Lab.gruppen and AFMG have announced FIRmaker integration with Lab.gruppen’s PLM (Powered Loudspeaker Management) Series amplifier platforms, allowing optimisation of line array performance using precisely calculated FIR filters. Using this arrangement, systems can be tuned to any venue or set-up within minutes.

While Lab.gruppen’s Powered Loudspeaker Management amplifiers are a common sight with major rental houses, powering some of the world’s biggest tours, events and installations, leading hardware manufacturers have been involved with the integration of FIRmaker technology into their platforms for the past months. Key AFMG partner, Lab.gruppen, see great potential for this technology in combination with the PLS platform: ‘Even SPL coverage to every seat in the house… using any line array loudspeaker system… driven by Lab.gruppen PLM Series. This is something we are very excited about, and pleased to be a part of,’ says Lab.gruppen Product Manager, Martin Andersson. ‘It’s early days, but all the results we’ve seen so far are extremely positive and we will be putting our full weight behind progressing this and taking it to its full potential.’

‘Lab.gruppen has immediately recognised the opportunities of our new FIRmaker technology,’ says Stefan Feistel, AFMG MD. ‘As we were able to show at Pro Light & Sound, all PLM Series amplifiers can interface with FIRmaker. We are very happy that one of the most-valued amplifier manufacturers supports our development. Surely thousands of users of both new as well as existing systems will soon benefit from this integration.’
