3.2 Positioning
The PLS8695 has a very defined vertical dispersion, which helps prevent interaction with the floor and ceiling and
extends the nearfield listening area. It is important to set the speaker so the bottom of the box is approximately at
chest height of the first listeners. The speaker may be tilted for proper positioning relative to the coverage area. It
is highly recommended that our free LASS aiming software be used to set the position and angle of the
PLS8695(s).
3.3 AC Mains Connection
The AC mains power cord is connected to the front panel through the blue Neutrik Powercon. The mating cable end
connector is a Neutrik NAC3FCA. The grey Powercon connector is a power outlet that allows looping to adjacent
PLS8695’s. The looping outlet mating cable connector is a Neutrik NAC3FCB. Up to (2) PLS8695’s can be used on
a single 20 amp circuit.
3.4 Audio Connection
The PLS8695 accepts a balanced audio signal at the XLR audio input connector located on the back panel. Pin 3
is high signal. The input is transformer balanced with an input impedance of 15K Ohms. Connect an appropriate
XLR cable between an audio source (mixer, processor, etc.) to the balanced input connector. Unbalanced connec-
tions can be accomplished by grounding pin 2 or 3 of the XLR audio input connector through the use of an appropri-
ate adapter or cable. A buffered loop output is provided for additional PLS8695s and/or active subwoofers.
3.5 Power Connection
Prior to connecting the power cord and turning on the amplifier, always verify the line voltage selection switch is set
for the correct AC voltage present in the region of use. The PLS8695 is designed to operate on either 115VAC or
230VAC by using the line voltage selection switch. Damage may occur to the electronics if the speaker is powered
up with the line voltage selector switch in the incorrect position. Once set to the proper range, the amplifier will
regulate the internal voltages so that output power does not change with supply voltage.
3.6 Audio Level Control
The PLS8695 is equipped with a detented audio level control for use in setting the overall audio level. Set this
control to the desired position based upon the nominal gain structure desired.
3.7 80Hz High Pass Filter (in - disabled; out - enabled)*
The PLS8695 is equipped with an 80Hz 2nd-order Butterworth high pass filter for use in applications having a
subwoofer or for restricting the low frequencies in speech only systems. The filter may be enabled or disabled by
using the 80Hz HPF switch located on the back panel.
