Peavey 1505-8 KA DT 15" Black Widow Super Structure Low Frequency Pro Audio Speaker, 40Hz-2kHz, 1400W Peak Power, Single

The Black Widow/Super Structure still remains far ahead of any of its competitors due to its performance and unique design. These state-of-theart speakers' features Kevlar impregnated cones and a high efficiency magnet structure to provide outstanding sensitivity, reliability and performance. The Kevlar impregnated cone is stiffer than an equivalent weight paper cone, reducing the tendency of the cone to distort the shape of the voice coil, thus avoiding rubs and scrapes.

Superior power handling results from the increased stiffness, especially with large cone excursions. This cone also offers lower distortion than a paper cone due to a greater dampening of unwanted cone vibrations. The piston action of the Kevlar impregnated cone is extended to a higher-frequency, while the range above is better controlled, with a reduction in vibrational breakup. In Black Widow models 1203 and 1501DT, where the properties of a Kevlar impregnated cone might not be desirable, such as speakers designed for guitar use, a specially formulated paper cone (along with other peavey engineered factors) is utilized to promote that distinctive tone.

The magnet structure features a patented peavey technology: a one piece die-cast back plate/pole piece assembly. This construction eliminated an undesirable air gap" in the magnet circuit, enhancing efficiency and reliability. Another peavey original is the design of the speaker framework. In the unlikely event of the failure of a Black Widow loudspeaker, the cone/basket assembly is field replaceable with a factory assembled and tested replacement basket assembly. Instead of being forced to obtain a whole new speaker, only a new basket assembly is required.

Lightweight and relatively inexpensive, the replaceable basket assembly offers and easy solution to spares and repairs. Along with these state-of-the-art aspects, Black Widow speakers also provide the features expected in a professional application loudspeaker: a four inch edge wound aluminum ribbon voice coil wound on a space-age polyimide composite former for high efficiency and sensitivity; a die-cast aluminum alloy frame for exacting lifelong alignment of the assembly; an extra large vent in the magnet structure for superior cooling and linearity at high drive levels; and heavy-duty spring-loaded terminals adhering to industry standards for color coding. The Peavey Black Widow speaker line: the high technology performer that is unsurpassed.
