superb audio performance in both background and foreground music sound systems. PD3000 suits a wide range of applications such as entry/mid-level touring, live portable sound, hotels, bars and restaurants, house of worship, performance spaces, and many more.

Simple Control

Just plug it in, crank it up and play. The comprehensive circuit protection will protect your PD3000 and your speakers against short circuits, DC and thermal overload.

Inputs

Balanced XLR and TRS input and linking connectors with optimized sensitivities. Easy set up with configuration of modes and X-over functionality.

Speaker Outputs

PD3000 amplifier employ our unique IDEEA Class-D output stage that is ideally matched to the rated power output. To provide flexibility, each channel offers sufficient voltage swing and current capacity to drive loads in any impedance without any additional configuration. In order to have low thermal losses as well as a high voltage swing, the design is based on a permanently bridged output.

Rugged and Lightweight Rack Mount Chassis

Appropriate and reliable power amplification is vital to any audio system. Inadequate or faulty power amplifiers could cause damage to loudspeakers, or in some cases to the power amplifiers themselves. To prevent damage or service interruptions, the PD3000 amplifier offer advanced features to protect both internal circuits and connected loads.
