Description
The LS8695v2 is a bi-amped true
line source array column, which produces an extremely tight vertical
sound field. Stacking columns will increase throw distances and
produce tighter vertical control at lower frequencies. The LS8695v2
high frequency module features a continuous array of nine high
performance PRD500 planar ribbon transducers designed and
manufactured by SLS Loudspeakers.
The unique design and properties of the planar ribbon driver allows
precise acoustical coupling of the array and hence, full utilization
of line source (cylindrical waves) benefits. Coupled with eight,
close coupled 6.5” woofers the LS8695v2 produces full range
bandwidth at extremely high sound pressure levels.
The LS8695v2 is suited for portable and permanent applications.
Portable applications can use the optional FT8695 floor stand.
Key Features |
-
Direct radiating planar
PRD500 ribbon high
frequency line source
module delivers
unsurpassed sound
quality
-
True line source
behavior due to precise
acoustical coupling of
individual PRD500 high
frequency transducers
-
Two-Way with (8) 6.5” LF
and (9) PRD500 Ribbons
-
64Hz to 20,000Hz
Operating Range
-
Recommended amplifier
power for bi-amp: LF
1600W @ 4 Ohms, HF 1300W
@ 8 Ohms
-
Maximum Calculated @ 1
meter Continuous Output
for bi-amp & active: LF
129dB, HF 129dB
Cylindrical wave
radiation:
- Produces loss of 3dB
loss per doubling of
distance as opposed to
the 6dB loss of a point
source system.
- Greatly restricts
vertical spreading of
sound field which
significantly reduces
ceiling and floor
reflections –
dramatically improving
direct to reverberant
ratios
-
Column array places
sound source on the same
plane as performers
creating better
localization
-
Extremely wide
horizontal coverage
-
Even and easily
predictable coverage
-
Incredible feedback
immunity compared to
point source systems

Applications
Developed for a wide range of professional
applications where the highest quality and
intelligibility of sound is required -
especially effective in highly reverberant
and/or elongated spaces.
- Sound
reinforcement in churches and
auditoriums
-
Portable PA system for a variety of
applications
- Stack
columns to achieve taller vertical sound
field for raked seating applications
-
Stacking columns also produces line
source behavior at lower frequencies,
which increases thrown distance.
-
Typical system SPL of a stack of two
LS8695AX columns is 115dB at 60’.
