Lab.gruppen #1105

Lab.gruppen is a Swedish manufacturer of professional audio equipment, world-renowned for its high-power amplifiers for touring and PA (sound reinforcement) systems. It produces power amplifiers and digital signal processing systems (including Lake DSP).

The company was founded in 1979 in Kungsbacka, Sweden, by Kenneth Andersson and Dan Bävholm, who met as schoolboys with a shared interest in electronics; their first professional power amplifier was developed at a local hi-fi shop. In 2000, Lab.gruppen was acquired by the British TGI Group, and in 2002 it passed to the Danish TC Group; in 2015, along with other TC Group brands, it became part of Music Group (Music Tribe). In 2022 the company ceased manufacturing in Sweden, moving production to facilities in Thailand, China, and Malaysia.
