DESCRIPTION

The Peavey PR 15D is a powered, bi-amplified, two-way speaker system engineered to provide very high levels of performance in a compact powered loudspeaker. The PR 15D is capable of up to 120 dB peak SPL. The enclosure utilizes tough polypropylene in an injection-molded plastic trapezoidal form, with a coated steel grille to offer an attractive yet-durable powered speaker system.

This two-way powered system is comprised of a 150 W class D power amplifier driving a 15″ heavy duty woofer. The RX™14 compression driver is driven by a 50 W class D power amplifier and features a 1.4” titanium diaphragm coupled to an extremely smooth and well-controlled constant directivity horn (with a coverage pattern of 90˚ by 40˚) that is molded integrally into the enclosure.

A balanced input to the preamp/EQ electronics consists of one combo female XLR and 1/4” TRS phone jack. It is switchable between mic-level and line-level sensitivity. Two 1/4” phone jacks are provided for link-out / direct-in capability. The link-out is post- level and pre-crossover. While the direct-in is a direct pre-crossover input.

A woofer servo senses back-EMF from the woofer voice coil that is not a result of the drive signal, and subtracts the error so that the woofer cone follows the drive waveform precisely.

Constant Loudness (Fletcher-Munson) circuit for accentuating bass and treble at low listening volume levels.

The power amplifiers providing the bi-amplification are low-distortion units providing 150 W continuous RMS into the nominal 8 ohm load of the woofer, and a 50 W continuous RMS into the nominal 8 ohm load of the tweeter. They were selected for their reliability and superb musical performance capability. Both amplifiers feature DDT™ compression, which virtually eliminates audible power amplifier clipping.

A molded-in handle provides ease of transport, while multiple mounting points (top and bottom) for the Peavey Versamount™ allow maximum utility

APPLICATIONS

The Peavey PR®15D has a variety of applications such as sound reinforcement, public address, side fill system, karaoke or musical playback. With the optional monitor stand kit, the Peavey PR 15D makes an excellent stage monitor. A typical signal source for the line-level inputs of the Peavey PR 15D would be a sound reinforcement mixing console (mixer) or the output from a CD player, iPod player or tape deck. A dynamic microphone can be connected and used as well.
