DESCRIPTION

The SP1G is a step up to a higher performance loudspeaker system within the SP line of enclosures. It is a two-way loudspeaker consisting of a 15" Black Widow® woofer and a 44XTcompression driver loaded with a CH® 7 constant directivity horn.

This unit can be driven in fullrange or bi-amp mode simply by plugging into the desired jack on the input plate. The trapezoidal design of the enclosure allows arrays to be constructed much more easily than when using a rectangular shaped box. This shape also greatly reduces the buildup of standing waves on the inside of the enclosure. This ensures a minimum of mid-bass and midrange coloration of the reproduced sound due to the cabinet. The SP1G is constructed of 3/4" plywood and covered with Peavey’s durable black carpet. Polymer corners are also a part of the unit to provide added protection to the enclosure. A powder-coated expanded metal grille covers the lower part of the front of the enclosure to protect the low-frequency driver from unforeseen accidents.

Sound Guard 44XT, a version of Peavey’s proprietary highfrequency driver protection circuit designed especially for the 44XT, has been included as an integral part of the crossover for the

SP1G. The input signal is routed through the Sound Guard 44XTcircuit in both full-range and bi-amp modes of operation. When the highfrequency drive level to the SP1G exceeds a predetermined threshold, the Sound Guard 44XTcircuit is engaged. This is achieved at approximately 90% full-rated power with most program material. The effect that this has is to

decrease the signal level going

to the 44XTby about 6 dB so that it will not be damaged due to long term (thermal) overpowering. Short duration transients will not be attenuated by Sound Guard 44XTand have the possibility to damage the 44XT.
