Peavey 6X specifications Frequency Response, Mounting Architectural and Engineering Specifications

The two-way system is comprised of a 12" Sheffield® woofer with a highly linear suspension. The high frequencies are handled by an RX™22 two-inch titanium diaphragm compression driver utilizing ferrofluid cooling, coupled to a CH®3 constant directivity horn. This horn has a smooth, even response with good high frequency dispersion. The RX 22 driver features the Radialinear Planar Phase Correction System, under US Patent 6,064,745, which provides smoother and extended high frequency response.

Power Handling:

There are many different approaches to power handling ratings. Peavey rates this loudspeaker system’s power handling using a full-range form of the AES Standard 2-1984. Using audio band 20 Hz to 20 kHz pink noise with peaks of four times the RMS level, this strenuous test signal assures the user that every portion of this system can withstand today’s high technology music. This rating is contingent upon having a minimum of 3 dB of amplifier headroom available.

high by 18.94 inches wide by 18.31 inches deep. The weight shall be 67 pounds. The loudspeaker system shall be a Peavey model SP 6X.

Input connection to the system is

made via two 1/4" phone jacks in parallel. The internal passive crossover features Sound Guard™ III tweeter protection circuit, an advanced topology crossover with high performance components, to provide high power handling and reliability. Peavey’s proprietary high-frequency driver protection circuitry, Sound Guard, provides long and medium term driver overload protection when the system is used full- range, without impairing musical transients or dynamics. The crossover provides driver roll-off and protection, as well as driver EQ for the woofer and horn, the sum total is a clean, clear and smooth response. High-quality, reliable crossover components include polypropylene capacitors, and high current inductors. The optimal integration of the crossover with the selected drivers results in a smooth frequency response from 70 Hz to 17 kHz.

Despite its compact dimensions for a 12" based enclosure, this system can put out some very serious sound levels, and take 500 Watts program of clean amplifier power, resulting in clean coverage with excellent clarity.

If the bulb in your Sound Guard should ever burn out, a replacement may be obtained from an Authorized Peavey Service Center. However, if a Peavey replacement bulb is not readily available, an automotive type SK 3 clip in bulb may be substituted for temporary use until a Peavey bulb can be obtained.

Frequency Response:

This measurement is useful in determining how accurately a given unit reproduces an input signal. The frequency response of the SP™ 6X is measured at a distance of 1-meter using a 1 Watt (into the nominal impedance) swept-sine input signal. As shown in figure 1, the selected drivers in the SP 6X combine to give a smooth frequency response from 70 Hz - 17 kHz.

Caution: This unit is not designed for overhead supesion.
