Touchup, Check for Secure Hardware | Peavey PR 15P instruction

Touchup

For an overall finish enhancement and protective coating, use gloves to apply a plastic finish protector, such as Armor-All®protectant, to the surface of the plastic cabinet only. Note that the cabinet will be slippery after these treatments; rub them down vigorously with a dry, lint-free cloth to minimize this.

Check for Secure Hardware

After the first few months of use and periodically thereafter, check the hardware of the PR 15P for tightness, including the rear panel screws and the screws that hold the baffle and rear cabinet together. The unit is subject to a great deal of vibration, and this could cause them to loosen with use.

Architectural and Engineering Specifications

The powered loudspeaker system shall have a frequency response from 47 Hz to 20 kHz. The peak SPL with inaudible distortion shall reach 120 dB with music as a source, when measured at a distance of 1M and driven to full output capacity. The system shall utilize a 15" heavy duty woofer and an RX™14 compression driver tweeter. The nominal radiation pattern shall be 90˚ in the horizontal plane, and 40˚ in the vertical plane.

The powered, bi-amplified loudspeaker system shall have a group of medium impedance input connectors consisting of one combo female XLR and 1/4" TRS phone jack, and two 1/4" phone jacks, on the rear panel. A volume control will be located near each input jack. The combo female XLR and 1/4" TRS phone jack will have a gain adjust pad that provides for switching between line-level input signals, and mic-level input signals.

The system power amplifiers shall have an unfiltered frequency response of 10 Hz to 30 kHz which deviates no more than +0, -1 dB up to rated power, a damping factor greater than 100 @ 1 kHz into

8 Ohms, hum and noise better than 90 dB below rated power, and THD and IMD of less than 0.1%. The woofer amplifier shall be capable of 150 W into a 8 Ohm nominal load, and the tweeter amplifier shall be capable of 50 W output into a 8 Ohm load, and both shall incorporate independent DDT™ compression.

The input signal shall be electronically divided into high frequencies and low frequencies by a staggered- pole, third order slope line-level crossover at 2 kHz. The low frequencies shall be processed to provide bass boost, subsonic filtering and overall response shaping, and the high frequencies shall be equalized for constant directivity horn EQ- and response-shaping.

The enclosure shall be constructed of injection-molded polypropylene of 1/4" nominal thickness with a UL flame rating, and reinforcing ribs internally. A handgrip shall be molded-in on the top rear edge, and one on each side of the woofer.

A powder-coated metal grille shall be provided for woofer protection. The cabinet shall incorporate a pole mount for speaker stand use, four tall sturdy rubber feet for floor standing use, and four mounting point inserts on the top and bottom each for flying use.

The outside dimensions shall be: 28.56" tall by x 21.31" wide (11.50" in rear) by x 17.00" deep, and the

weight shall be 52 lbs. Power requirements shall be: 100 Watts nominal, 120 VAC, 60 Hz domestic and 240 VAC, 50 Hz (European). The loudspeaker system shall be called a Peavey PR 15P.

PR 15P specifications

The Peavey PR 15P is a popular powered loudspeaker designed for musicians, DJs, and sound engineers seeking a versatile and robust solution for live sound applications. With its impressive audio performance and durable construction, the PR 15P stands out as a reliable choice for both professional and amateur use.

One of the key features of the PR 15P is its 15-inch heavy-duty woofer that provides deep, punchy bass response. Coupled with a 1-inch compression driver and a high-frequency horn, the speaker delivers clear and articulate high frequencies, ensuring a balanced sound across the entire frequency range. The combination of these components allows the PR 15P to produce a powerful output of up to 1000 watts peak power, making it suitable for large venues or outdoor events.

The PR 15P is equipped with a built-in class D amplifier, which not only provides efficient power but also contributes to a lightweight design. This amplification technology allows the speaker to deliver exceptional sound quality without the bulkiness often associated with traditional amplifiers. The enclosure is constructed from durable polypropylene, ensuring the speaker can withstand the rigors of transport and frequent use.

In terms of connectivity, the PR 15P offers versatile options that include XLR and 1/4-inch inputs, allowing users to connect a variety of audio sources such as mixers, microphones, or instruments. The presence of a built-in mixer with a 3-channel configuration adds to its functionality, making it an all-in-one solution for smaller setups. Additionally, a simple adjustable EQ allows users to tailor the sound according to their specific environment or preferences.

The design of the Peavey PR 15P also features a lightweight construction and ergonomically placed handles, which facilitate easy transport and setup. The speaker can be used in multiple configurations, including as a main PA speaker, a floor monitor, or even mounted on a standard speaker stand.

Overall, the Peavey PR 15P combines powerful performance, versatility, and portability, making it an ideal choice for a wide range of sound reinforcement applications. Its robust features and technologies ensure that users can achieve professional-grade sound quality, whether in a club, at a concert, or during a corporate event. The PR 15P truly exemplifies Peavey’s commitment to delivering high-quality audio solutions for both performers and audiences alike.
