Description
The Peavey PV
®
115D is a powered, two-way, sound reinforcement speaker system engineered to provide very
high levels of performance in a compact powered loudspeaker. The PV
®
115D is capable of generating peak SPL
up to 121 dB. The lightweight yet rugged carpet covered enclosure with stand mount cup facilitates portable
use for live music or PA sound. The trapezoidal cabinet has steel handles on either side for ease of portability,
and four rubber feet for floor use, while a stand-mount adaptor on the bottom allows for easy speaker stand
mounting. Black steel corners provide road protection to the cabinet. A black full-length powder-coated
perforated steel grille provides driver protection and a professional appearance.
The PV
®
115D speaker system includes an internal power amp to drive its own speakers, as well as an amplifier
output jack to drive another (passive) loudspeaker system. It supplies up to 400 watts peak available power
to the internal speakers, and up to 400 watts peak available power to an external 8 ohm speaker system,
for a total of 800 watts peak available power. The amplifier is equipped with DDT
compression, providing
protection from excessive amplifier clipping and the consequent distortion. A balanced input to the preamp/EQ
electronics consists of one combo female XLR and 1/4” TRS phone jack. A Contour switch provides some bass
and treble lift when used as a background music source, etc. A Link Out 1/4” phone jack provides a pre-level
send for linking multiple units together, to be controlled by a single volume control at a master unit.
Applications
Aside from its primary use as a sound reinforcement system, the Peavey PV
®
115D has a variety of applications
such as public address, side fill system, karaoke or musical playback. A typical signal source for the line-level
inputs of the Peavey PV
®
115D would be a sound reinforcement mixing console (mixer) or the output from a CD
player, MP3 player or tape deck.
