Lab Gruppen PLM14000/BP

Lab.Gruppen's PLM14000BP extends the PLM Series with a two-input, two-output power platform optimized for high-power requirements, making it ideal for demanding subwoofer and low-end applications with loading down to 2 ohms.  Beyond amplification, the PLM14000BP seamlessly integrates networked audio distribution, drive processing, and load verification with real-time performance monitoring into a single hardware unit plus unified software controller.  As a cohesive system, the PLM14000BP affords significant advantages when compared to conventional approaches utilizing separate components.
