Both amplifiers on each PVXp speaker feature DSP-based signal compression and driver EQ, level matching, bass boost,
and subsonic filtering as well as presets.
Peavey’s proprietary horn designs are used. The RX 10 compression driver tweeter is coupled with a Quadratic Throat™ constant directivity waveguide (100 by 60 degree coverage for PVXp 10 and 100 by 50 degrees for PVXp 12 and PVXp 15). This original Peavey design reportedly offers smooth, even response, low distortion, and good high-frequency dispersion. At the same time, Peavey’s asymmetrical horn allows the audio to be aimed at the audience (up 15 and down 35 degrees on the 12” and 15”; up 20 down 40 for the 10”).
Input for two of the three channels is via a combo female XLR and quarter-inch TRS phone jack with balanced input to the preamp/EQ electronics and level control. A third channel is for a Bluetooth source (with TWS functionality, i.e. one box can receive the right channel and another the left channel, within the 10m-50ft range) or alternatively a 1/8-inch AUX input jack. PVXp speakers combine Bluetooth technology to allow both remote control via iOS app and Bluetooth audio streaming in, making it possible to control playback and adjust volume and EQ from an iOS device. A balanced output, a male XLR, can feed the mixed signals from the three channels out to another component, allowing for linking of additional speaker systems or a feed off the signal to a powered subwoofer.
On the outside, the PVXp Bluetooth speakers have full-coverage perforated steel grilles with powder coat finish. Additionally, the trapezoidal cabinet has two handles for portability and an extra 45-degree angled section on the right side to allow for use as a floor monitor.
A pole mount is molded in for standard 1 3/8-inch diameter poles, while 13 mounting fly points provide versatility for permanent install use. Peavey’s Versamount 70 brackets can be used to fly the speakers in both horizontal and vertical configurations. Models weigh in at 12, 19 and 23 kg (27, 42, and 50 pounds) respectively.
