The Peavey PV
®
15 PM is a powered, bi-amplified, two-way, stage monitor speaker system engineered to provide very high
levels of performance in a compact powered loudspeaker. The PV
®
15 PM is capable of generating peak SPL up to 119 dB.
The lightweight yet rugged carpet covered monitor enclosure with stand mount cup facilitates portable use for live music or
speech sound reinforcement, as well as it’s primary purpose as a stage monitor. The wedge-shaped curved-front enclosure
provides a 40
°
monitoring angle. A curved black powder coated steel grille provides driver protection and a professional
appearance.
This two-way powered monitor system is comprised of a 150 watt class D power amp driving a 15” Sheffield
®
Pro 1500+
woofer. The 14T
compression driver is driven by a 50 watt class D power amp, and features a 1.4” titanium diaphragm
coupled to a patented Peavey exclusive Quadratic Throat Waveguide
horn, with a 75
°
75
°
coverage pattern.
Both amplifiers feature our patented Peavey-exclusive DDT
compression, which virtually eliminates audible power
amplifier clipping.
A balanced input to the preamp/EQ electronics consists of one combo female XLR and 1/4" TRS phone jack. It is switchable
between mic-level and line-level sensitivity. Two 1/4" phone jacks are provided for link-out / link-in capability. The link-out is
post- level and pre-crossover, while the direct-in is a direct pre-crossover input.
A woofer servo senses back-EMF from the woofer voice coil that is not a result of the drive signal, and subtracts the error so
that the woofer cone follows the drive waveform more precisely.
Constant loudness (Fletcher-Munson) circuit is incorporated for accentuating bass and treble at low listening volume levels.
Two handles on the rear help ease transport and set-up, while a stand-mount adaptor on one end allows for easy speaker
stand mounting for side-fill or PA use.
