Description
The PLS8695v2 is a powered
full-range 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 PLS8695v2 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 - weather resistant, 6.5” woofers the PLS8695v2
produces full range bandwidth at extremely high sound pressure
levels.
The PLS8695v2 is suited for portable and permanent applications. The
PLS8695v2 utilizes two internal amplifiers with two recallable DSP
filter algorithms for one or two (or more) box configurations.

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 column also produces
cylindrical wave spreading or line
source behavior at lower frequencies,
which increases thrown distance.
-
Typical system SPL of a stack of two
LS8695v2 columns is 115dB at 60’.
