Lab Gruppen E8:2 800 Watt Amplifier

The Lab Gruppen E8:2 800 Watt Amplifier:

The Lab Gruppen E8:2 800 Watt Amplifier combines robust performance with a compact design, providing 800 watts of power across two flexible output channels in a 1U rack-mountable format. This configuration not only conserves rack space but also helps reduce system costs. The amplifier’s Energy Star certification ensures exceptional energy efficiency, delivering significant savings in operating costs over its lifespan. Its IntelliDrive technology allows each channel to output 400 watts at either 70V constant voltage or at various low impedances (2, 4, and 8 ohms), making it adaptable to a wide range of applications.

Flexibility extends to channel loading, as the E8:2 supports asymmetric loading, enabling the combination of different impedances to maximize system efficiency and inventory use. The amplifier’s high efficiency results in minimal heat generation, which lowers the demands on both mains distribution and cooling systems. At the core of the E8:2 is Lab Gruppen’s IDEEA technology, which features a state-of-the-art Class-D amplifier stage. This provides superior audio performance with low distortion and high power output. Comprehensive fail-safe protection ensures reliable operation even under challenging conditions.

To further enhance its practicality, the E8:2 includes features such as auto-standby and auto-power-on, reducing power consumption to below 1 watt during non-operational periods. The Rail Sense Limiter (RSL) reduces signal clipping, facilitating straightforward configuration for various loads. The amplifier also includes a built-in 50 Hz high-pass filter, per-channel attenuation knobs, and a temperature-controlled cooling fan. Its aluminum front panel features clear LEDs for power, temperature, and signal indication, while GPIO connectors allow for additional system integration.
