Output Connectors - Lab.gruppen PLM series Quick Start Manual

7. Quick Guide Overview
AES/EBU link
A latching XLR3M connector is fitted adjacent to the AES/EBU input connector. This is paralleled to the input
connector to provide an unprocessed AES/EBU loop-thru to feed further PLMs, or other equipment. An
AES/EBU 110 ohm termination load is enabled by default when the PLM is the last unit connected within an
AES/EBU daisy-chained system. The termination may be disabled, if desired, via the front panel menu and
within the Lake Controller software.

7.2.2 Output connectors

The PLM is available with a choice of connectors for power outputs: binding posts or Neutrik Speakon.
Bridge mode operation: The PLM is capable of
bridge-mode operation, however the present
system management software does not support
this mode and therefore bridged operation is NOT
recommended.
Please contact plmsupport@labgruppen.com for further information on bridge-mode operation.
Binding posts
In this version, the power outputs for loudspeaker connection are available on four separate pairs of fully-
enclosed binding posts. (Channel configuration is model dependant)
Speakon connectors
The Speakon connector configuration differs on 2 and 4 channel PLM models. On 4-channel models, the
power outputs are simultaneously available on a single 8-pole Speakon connector, and on two 4-pole
Speakon connectors. The two 4-pole connectors carry the outputs of channels 1 & 2 and 3 & 4 respectively.
On 2-channel PLM models the two power output channels are available simultaneously on two 4-pole
Speakon connectors. Both connectors carry both channels. The second connector offers the channels in
reverse order. The table below shows the proper wiring scheme for these Speakon outputs.
