Description
The new SP 5 features the Peavey Quadratic Throat Waveguide™ and an enclosure made from Baltic birch plywood. The SP5 is a twoway speaker system comprised of a high output 15” Scorpion® Plus HO woofer with a Kevlar®-impregnated cone and an Rx™22 compression driver loaded onto the patented constant directivity waveguide.
The SP5 has a trapezoidal-shaped enclosure, which reduces the buildup of standing waves inside the enclosure to minimize midbass and mid-range coloration. It is constructed of nine-ply Baltic birch plywood and covered with a durable black carpet. Use of the Baltic birch plywood provides an enclosure that is 25% lighter than the previous SP 5XL. The enclosure corners are reinforced with metal corners, and a powder-coated, perforated metal grille covers the lower half of the system to protect the woofer from external damage.
A built-in SA-1 stand-mount adapter accommodates speaker stand use.
The low frequencies are supplied by a 15” Scorpion Plus HO woofer with a Kevlar-impregnated cone and a highly linear suspension. The high frequencies are handled by a 2” Rx22 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 helps reduce ceiling reflections, ensuring greater clarity and gain before feedback. The Rx22 driver features the Radialinear Planar Phase Correction System (U.S. Patent #6,064,745), which provides smoother and extended high frequency response.
Input connection to the system is made via two 1/4” phone jacks and a four-pin Neutrik in parallel. The internal passive crossover
features Sound Guard™ III tweeter protection circuit and an advanced topology crossover with high performance components to provide high power handling and reliability.
Sound Guard, Peavey’s proprietary high frequency driver protection circuitry, provides longand medium-term driver overload protection without impairing musical transients or dynamics when the system is used full range. 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 69 Hz to 17 kHz.
Despite its compact dimensions, this system can produce very high sound levels and handle 800 Watts program power, resulting in clean coverage with high articulation and long-term reliability.
