Lab.gruppen at The Greek

Sweden - The Greek Theatre, an award-winning 5,800-seat open-air amphitheater located at the edge of Griffith Park close to Hollywood, has earned an enviable reputation providing high-performance sound in an intimate environment. When the time came to replace the power amplifiers, Schubert Systems - the company responsible for supplying and operating the Greek's state-of-the-art PA rig - decided to integrate Lab.gruppen PLM Series Powered Loudspeaker Management systems and FP+ Series amplifiers at what many consider to be the Number 1 US outdoor venue.

"I have admired the company's product line for many years," says company founder Dirk Schubert. "We received one of the first pallets of amps shipped to the US in 2002, and adopted Lab.gruppen for our systems the first time we listened to them. No other amplifier makes a rig sound as good as Lab.gruppen. I particularly like the new PLMs with built-in Dolby Lake processing, because they offer a truly integrated solution that is ideal for today's very challenging market."

The new all-Lab.gruppen configuration, inaugurated in early May, features Lab.gruppen FP 10000Q four-channel amplifiers powering the main left and right JBL VerTec line arrays, with PLM Powered Loudspeaker Management four-channel models handling everything else: subwoofers, center-, terrace- and front-fills plus delay speakers.
