USA - SLS Loudspeakers unveiled its P-LS8695 powered compact line array speaker system at Winter NAMM 2005, a powered version of the LS8695 Compact Line Source Array. The new system incorporates a 24-bit, 96 kHz DSP processing engine to combine flat response with excellent sonic fidelity. Two high performance, high power digital amplifiers independently power the low and high frequency drivers. At the heart of the P-LS8695 is a robust, high-voltage, high current power supply.

The integrated low frequency amplifier provides a thundering 1000 Watts of power to drive the ultra clean low and mid frequency ranges, while the integrated high frequency amp provides 500 Watts of power to deliver crisp and accurate high frequencies capable of meeting the enhanced bandwidth of today's 24-bit, 96 kHz digital format. The input to the amplifier section is fully balanced with adjustable sensitivity and a balanced transmitter is included for looping multiple P-LS8695 systems. A selectable 80kHz High Pass Filter for the low frequency section when using the P-LS8695 with an additional subwoofer is available. An LED status indication for power, protect, peak, and signal presence rounds out the feature set.
