FP 14000, the new flagship model of the FP+ Series, advances this tradition by further augmenting effective power output to effortlessly handle extreme low-frequency loads.The Regulated Switch Mode Power Supply (R.SMPS) has been updated to provide more sustained high power during extended bursts of low frequency content, while at the same time ensuring stable rail voltages even with wide fluctuations of external mains voltage. The forceful, high-current (83 A peak) output stage relies on LAB GRUPPEN’s patented Class TD topology, a breakthrough in amplifier technology that approaches the efficiency of Class D while retaining the sonic purity of proven Class B designs. A highly refined and efficient circuit layout further optimizes the interaction of R.SMPS and Class TD to produce the unprecedented power density of the FP 14000.
