Lab Gruppen E12-2ComercialAmplifier

Lab Gruppen E12-2 Commercial Amplifier delivers 2 x 600 W Class D power in a compact 1U design, offering high efficiency, flexible output configurations, and exceptional audio quality for professional installations.

Overview

Building on Lab Gruppen’s reputation for sonic excellence and durability, the E12-2 amplifier combines an ultra-compact size with high operating efficiency and output flexibility. At its core is the patented IDEEA (IntelliDrive Energy Efficient Amplifier) technology, which produces high power with very low distortion while minimising mains current draw.

The amplifier features a proprietary Rail Sensing Limiter (RSL) that reduces signal clipping and ensures high-quality audio output. Users can configure output thresholds for Hi-Z (70 V) or Lo-Z (69.3 V peak) settings. The RSL circuit optimises output for instantaneous load conditions and supports asymmetric loading, allowing unequal power distribution between channels or mono operation. This flexibility enables driving a subwoofer on one channel and 70 V distributed ceiling loudspeakers on the other.

Performance and Efficiency

The E12-2 amplifier’s high-headroom power supply and dual-range RSL enable asymmetric loading, allowing one channel to deliver undistorted power beyond its nominal rating when the other channel’s load is lighter. For example, it can output 1100 W into 4 ohms on one channel while delivering 100 W into a 70 V system on the other.

With a peak output power to AC mains current draw ratio of approximately 400:1, the amplifier offers remarkable efficiency. This reduces power consumption and can eliminate the need for supplementary power sources like diesel generators during tours or installations.
