bi-ampable two-way enclosure designed
specifically for permanent installation. The
cabinet is constructed of 3/4" Poplar-faced
high-density plywood, or 18 mm, 13-ply all
Birch void-free plywood. The internal flying
points are reinforced with 10 gauge steel
bracing. The decorative and internal
protective grilles are permanently attached to
the enclosure.
The two-way system is comprised of a
heavy-duty 12" woofer, and a 22XT compression driver loaded into a CH 3 constantdirectivity horn. The frequency spectrum can
either be divided internally through the
enclosure’s passive crossover operating at
about 800 Hertz, or through an external
active or passive crossover. In either case,
the input lead connection is made secure
through the use of screw terminal barrier
strips for bi-amp operation.
™
1282 is a full range or
FREQUENCY RESPONSE
This measurement is useful in determining
how accurately a given enclosure reproduces
an input signal. The frequency response of
the Impulse 1282 is measured at 1 meter
using a 2.83 volt swept sine input. As shown
in Figure 1, the selected drivers in the
Impulse 1282 combine to give a smooth
frequency response from 60 Hz to 18 kHz.
DIRECTIVITY
Beamwidth and directivity factors are
derived from the -6 dB points from the polar
plots, which are measured in a whole-space
anechoic environment. These are specifications that provide a reference to the coverage
characterisitics of the enclosure. These
parameters provide insight for proper
enclosure placement and installation in the
chosen environment. The Impulse 1282
exhibits a desirable beamwidth and directivity
factor suitable for all high-level sound
reinforcement applications.
POWER HANDLING
There are many different approaches to
power handling ratings. Peavey rates this
speaker system’s power handling using a
modified form of the AES Standard 2-1984.
Utilizing audio band (20 Hz to 20 kHz) pink
noise with peaks over 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.
The test signal contains large amounts of
very low-frequency energy, effectively
simulating the frequency content of live
music situations. The full measure of high
frequencies in the test signal allow for
exposure of the speaker system to synthesize tones that may extend beyond audibility.
This rating is contingent on having a
minimum 3 dB of amplifier headroom
available.
HARMONIC DISTORTION
Second and third harmonic distortion vs.
frequency are plotted in Figures 5 and 6 for
two power levels. One tenth rated input
power and one hundredth rated input power.
Distortion is read from the graph as the
difference between the fundamental signal
(frequency response) and the desired
harmonic. As an example, a distortion curve
that is down 40 dB from the fundamental is
equivalent to 1% distortion.
MOUNTING:
CAUTION: Before attempting to suspend
this speaker, consult a certified structural
engineer. Speaker can fall from improper
suspension, resulting in serious injury and
property damage. Other enclosures may be
suspended below one Impulse 1282.
However, the combined weight of additional
enclosures and all cables, clamps, and other
hardware must not exceed 147 lbs. The
Impulse 1282 weighs 54 pounds and the
maximum combined weight suspended from
the uppermost mounting bracket assemblies
must not exceed 200 pounds. Maximum
enclosure angle is 45°. Use only 1/2" forged
shoulder machinery eyebolt, mil spec.
