The new SP 2 features the Peavey Quadratic Throat Waveguide with an RX™22 compression driver loaded onto the constant directivity waveguide.
The SP 2 is a two-way speaker system comprised of the new 15" Black Widow BWX SF series woofer with a Kevlar® impregnated cone.
The SP 2 has a trapezoidal-shaped enclosure, which reduces the buildup of standing waves inside the enclosure to minimize mid-bass and mid-range coloration.
The enclosure is constructed of aspen hardwood plywood augmented with dual-layered top and bottom panels, covered with heavy duty,
textured black Hammertex™ and reinforced with high-impact plastic corners.
A full-length, wrap-around perforated steel grille protects the front of the enclosure.
An SA-1 stand-mount adapter is incorporated to accommodate a speaker stand.
The two-way system consists of the following driver components: a 15" Black Widow BWX SF series woofer with a Kevlar impregnated cone and dust cap.
The woofer is capable of over 500 Watts of continuous power handling (AES Std 2-1984).
The high frequencies are handled by a 2" RX™22 titanium diaphragm compression driver utilizing ferrofluid cooling.
This superb driver is coupled to a Quadratic Throat Constant Directivity Waveguide
(U.S. Patent 6,059,069) to provide smooth, even response, low distortion and good high frequency dispersion.
This horn has an asymmetrical vertical polar response, aiming the main energy lobe down 10 degrees so it is aimed at the audience instead of over their heads.
This reduces ceiling reflections and ensures greater clarity and gain before feedback.
The RX™22 driver features the Radialinear Planar Phase Correction System (U.S. Patent 6,064,745), which provides a smooth and extended high frequency response.
Full-range input connection to the system is made via two ¼" phone jacks and a four-pin Neutrik jack in parallel.
A four-pin Neutrik switching jack is provided for bi-amping flexibility while maintaining superior signal integrity.
The internal passive crossover features the Peavey-exclusive Sound Guard protection circuit for the tweeter
and an advanced topology crossover with high-performance components to provide high power handling and reliability.
Sound Guard provides long- and medium-term driver overload protection without impairing musical transients
or dynamics on either the mid-range or the tweeter when the system is used full range or when it is bi-amped.
The crossover provides driver roll-off and protection as well as driver EQ for the woofer and horn for 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 54 Hz to 17 kHz.
Despite its compact dimensions, this system can produce very high sound levels and handle 1000 Watts program power, resulting in high articulation and long-term reliability.
