The Peavey SP 4P is a powered, bi-amplified, two-way speaker system engineered to provide very high levels of performance in a compact powered loudspeaker. This quasi-three-way powered system is comprised of a 1000W peak switching power amplifier driving a pair of 15" Black Widow BWX series woofers, now with a long throw voice coil. The 2" RX22CT titanium diaphragm compression driver is driven by a 500W peak switching power amplifier and is coupled to a low coloration waveguide with a coverage pattern of 100 deg. horizontal by 50 deg. vertical.
The SP 4P is capable of up to 131 dB peak SPL. The enclosure is constructed of plywood augmented with internal braces, covered with a textured black painted finish. The shape is a trapezoidal form, with a full-length coated perforated steel grille, to offer an attractive yet durable powered speaker system. A pair of four-way inset handles, one on each side and a set of casters on the bottom rear edge and a top rear handle provide convenient transport and handling. Multiple fly points are provided to allow overhead rigging. The cabinet and grille are black.
Two independent mixed input channels each offer a balanced input to the preamp/EQ electronics and a level control. Each channel has one combo female XLR and 1/4" TRS phone jack. It is switchable between mic-level and line-level sensitivity. Channel 2 has a 3.5 mm media jack added. A line out section has male XLR connectors. The Thru outputs allow linking of additional speaker systems or feed of the signal to a powered subwoofer, etc.
The power amplifiers providing the bi-amplification are low-distortion switching units providing 1000W peak available power into the nominal 4Ohms load of the woofer and a 500W peak available power into the nominal 8Ohms load of the tweeter. The power supply for both amps is a switch mode type for low weight and high efficiency. Both amplifiers feature our DDT compression, which virtually eliminates audible power amplifier clipping. Cooling is via forced air circulation.
The combination of the Black Widow BWX woofer with the RX22CT tweeter and DSP crossover and EQ provide a clarity and impact beyond conventional powered enclosures. The switching power amps and switch-mode power supply, along with the professional grade speaker components, provide this high level of technological sophistication at a very light weight, while at a very reasonable cost.
