Sweden - Lab.gruppen reports that it enjoyed "a truly stellar" PLASA 2006. Tremendous interest was generated by the introduction of eight new models in the Lab.gruppen line, says the company, with the FP+ Series catching the attention of a variety of potential customers from major sound rental companies to theatre and AV specialists.

The C Series line extension models also garnered compliments. The four new 8- and 4-channel models are designed for use as part of large C Series installations and in stand-alone mode for boardrooms, audio/visual presentations, cafés, exhibits, bars and in general for applications where lower power per channel with quality sound is desired.

The FP+ Series, includes, the FP 13000 (2 x 6500 W), FP 10000Q (4 x 2500 W), FP 7000 (2 x 3500 W) and FP 6000Q (4 x 1500 W), all ratings at 2 ohms. The new C Series models are, C 20:8X (8 x 250 W), C 10:4X (4 x 250 W), C 10:8X (8 x 125 W) and C 5:4X (4 x 125 W), all ratings at 4, 8, 16 Ohms and 70V. All are 2U in size and very low in weight. FP+ models will start shipping in November with the C Series line extension models coming on to the market in January 2007.

Thomas Mittelman, Lab.gruppen's international sales manager noted, "I was stunned by the shear number and variety of people who made it to the top floor to visit the stand. No real "tyre-kickers", mostly high-level pros looking for a new solution to power. And FP+ has really stirred the market up."
