Ultra-high performance from a weather-resistant, two-way (full-range or bi-ampable) speaker system that will provide up to 133 dB SPL. This system provides high power handling capability while maintaining a smooth, yet clear response. The elegant and durable trapezoidal enclosure is made of high-impact polypropylene with a metal grille. This system is comprised of a 15 inch Black Widow?? woofer with a Kevlar?? impregnated cone (with a specially treated surround) and a RX??? 22 two inch titanium compression driver coupled to a constant directivity horn with Sound Guard??? high frequency driver protection. Connections are made via two parallel 1/4 inch phone jacks for daisy-chaining and a switchable 4-pin Neutrik?? Speakon?? connector. This system can be used on the floor, speaker stand or be flown via top and bottom flying points.

Sound Quality

Sound is high quality: strong, clear and punchy. Open, not boxy. Best single 15 injection-molded 2-way I have heard. The Impulse 1015 is essentially the same as Peavey's 91 lb. wood cabinet SP2. (All things being equal, a wooden cabinet will always sound better if you have the back for it. The SP2 would get the 10 rating.)

Overall Rating
:
10
High power handling can handle bass drums and bass guitars. Can do small outside venues and handle rooms of 250 people. Very durable. Highly recommended for club musicians who want big sound without the back-breaking weight. I would replace these in a heartbeat. I use Peavey's inexpensive customer covers to limit road rash. I plan to get a Peavey PV1600 to bi-amp. Peavey speakers rock!
