Worldwide - Dave Skaff, monitor mixer on U2's current Vertigo global tour, has chosen Lab.gruppen fP Series 2400Q amplifiers for power. Skaff was having trouble with the amplifiers originally supplied for the in-ear monitors and switched to Lab.gruppen after consulting trusted associates for advice, he says: "The Lab.gruppen amplifiers came top of the list", says Skaff.

Distributed exclusively in the UK by Sennheiser, the Lab.gruppen fP 2400Qs became the amplifier of choice and are being used to power in-ear monitor mixes for U2's drum, keyboard, and cue mixes. According to Skaff, they have been working flawlessly. "They sound very open and true, with no coloration," he says. "The reason I switched from the original amps was that they did not have enough front-end headroom and tended to color the sound on high transients in the mix. The fP 2400Qs were the piece I was missing to pull my mix together. The front-end headroom and the clean consistent power they provide will make them my ear monitor amp of choice from here out."

Dave Skaff has been with the band since 1985 and has a long and distinguished pedigree including work with Alicia Keys and Shania Twain among many others. U2's Vertigo Tour started its 2006 leg at the GRAMMYs, then travels through Mexico, South America, New Zealand and Australia with the finale scheduled for Japan.
