The Lab.gruppen 2400Qs became the amplifiers of choice and are being used to power ear monitor mixes for the drum, keyboard, and cue mixes. According to Skaff they have been working flawlessly. "They sound very open and true, with no colouration," he says. "The reason I switched was that the amps I was using did not have enough front-end headroom and tended to colour the sound on high transients in the mix. The fP 2400Q's 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."
