INTRODUCTION
ED point source systems are designed for indoor and outdoor sound reinforcement applicaons
ranging from clubs, bars and restaurants to theatres, live music venues, houses of worship and theme
environments. Passive ED series loudspeaker systems are easy to set up and simple to operate.
The ED80P consists of an 8” LF drive unit and a 1” HF compression driver loaded by an asymmetric
HF horn in a compact enclosure, designed for many mul-purpose sound reinforcement acvies. The
asymmetric HF coverage paern, varying from 120° horizontal in the lower part of the horn for more
eecve near eld coverage, and narrowing to 60° horizontal at the top of the horn for more focused
coverage in the far eld. The result is more accurate coverage of a typical auditorium than is possible
with a xed horizontal coverage device. The HF horn is also rotatable through 90° by simply removing
four screws and realigning the horn, so that coverage can also be opmised for stage monitor use. This
rotatable horn feature also makes it possible to maintain the ideal coverage paern when the cabinet
is installed in a horizontal (landscape) orientaon. Its asymmetric dispersion paern provides opmal
coverage of typical rectangular venues, with wider dispersion at the front and narrower dispersion at
the rear.
This versale loudspeaker can also be used as a low prole stage monitor with its 35° tapered side,
and in this situaon the HF horn can be rotated to maintain the best coverage paern for performers
both near to and further away from the monitor. ED80P cabinet is an unobtrusive and compact format
designed for a multude of near eld applicaons such as theatre under-balcony ll, stage front ll,
delay speaker, bar and restaurant audio, and discreet stage monitor. A pole mount socket make this a very versale loudspeaker in both portable
and permanently installed applicaons.

2) Unscrew the 4 screws fixing the horn and
rotate the horn by 90°.

REAR PANEL
INPUT - Power input for the external amplier. The ED80P includes a passive crossover for ltering the signal. It includes also an internal protecon
that limits any excessive power to the HF secon and, if the signal persists for a long me, it excludes the HF secon. The connecons are the
following:
INPUT - LINK
NL4 pin number internal connecon
1+ +
1- -
2+ none (pass thru)
2- none (pass thru)
LINK - Power output in parallel with the INPUT socket for connecng the unit to another
speaker. The number of ED80P cabinets that can be connected in parallel depends on the
amplier load capacity.
HORN ORIENTATION
ED80P features an asymmetrical horn that can be rotated in a few minutes for obtaingn the best coverage according to the speaker conguraon.
KPTED80B WALL or TRUSS MOUNTING
Using the “C” shape bracket the ED80P loudspeaker can be installed to walls or mounted to trusses in combinaon combining with a PLH295.
It allows to aim the speaker in one direcon (vercal or horizontal) in 7 steps (-22.5°,-15°,-7.5°,0°,+7.5°,+15°,+22.5°).
