PL 80/A
HIGH EFFICIENCY CEILING SPEAKER
DESCRIPTION
The PL 80/A is a ceiling speaker featuring elegant design that can be flushmounted in false ceilings or panels. It can also be attached to walls or
ceilings using a special accessory for surface mount installation.
The PL 80/A incorporates a 200 mm (8”) dual cone loudspeaker that
improves high frequency extension, and it is equipped with a line transformer
that enables direct connection to constant voltage systems at 50 V or 100 V;
a low impedance input (4 Ohm) is available as well.
When connected to a 100 V, its power can be selected among the values 6
W, 3 W, 1.5 W , 0.75 W or 0.37 W through the selection of transformer inputs
wire.
Installation is quick and easy thanks to a special three metal brackets system
that avoids the need for using screws or other attachment elements.

Once removed the frontal grille the speaker can be simply and quickly
installed into a hole in the ceiling cavity, secured by 3 metal brackets leadscrew rotating clamps.

The electrical connections are clearly labelled and made through the
transformer.
The power can be easily selected by using common wire and the positive wire
using the legend of the power available on the speaker.
Before the installation, verify that behind the false-ceiling there is enough
room for loudspeakers: with respect to the loudspeaker front flange surface
plane, an empty space at least 100 mm depth is required.
The PL 80/A is intended for indoor installations only..
RCF products are continually improved. All specifications are therefore subject to change without notice.
