Cleaning
Never clean the Impulse 1015P while plugged in or turned on! When the unit has been fully disconnected from AC power sources, a dry cloth can remove soil or other dirt. Never use strong solvents on the Impulse 1015P, as they could damage the cabinet. Do not allow ANY fluids to drip inside the Impulse 1015P!
Touch-up
If the Impulse 1015P cabinet becomes scratched or abraded, it can be touched-up using a black permanent marker. First, if the area to be touched-up is larger than a short scratch, rub it lightly with an unsoaped plastic scrub pad. Wipe the scratched or abraded area a little at a time with the black permanent marker and wipe away the surplus with a lint-free cloth. For an overall finish enhancement and protective coating, use gloves to apply either WD-40®or Armour-All®protectant to the surface of the plastic cabinet only. Rub the cabinet vigorously with a dry, lint-free cloth to minimize slippage.
If the grille should become discolored or show signs of a white coating, you can use a cleaner such as 409® or Fantastic® to clean this off of the grille. Use a clean cloth slightly dampened with the cleaner and rub it across the front surface of the grille.
Check for Secure Hardware
After the first few months of use and periodically thereafter, check the hardware of the Impulse 1015P 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, which could cause them to with use.
DESCRIPTION
The Peavey Impulse 1015P is a powered, bi-amplified, two-way speaker system engineered to provide the highest levels of performance possible in a compact powered loudspeaker. Capable of over 130 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 an 800 Watt dynamic peak power amplifier driving a 15" BWX Black Widow® woofer (1508-4 SPS) a Kevlar™ impregnated cone, surround and dust cap specially treated for excellent weather-resistance. The RX™22 compression driver is driven by a 200 Watt peak dynamic power amplifier, and features a 2" titanium diaphragm covered by US Patent #6064745 for the Radialinear Planar Phase Correction System used in the phase plug. It is coupled to an extremely smooth and well-controlled constant directivity horn with a coverage pattern of 90˚ by 45˚ molded integrally into the enclosure.
Balanced inputs provided to the preamp/EQ electronics are one combo female XLR and 1/4" TRS phone jack, plus one male XLR, connected in parallel. A separate switchable microphone input (female XLR) is provided. The power amplifiers providing the bi-amplification are low distortion units providing 400 Watt RMS into the nominal 4 Ohm load of the woofer, and a 100 W RMS into the nominal 6 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.
Multiple molded-in handles provide easy transport, while multiple mounting points (top and bottom) for the Peavey Versamount™ 70 and a molded-in stand adapter provide maximum utility.
