Array Frame for PL-LA8 Loudspeakers

Versatile, Weather-Resistant Rigging Frame for Line Array Deployment

The Array Frame for PL-LA8 loudspeakers is a compact, high-strength rigging solution designed for flexible suspension or ground-stacking of line arrays in professional AV environments. Built from zinc-plated steel with advanced UV- and salt spray-resistant powder coating, this frame is engineered for long-term durability and secure mechanical integration in both touring and fixed-install applications.

With support for both up-tilt and down-tilt configurations, and a dense pattern of rigging points, the frame allows installers to precisely aim arrays and adapt quickly to venue requirements—all while meeting rigorous structural and safety standards.

Key Features and Benefits

• Rugged Zinc-Plated Construction
  Manufactured from zinc-coated steel with a 1000-hour UV exposure rating and 200-hour salt spray test compliance, offering maximum protection in exposed or corrosive environments.
• High-Density Rigging Grid
  Includes 3 sets of 11 rigging points, each spaced 50.8 mm apart, located across the frame’s exterior rails and center spine—enabling fine-grain angle adjustments and array control.
• Dual Mounting Orientation
