Peavey Redesigns SP Series Enclosures

Artist's Rendering

Peavey unviled the newly redesigned SP Series loudspeaker enclosures, featuring updated technology for better performance, lighter weight and value.

The new SP Series enclosures feature Peavey's patented Black Widow loudspeakers, rated from 1600 Watts to 2000 Watts peak power, with field-replaceable baskets for quick, easy repair. These enclosures also feature Quadratic Throat Waveguide technology for dramatically reduced horn distortion and a clearer sound according to the company. Peavey has applied this patented technology with an innovative concept of asymmetry; their new Quadratic Horns aim sound directly at the audience, not over their heads.

A new nine-ply baltic birch construction utilizing extensive internal bracing produces tighter bass response while reducing weight by an average of 25% to ease load in/load out situations. The new SP Series enclosures also include 1/4" and Neutrik Speakon full-range I/O, plus an exclusive, switchable Speakon for bi-amp (plug and play); RX22 compression drivers with ferrofluid cooling; built-in stand-mount adapters; and black carpet covering.

The new SP Series enclosures will be available in April 2004.
