LabGruppen PLM 20000Q amplificator

For forward-thinking rental companies and high-end installation designers, the key benefits of the PLM™ Series include:



* Optimum sound for greater audience (and client) satisfaction

* Better inventory utilization for reduced operating costs

* Faster set-up to meet tight touring schedules and installation deadlines

* A higher level of reliability through reduced errors and intelligent preventive maintenance

* A greater long-term return on your investment

* All of these benefits are accompanied by the audio quality and controllability that’s expected of two of the industry’s leading audio innovators: Lab.gruppen and Lake®



For assured reliability, all PLM Series products are built and tested – with meticulous attention to detail – exclusively by Lab.gruppen in Sweden.

Powered Loudspeaker Management™ has clear advantages over conventional amplifier / processing / system control solutions when it comes to both sonic performance and ease of use. Even better, over the long run, it will amply reward users concerned with the realities of running a business.



Initial Cost Analysis



In terms of initial investment, systems based on Powered Loudspeaker Management compare favorably with those employing separate power amplification, signal distribution, and system drive processing. Furthermore, after factoring in smaller equipment racks, less wiring, and reduced labor time for system configuration, the initial investment figures for the PLM Series become even more impressive.



Even better, the cumulative savings continue to accrue after your PLM Series units are put into service.



Touring: Reduced Operating Expenses



The PLM Series is designed for the realities of touring sound, where time, size and weight are money. It’s a business where inadvertent errors — often committed in haste — can prove costly, and where equipment sitting idle in the warehouse shrinks the return on investment.



The PLM Series reins in operating costs across the board:



* High power density reduces rack size and weight, which in turn reduces labor and transport costs

* Inventory utilization is maximized: one rack can be reconfigured for any FOH array or monitor application with a click on a preset button.

* Loads can be verified with LoadSmart™ in seconds, saving time and pinpointing possible wiring errors – ensuring what’s connected is what should be

* SpeakerSafe™ provides detailed, critical information about system-wide driver performance

* IsoFloat™ ground isolation saves time chasing down ground loops

* Dante™ self-configuring digital audio networking saves time in initial setup, and saves on transport and labor costs compared to conventional copper snakes



Installation: Space- and Labor-saving Innovations



The PLM Series simplifies system design, saves rack space, and makes the entire commissioning process faster and more accurate. With built-in Dante digital audio capability, the PLM Series plugs straight into today’s new generation of fully networked performance venues – often eliminating the need for dedicated wiring. The venue owner accrues additional savings over the lifetime of the system as PLM’s advanced load verification features allow timely and accurate preventive maintenance.
