Lab Gruppen IPX 2400 - 1200W 2-Channel at 4-Ohm Power Amplifier with DSP and 2 x SpeakON/Binding Post Outputs in Black Finish

The Lab Gruppen IPX 2400 is a high-performance 2-channel amplifier that combines compact design, efficient power delivery, and cutting-edge DSP control, making it an ideal choice for a wide variety of professional applications, from permanent installations to portable AV systems and live sound setups. With a powerful output of 2 x 1200W at 4 ohms, the IPX 2400 delivers reliable and pristine sound, all packed into a 1U rackmountable form factor. This amplifier is built to meet the demands of users who require both high output power and exceptional audio quality in a highly efficient package.

At the heart of the IPX 2400 is its advanced Class-D output stage, designed for maximum power density and energy efficiency. With Lab Gruppen's IDEEA (IntelliDrive Energy Efficient Amplifier) technology, the amplifier ensures low mains current draw, making it both power-conserving and cost-efficient. The inclusion of an intuitive DSP engine adds even more versatility, offering up to 40 real-time, multi-slope parametric equalizers that allow users to precisely shape the audio signal to match the needs of their system. In addition to EQ control, the DSP provides adjustable gain, input and output delays, and customizable high- and low-pass filters, which can be adjusted to any desired frequency to optimize sound performance across different venues.

The IPX 2400 also features the renowned Speaker Protect Limiter, a software-controlled limiter that safeguards loudspeakers from excessive levels and helps maintain system integrity. The DSP-driven limiter, configurable via the IPX Controller software, enables users to create presets that are stored onboard for easy access. With up to 50 user-defined presets available, the IPX 2400 offers flexibility in system configuration, making it perfect for environments where multiple setups or preset storage is required. Whether you are dealing with touring, installations, or portable AV systems, this amplifier provides the control and protection needed for smooth operation.

For users seeking efficient networked control, the IPX 2400 excels with its Ethernet-based monitoring and control capabilities. The amplifier features automatic discovery and identification, allowing for a fast and foolproof network setup. The intuitive graphical user interface (GUI) of the IPX Controller software, available for both PC and Mac, enables easy configuration, grouping, and control of all connected amplifiers. This touch-friendly interface ensures that users can quickly adjust and store DSP settings and amplifier parameters, making it perfect for both novice and expert users alike.

The IPX 2400 supports AES3 and analog inputs, providing compatibility with both digital and traditional audio sources. The AES3 input supports automatic failover to analog in case of a digital signal loss, ensuring that audio playback continues uninterrupted - making this amplifier a great choice for mission-critical applications. Output connections are versatile as well, with Neutrik speakON and binding post connectors available for speaker outputs, providing flexibility depending on the setup requirements. Whether you are using it for a full PA system or as part of a distributed audio setup, the IPX 2400 provides the flexibility to handle different types of speaker loads and wiring configurations.

In addition to its powerful performance, the IPX 2400 includes several built-in protections to ensure reliable operation in demanding conditions. The amplifier features thermal and DC protection, ensuring safe and stable operation even with reactive or mismatched loads. The built-in cooling system uses a continuously variable speed fan with front-to-back airflow, ensuring that the unit stays cool during extended use, even at peak power levels. The IPX 2400 also boasts a soft start and inrush current draw management, which ensures a smooth power-up and minimizes electrical surges.

With its combination of advanced DSP control, powerful output capabilities, networked monitoring, and rugged build quality, the Lab Gruppen IPX 2400 is the ideal amplifier for users who need high performance, flexibility, and efficiency in a compact form factor. Whether for permanent installations, portable systems, or live PA applications, the IPX 2400 offers the performance and reliability that audio professionals demand.
