With rotatable half-horn assemblies offering symmetrical and asymmetrical patterns, this passive directivity control loudspeaker adapts its dispersion to room geometry. The black (RAL 9011) exterior-plywood enclosure carries IP54 weatherization with polyurea paint for installed indoor and covered outdoor use. It is a purpose-built solution for main and fill coverage in fixed-install reinforcement systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eProduct Description\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe PL-DC8 pairs an 8-inch neodymium LF transducer with a 2-inch voice coil and a 1-inch exit compression driver to deliver a system bandwidth of 61 Hz to 20 kHz (−3 dB) from an 11° trapezoidal enclosure. The reconfigurable and rotatable half-horn assemblies provide symmetrical 120° x 50° (default), 90° x 50°, or asymmetrical 105° (60°+45°) x 50° coverage. System sensitivity is 99 dB (120° x 50°) or 100 dB (90° x 50°), with continuous SPL up to 114 dB passive and 116 dB bi-amped. Power handling is 260 W continuous and 520 W program at 8 Ω. The cabinet supports passive operation at a 1.6 kHz crossover or bi-amp operation at 1.5 kHz. Connectivity includes two Speakon NL4 connectors and a parallel locking 4-pole Euroblock in an IP65-sealed input cup. Rigging uses 3x M10 on top and bottom, 2x M10 on the sides, and 4x M6 patterns for the PL-DC8-YM yoke mount and M10 KIT. IP54 weatherization with polyurea paint and an IP65 input cup supports challenging fixed-install environments. At 26.7 lbs, it delivers full-range output with flexible pattern control.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReconfigurable Coverage\u003c\/strong\u003e — Rotatable half-horn assemblies provide 120°, 90°, or asymmetrical 105° horizontal patterns.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e8-Inch Neodymium LF\u003c\/strong\u003e — Single driver with 2-inch voice coil delivers extended low-frequency reach down to 61 Hz (−3 dB).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAsymmetrical Horn Option\u003c\/strong\u003e — 60°+45° split coverage targets non-symmetrical seating from a single cabinet.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePassive or Bi-Amp Operation\u003c\/strong\u003e — Selectable crossover at 1.6 kHz passive or 1.5 kHz bi-amp adapts to system architecture.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTrapezoidal Enclosure\u003c\/strong\u003e — 11° cabinet geometry supports tight array clustering and corner placement.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eM10 Rigging\u003c\/strong\u003e — Multiple M10 and M6 points with M10 KIT and PL-DC8-YM yoke support flexible mounting.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIP54 Weatherization\u003c\/strong\u003e — Polyurea paint and IP65 input cup support covered outdoor installation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTypical Applications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHouse of worship — full-range reconfigurable coverage for sanctuaries and balconies.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAuditorium — main or fill coverage with pattern control tuned to the audience plane.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMulti-purpose room — adaptable dispersion with extended low-end for music and speech.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCommercial meeting space — high-output reinforcement for presentations and program audio.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGovernment space — installed coverage for council chambers and assembly halls.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"overflow-x:auto;\"\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eValue\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eType\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTwo-way passive\/bi-amp point source, bass reflex, trapezoidal 11°\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLF Transducer\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e8 in (200 mm), 2 in (50.8 mm) voice coil, neodymium\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHF Transducer\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCompression driver, 1 in (25.4 mm) exit, 1.75 in (44.5 mm) voice coil\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCoverage (H x V)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e120° x 50° (default);
