ARCHITECTURAL AND ENGINEERING SPECIFICATIONS

The powered loudspeaker system shall have a frequency response from 60 Hz to 20 kHz. The peak SPL with inaudible distortion shall reach 131 dB with music as a source, when measured at a distance of 1M and driven to full output capacity. The system shall utilize a Peavey® 12” Neodymium Dual Voice Coil Scorpion® woofer and a Peavey RD2.6 true ribbon driver tweeter. The nominal radiation pattern shall be 100˚ in the horizontal plane, and 15˚ in the vertical plane.

The powered, bi-amplified loudspeaker system shall have two input channels capable of being mixed together with independent level controls. On the rear panel, it shall have a group of medium impedance input connectors. For one channel, these connectors will consist of a Euro-style jack connector and a combo female XLR and 1/4" TRS phone jack. For the other channel, the connectors will consist of two RCA phono jacks and a combo female XLR and 1/4" TRS phone jack.

The combo female XLR and 1/4” TRS phone jack of each channel will have a gain adjust pad that provides 30 dB of gain adjust and provides for switching between line-level input signals and mic-level input signals.

The input section shall have a push button activated EQ system that provides for various combinations of nominally flat frequency response, response filtered at the frequency extremes, response with dynamic boost of just the high frequencies, and response with dynamic boost at the low and high frequencies (Fletcher-Munson style compensation).

There shall be a group of line out connectors consisting of a male XLR jack, a 1/4” TRS phone jack, and a Euro-style jack connector.

The system power amplifiers shall have an unfiltered frequency response of 10 Hz to 20 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 550 W continuous into a 4 ohm nominal load, and the tweeter amplifier shall be capable of 75 W continuous output into a 8 ohm load. Both shall incorporate independent DDTcompression.

The input signal shall be electronically divided into high frequencies and low frequencies by a staggered pole fourth 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 response-shaping.

The enclosure shall be constructed of injection-molded polypropylene with a UL flame rating, and reinforcing ribs internally. A hand grip shall be incorporated on each side near the woofer and towards the front, as well as on the right side of the cabinet.

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 a group of four mounting point inserts each on the top, bottom, and right side, for flying use.

The outside dimensions shall be: 25.00” (63.5 cm) tall x 15.88” (40.3 cm) wide x 15.25” (38.7 cm) deep, and the

weight shall be 39 lbs. Power requirements shall be: 700 Watts nominal, 100-120 VAC, 50/60 Hz Domestic and 220-240 VAC, 50/60 Hz (Export). The loudspeaker system shall be called a Peavey Impulse® 12D.

12 D specifications

The Peavey 12 D is a versatile and powerful loudspeaker designed to meet the demands of live sound reinforcement and various audio applications. Known for its high performance and reliability, the 12 D is aimed at musicians, DJs, and sound engineers who require quality sound and durability in a portable package.

One of the key features of the Peavey 12 D is its impressive power handling capability. The loudspeaker can handle up to 300 watts of continuous power and peaks at 1200 watts, making it suitable for medium to large venues. This robust power handling allows the speaker to reproduce audio with clarity and impact, ensuring that every note and vocal cut through the mix.

The 12 D employs a 12-inch heavy-duty woofer that provides deep, resonant bass response, ideal for a range of music genres. This is complemented by a high-frequency driver that delivers crystal-clear treble frequencies, allowing for a balanced sound profile. The combination of these components results in a full-range sound that is both vibrant and articulate.

Incorporating advanced technologies, the Peavey 12 D features a constant directivity horn that offers controlled dispersion of sound. This ensures consistent coverage across the audience area, minimizing dead spots and providing an even listening experience. Additionally, the speaker is equipped with Peavey's proprietary EQ settings, allowing users to tailor the sound output to their specific environment or preferences.

Portability and ease of use are also central to the design of the Peavey 12 D. Weighing in at a manageable size and featuring durable enclosures, the speaker is easy to transport and set up. Integrated handles make it convenient for mobile applications, and its rugged construction ensures it can withstand the rigors of touring.

For connectivity, the Peavey 12 D offers versatile input options, allowing for seamless integration into existing sound systems. With all these characteristics combined, the Peavey 12 D stands out as a reliable and powerful choice for anyone looking to elevate their sound experience, whether on stage or at an event. Its combination of performance, technology, and user-friendly features makes it an excellent option for both professionals and enthusiasts alike.
