Japan - Japanese sound company Tokyo Onkyo Tsushin Kenkyusho Ltd (a.k.a. Onken) has taken delivery of a large number of power amplifiers from Lab.gruppen - no less than 132 units of Lab.gruppen's flagship model fP 6400. Each fP 6400 can supply up to 6,400W at a weight of only 10kg (22lbs) per unit, the complete package could produce a total output power of close to 850,000W!

Onken, one of the leading sound providers in Japan, will divide the order between its warehouses in Tokyo and Osaka. The Lab.gruppen fP 6400s will be driving the McCauley Monarc MLA5 line array system that was purchased at the same time. The equipment will be used in varying set-ups, mainly on tours and at large-scale events.

Kiyoshi Yamaki, sales manager of Lab.gruppen's local distributor MTC Japan, said that Onken had always been impressed with the sonic performance of Lab.gruppen amplifiers, adding that the "proven reliability, flexibility and ease of use, even with unstable mains voltages, makes the fP Series the ideal power tool for ever-changing environments."
