Thank you for purchasing the powered Peavey
®
PVXp
™
15. The PVXp
15 features an ultra-reliable, bi-amped power section
that provides a total of 800 watts of peak available power with DDT
™
compression. This powered enclosure also features a
15” heavy-duty woofer with a 2-3/8" voice coil and 50 oz. magnet, and the RX14
™
compression driver with a 1.4" titanium
diaphragm on a 100-degree horizontal x 50-degree vertical pattern asymmetrical horn. The PVXp
15 provides a balanced input
via a combination jack that accepts balanced TRS 1/4" input as well as a balanced XLR input. There are two balanced Thru
outputs, a male XLR and 1/4" TRS. There is an adjustable Level control as well as a combination LED indicator that illuminates
when power is on and when the “soft-limiting” DDT circuit is activated, and a Contour switch for boosting lows and highs.

Description
The PVXp
15 is a two-way sound reinforcement system based on a heavy-duty Pro 15” woofer and a RX14 titanium diaphragm
dynamic compression driver mounted on a 100 by 50 degree coverage Quadratic Throat Waveguide. Its sleek, modern
appearance, coupled with excellent performance, offer an outstanding package. The lightweight-yet-rugged injection-molded
plastic enclosure with molded-in stand mount cup facilitates portable use for live music or P.A. sound. The trapezoidal
cabinet has three handles for ease of portability, and an extra 45-degree angled section on the right side to allow use as a
floor monitor. Five sets of flying/mounting points, two on the top, two on the bottom, and one on the side, with a total of 16
cabinet inserts, provide for the ultimate in installation flexibility. A black, powder-coated, perforated steel grille provides driver
protection and a professional appearance.
The heavy-duty 15” woofer has a 2-3/8” voice coil diameter, and a 50 oz. magnet for 200 watts continuous worth of
chest-pounding bass. The RX14 compression driver tweeter is coupled to a Quadratic Throat constant directivity waveguide,
covered under US patent #6,059,069, with 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 directed at
the audience instead of over their heads. The vertical polar pattern is +15 degrees, -35 degrees. This helps reduce ceiling
reflections for greater clarity and gain before feedback.
The PVXp
15 speaker system power amplifiers providing the bi-amplification are low-distortion, ultra-reliable, fan-cooled units
providing a total of 800W peak available power for the system. There is 650W peak available power for the woofer, and 150W
peak available power for the tweeter. The power supply for both amps is a switchmode type for low weight and high efficiency.
Both amplifiers feature our DDT
™
compression, which virtually eliminates audible power amplifier clipping. Cooling is provided
via a low-noise fan for reliable operation under strenuous conditions.
