Peavey PVX Series "PVXp-10DSP" Powered 510W, Bi-Amped, 10" Loudspeaker

The PVXp10DSP provides a balanced input via a combination jack that accepts a balanced TRS 1/4” input, as well as a balanced XLR input and summed RCA jacks. There are two balanced Thru outputs, a male XLR and a 1/4” TRS. The LCD display and EQ presets, along with other operating parameters are accessed via a one-knob selector.

The PVXp10DSP is a two-way sound reinforcement system based on a heavy-duty Pro 10" woofer and a RX10N dynamic compression driver mounted on a 100 by 60 degree coverage Quadratic Throat Waveguide™. Its sleek, modern appearance, coupled with excellent performance, offer an outstanding package. The lightweight-yet-rugged injection-molded plastic enclosure with molded-in stand mount cup facilitates portable use for live music or P.A. sound. The trapezoidal cabinet has three handles for ease of portability, and an extra 45-degree angled section on the right side to allow use as a floor monitor. Four sets of flying/mounting points, two on the top, two on the bottom, and one single insert on the rear near the bottom, with a total of 13 cabinet inserts, provide for the ultimate in installation flexibility. A black, powder-coated, perforated steel grille provides driver protection and a professional appearance.

The heavy-duty 10” woofer provides a good strong low end for such a compact enclosure. The RX 10N compression driver tweeter is coupled to a constant directivity horn with smoothe, even response, low distortion and good high frequency dispersion. This horn has an asymmetrical vertical polar response, aiming the main energy lobe down 10 degrees, so it is directed at the audience instead of over their heads. The vertical polar pattern is +20 degrees, -40 degrees. This helps reduce ceiling reflections for greater clarity and gain before feedback.

The PVXp™ 10 DSP speaker system power amplifiers providing the bi-amplification are low-distortion ultra-reliable fan-cooled units providing a total of 510 peak available dynamic power for the system. 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. There is 380W peak available dynamic power for the woofer, and 130W peak available dynamic power for the tweeter. Cooling is provided via a low-noise fan, for reliable operation under any conditions.

Advanced Digital Signal Processing (A.D.S.P.) provides the crossover function, driver limiting, as well as the driver EQ to enable the speaker system to provide an accurate and neutral sound for any type of music. The DSP processing uses 64 bit double-precision to ensure accurate and transparent sound processing, and the input/output sections use a 48 kHz sampling rate at 24 bits for maximum fidelity. Low-jitter clocking and professional grade components insure the sound quality is superb.

An extremely flexible system of EQ presets and adjustments is implemented in the speaker system’s DSP computing core, and accessible via the rotary push-to-select knob and the LCD display.

Input is via a combo female XLR and 1/4” TRS phone jack with balanced input to the DSP preamp/EQ electronics, and a Level control. A Mic/Line switch allows for use of a microphone via the extra gain available when in the “Mic” position.

The included thru output consists of a male XLR jack and paralleled 1/4” jack. This output allows linking of additional speaker systems, or feed the signal to a powered subwoofer, etc.
