With a 100x15 degree dispersion pattern and IP54-rated weatherization, this passive line array module delivers controlled vertical coverage and high intelligibility for indoor and covered outdoor applications. The impact-resistant ABS enclosure supports both passive and bi-amp operation, giving system designers flexibility in amplifier and DSP deployment. It is a purpose-built solution for scalable, low-visibility fixed-install line array systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eProduct Description\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe PL-LA8 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 69 Hz to 20 kHz (-3 dB). System sensitivity is 101.5 dB (1 W\/1 m), with continuous SPL reaching 116 dB in passive mode and 120 dB when bi-amped. The bass reflex enclosure can be ground-stacked up to 4 cabinets or flown up to 14 cabinets when configured with the required PL-LA8-AF array frame. Eight discrete rigging angles from 0.5 to 12 degrees allow precise vertical splay tuning for each deployment. Connectivity includes two Speakon NL4 connectors and a parallel locking 4-pole Euroblock, all housed in an IP65-sealed input cup. The white RAL 9003 finish, stainless hardware, UV-treated grille, and hydrophobic mesh make the cabinet suitable for demanding fixed-install environments where aesthetics matter. At 27.4 lbs, the cabinet balances output density with manageable rigging weight for integrators.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWhite RAL 9003 Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e — Light-toned ABS enclosure blends with ceilings and pale architectural surfaces.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e100x15 Degree Coverage\u003c\/strong\u003e — Wide horizontal dispersion with tight vertical control for even audience coverage.\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 varied system architectures.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNeodymium LF Transducer\u003c\/strong\u003e — 8-inch driver with 2-inch voice coil reduces weight while maintaining output for flown arrays.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eScalable Deployment\u003c\/strong\u003e — Ground-stack up to 4 or fly up to 14 cabinets with the PL-LA8-AF array frame.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEight Rigging Angles\u003c\/strong\u003e — Discrete splay settings from 0.5 to 12 degrees enable precise array shaping.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIP54 Weatherization\u003c\/strong\u003e — Stainless hardware, UV-treated grille, and hydrophobic mesh support covered outdoor use.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIP65 Sealed Input Cup\u003c\/strong\u003e — Dual Speakon NL4 and parallel Euroblock connectors protected against moisture ingress.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTypical Applications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHouse of worship — even vocal and music coverage with a low-visibility white finish in light-toned sanctuaries.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAuditorium — scalable arrays delivering consistent SPL while blending with architectural surfaces.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMulti-purpose room — flexible line array coverage for events ranging from speech to live music.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCommercial meeting space — high intelligibility for presentations and amplified program audio.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGovernment space — reliable installed reinforcement 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 installation line array, bass reflex\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\u003e100x15 degrees\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSystem Bandwidth (-3 dB)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e69 Hz - 20 kHz\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCrossover\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1.6 kHz (passive);
