FEATURES

The factory default presets may be modified and new 'custom' presets may be 'built', thanks to the complete programmability of the controller's functions:

• PLM6800 incorporates an 'intelligent wiring' system, which provides input and output routing and connector switching (both line in/out and power out) according to the operating configuration selected in the processor.
• The rear panel is fitted with six Speakon® output connectors (two 8-pole and four 4-pole), allowing for rapid cabling of the PalcoPlus components, and also permitting the connection of four full-range or one-way cabinets. This multiple-output wiring, which would otherwise seem risky to the speakers if erroneously wired, is made quite safe by the DSP section, which uses internal relays to connect only the correct contacts of the connectors appropriate to the selected preset, disconnecting the unnecessary and otherwise potentially dangerous connections. This same 'intelligent wiring' concept is applied to the four XLR3 line output connectors. These outputs can be set to operate as input links or as processed outputs, thereby facilitating the wiring of multiple systems, and systems combining the PLM6800 with traditional, unprocessed amplifiers.
• The mains power connectors are Neutrik PowerCon®, guaranteeing resistance against vibrations and accidental disconnections.
• PLM6800 features three separate power supplies, one for the DSP controller section and one for each pair of power amplifiers.
• The state-of-the-art power amps are fitted with a full suite of protection circuits to safeguard the amps as well as the connected speaker enclosures. The switched-mode power supplies, with power-factor correction, can operate on mains voltages from 85 to 270 V AC (50/60 Hz).
• PLM6800 is built with heavy-duty, road-ready materials, and features a laser-etched front panel, built from aluminum and stainless steel, which will stand forever against scratches and abrasions. The small (two units) height, the front-to-back cooling system (which allows installing the amplifiers in racks without leaving empty spaces for cooling) and the reduced weight make it possible to assemble small and lightweight amplifiers racks, thus simplifying transportation and installation.
• Two RJ45 connectors provide RS485FD serial interfaces on two RJ45 Ethercon® connectors, for network control using the RAConPLM™ software.
