Peavey ILS 1294 H, Specification Sheet, Page: 4 / 12

Frequency Response
This measurement is useful in
determining how accurately a given
unit reproduces an input signal. The
frequency response of the ILS 1294H
is measured at a distance of 1-meter
using a 1 Watt (into the nominal
impedance) swept-sine input signal.
As shown in figure 1, the selected
drivers in the ILS
™
1294H combine to
give a smooth frequency response
from 63 Hz - 18.5 kHz.
Directivity
Beamwidth is derived from the
-6 dB points from the polar plots (see
figure 3) which are measured in a
whole space anechoic environment.
Q and Directivity Index are plotted for
the on-axis measurement position.
These are specifications that provide
a reference to the coverage
characteristics of the unit. These
parameters provide insight for proper
placement and installation in the
chosen environment. The blending of
the components of the ILS 1294H
exhibit a desirable beamwidth and
directivity (figure 3 and 4) suitable for
sound reinforcement applications.
Power Handling
There are many different
approaches to power handling ratings.
Peavey rates this loudspeaker
system’s power handling using a full-
range form of the AES Standard 2-
1984. Using audio band 20 Hz to
20 kHz pink noise with peaks of 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. This
rating is contingent upon having a
minimum of 3 dB of amplifier
headroom available.
Harmonic Distortion
Second and third harmonic
distortions vs. frequency are plotted in
figures 5 and 6 for two power levels,
ten percent (10%) of rated input
power and either one percent (1%) of
rated input power or one watt,
whichever is greater. 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 ILS 1294H.
However, the combined weight of
additional enclosures and all cables,
clamps and other hardware must not
exceed 320 pounds. The ILS 1294H
weighs 80 pounds and the maximum
combined weight suspended from the
uppermost mounting bracket
assemblies must not exceed 400
pounds. Maximum enclosure angle is
45°. Use only the correct mating
hardware. All associated rigging is the
responsibility of others.
