13.5M Watts – One Click

Harness The Power of FP+ With NomadLink® and DeviceControl

Lab.gruppen’s robust NomadLink network, in conjunction with companion DeviceControl PC software, gives you one-click control of key amplifier functions while keeping close tabs on all critical operating parameters. The NomadLink network can connect your laptop PC to as many as 960 Lab.gruppen FP+ Series amplifiers.

Every FP+ Series amplifier equipped with a NomadLink module as standard, making it DeviceControl-ready. Add the optional NLB 60E NomadLink Bridge & Network Controller and your network can be up and running in a matter of minutes. To create a NomadLink network, you simply daisy-chain the In and Out network ports of your amplifiers by snapping in standard Cat-5 cables. Then you connect the first and last amplifiers to the network ports on NLB 60E to form a closed loop. No custom wiring and no software configuration are required.

NomadLink is a robust, fully redundant network that is essentially bulletproof. Also, because NomadLink employs a phantom-powered loop (DC power from the NLB 60 to all amplifier modules), you will maintain full network communication even if an amplifier in the system should power off accidentally.

Local control and Ethernet extension

The NLB 60E functions as stand-alone unit when all you need is basic monitoring and control. Large front panel keys and displays let you power-up and power-down all networked amplifiers, and provide an on-the-spot check for fault indications.

However, most users also will want use the NLB 60E as an Ethernet-to-NomadLink bridge in order to access the enhanced feature set of the DeviceControl software. DeviceControl is a powerful tool for real-time monitoring and control as well as offline system configuration. The flexible GUI allows multi-level monitoring of amplifier status, from at-a-glance fault monitoring for an entire system down to detailed status reports on one selected amplifier channel. Channels may be freely configured in groups for simultaneous on/off, mute or solo commands. Also, a handy “match” feature allows a preconfigured system setup to be compared to the actual setup downloaded from the network, ensuring that the intended design was properly configured as a physical system.

Options open, now and in the future

NomadLink is a robust network dedicated exclusively to monitoring and control of Lab.gruppen amplifiers. It works alongside your existing drive-chain DSP units and signal distribution systems – and their software control programs, if any – without rendering anything obsolete. You do not have to alter, reprogram, reconfigure or replace anything to accommodate NomadLink.

When you invest in the FP+ Series and NomadLink, you are not locked into one proprietary system, format, or fixed AD/DA conversion standard. You are free to continue using your existing inventory of drive DSP units as well as your digital or analog snake systems. You can upgrade as you please, whenever costs and technological advances suit your particular needs. You can be confident that your FP+ amplifiers and NomadLink network will remain fully compatible at each stage of your future upgrading program.

* If all those amplifiers all happen to be FP 14000s, then indeed you could wield the power of – to be exact – 13,440,000 watts. And if this system is ever created, please notify the Guinness Book of Records immediately!
