CLEANING THE APPLIANCE:
Clean by wiping with a polished cloth slightly dipped with water. Avoid getting water inside the unit. Do not
use volatile liquids such as benzene or thinner which will damage the unit.
INSTALLATION AND CONNECTIONS
Check if your PL-speaker is already prepared for use with the new APL-amplifier modules. The serial
number should be:
PL12: serial number bigger than “09041681”
PL15: serial number bigger than “09021441”
If you have an older cabinet, installation is quite complicated and should only be considered if you are a well
skilled person for the job. The installation inside older cabinets is not explained!
If your PL-speaker cabinet is prepared for easy installation of the APL-modules than please proceed with
the installation as described below:
A. Unplug the passive PL-cabinet from the
amplifier and unscrew the 8 screws that
keep the metal connector plate in place.
B. Keep the screws for later and remove the
connector plate: on the back you will notice
a special connector.
C. To disconnect the special connector, press
the connector lock and separate the two
connectors. Remove the original connector
plate and put the APL-amplifier module in
place.
D. The amplifier module uses the same
connector as the original connector plate:

press the lock and join the 2 connector parts
together.
E. Make sure the lock function is on: you
should hear a “click”. Double-check if the
connectors are well joined! If not, bad
connections could occur due to vibrations.
F. Put the amplifier module in place and use
the original screws to fasten the module.
FUNCTIONS
1. MICROPHONE LEVEL: Used to set the
input level of the microphone input (5).
2. LINE LEVEL: Used to set the input level of
the line input (6)
3. TONE CONTROLS: Used to adjust the
treble and bass of the master signal.
4. MASTER LEVEL: Used to set the overall
volume of the amplifier. Always set the
master level to zero when you switch the
cabinet on, after this turn up the volume to
the desired level.
5. MICROPHONE INPUT: This input accepts
both balanced and unbalanced microphones.
You can use both ¼”jack and male 3pin-XLR
connectors.
Attention: To prevent damage to the
tweeters of your speaker cabinet, please set
the micro input level (1) to zero before you
connect the microphone. Once connected
you can turn the level up to the desired level.
6. LINE INPUT/OUTPUT: This input accepts
both balanced and unbalanced line level
signals. The output makes it possible to
connect several speaker cabinets to the
same line output of a mixer.
7. SPEAKER OUTPUT: you can connect a
second “passive” speaker cabinet to this
Speakon output. Connections are +1 and -1.
Attention: This output only supports 8Ω
loads!!! Never connect a 4Ω speaker or more
than one 8Ω speaker cabinet to this output!
This can damage the amplifier module.
8. POWER SWITCH: Used to switch the internal amplifier on/off. The LED will turn on when the cabinet is
switched on.
9. MAINS INPUT: Mains input with IEC socket and integrated fuse holder, connect the supplied mains
cable here.
