PL-12 Distributed Mode Loudspeaker

The Tectonic PL-12 is best suited for larger installations and live sound reinforcement applications where high SPL and heavy duty cycles are a requirement. With two DML bending wave panels, the PL-12 spreads the low-mid to high frequency workload over a total of eight panel exciter motors; double the number of other PL-Series products. A single large format horn-loaded ribbon transducer provides high frequency extension up to 22kHz.
