Lab.gruppen IPX 1200
Compact 1200 Watt 2-Channel DSP-Controlled Power Amplifier
Overview
The Lab.gruppen IPX 1200 is a highly advanced, 2-channel Class-D power amplifier that bridges the gap between raw muscle and precision digital processing. Engineered to deliver 1200 watts of total power in a sleek, 1U rack-mountable chassis, it is the ultimate workhorse for portable corporate AV systems, live PA setups, and permanent venue installations. At its core lies a cutting-edge DSP engine featuring 40 real-time, multi-slope parametric EQs, variable crossovers, and Lab.gruppen's renowned Speaker Protect Limiter. With its robust AES3 digital inputs offering seamless analog failover and ultra-efficient IDEEA power consumption technology, the IPX 1200 ensures your audio system operates safely, efficiently, and with uncompromising sonic clarity night after night.
