DESCRIPTION
The Peavey Impulse® 100P is a powered bi-amplified two-way speaker system engineered to provide the highest levels of performance in a compact powered loudspeaker. Capable of over 120 dB peak SPLs, this system can pump out a huge amount of sound. The enclosure utilizes high-impact polypropylene in an injection-molded plastic trapezoidal form, with a coated perforated metal grille to offer a cosmetically elegant yet durable, powered speaker system.
This two-way powered system is comprised of a 200 W dynamic peak power amplifier driving a 10" heavy-duty long-throw woofer with treated cone and dust cap. The 14XT™ compression driver is driven by a 70 W peak dynamic power amplifier, and features a 1.4" titanium diaphragm, and is coupled to an extremely smooth and well controlled constant directivity horn, with a coverage pattern of 90˚ by 45˚, that is molded integrally into the enclosure.
Balanced inputs provided to the preamp/EQ electronics are one combo female XLR, and 1/4" RTS phone jack, and one male XLR, all connected in parallel. The power amplifiers providing the bi-amplification are low-distortion units providing 150 W RMS into the nominal 8 Ohm load of the woofer, and a 50 W RMS into the nominal 8 ohm load of the tweeter. They were selected for their reliability and superb musical performance capability. Both amplifiers feature our patented DDT™ compression which virtually eliminates audible power amplifier clipping.
Molded-in handle provides ease of transport, while multiple mounting points (top and bottom) for the Peavey Versamount™ provide for maximum utility.
Architectural and Engineering Specifications
The powered loudspeaker system shall have a frequency response from 80 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 1 m and driven to full output capacity. The system shall utilize a 10" heavy-duty, long throw woofer and a 14XT™ compression driver tweeter. The nominal radiation pattern shall be 90˚ in the horizontal plane, and 45˚ in the vertical plane.
The powered biamplified loudspeaker system shall have a group of medium impedance input connectors consisting of one combo female XLR and 1/4" RTS phone jack and one male XLR on the rear panel, all connected in parallel. A Loop Out and a Loop In jack shall be provided. A volume control will be located next to the input jack group.
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 3rd 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.
