Peavey PA Floor/Stage Monitors

The Peavey PV 15M is a 15 inch floor monitor that delivers a solid sound. I was using this monitor back around 2008 a lot. I feel like this monitor sounds great for the price range that it is in. I do usually prefer JBL monitors though but most of them can really start to get expensive. The PV15M has a 90 by 40 CD Horn and a 14XT compression driver. The total weight of this monitor is not more than 40 pounds making it easy to take around and set it up. It is about 25 inches wide and only 16 inches tall. It has a 1000 watt peak power capacity, and it is very tough and rugged. Out of all of the times that I used this monitor I do not remember it not sounding good at all. Every time I used it, it sounded great and delivered without any problems. It is very easy to daisy chain these monitors together too if needed. There are ¼ inputs (parallel) on the monitor to daisy chain with and I have done this many times and it sounded great. This speaker is not for bigger venues though. That is something to take into consideration before purchasing because if you use it in a bigger space it may not be able to handle it. I have only used it in a space that was pretty big 1 time and it didn’t sound bad but I could tell that it just didn’t have enough power to really project the sound the way it needed to be heard to the audience. The frequency range is 68 Hz to 17 kHz. This monitor is built very well; it has a steel handle and a metal grille to protect the face/speakers on it. It will be able to handle some drops or any of the accidental things that can happen to the gigging musician.

You will get a great sound when using the Peavey Pro 12M Passive Monitor, it is also very easy to take around with you because it has a built on handle on the side of it so if you are using it for gigging then you will be right at home with it. It doesn’t way a lot, and its really not that big either so taking it in and out of your vehicle wont be a problem. Also, the sound on it travels pretty far for it to be such a little stage floor model. I havent heard to many floor model monitors with a sound that can sound so big out of such a small monitor. We used this floor monitor for a short period of time back in 2009 before starting to use a different one. There really was no reason why we stopped using it because it worked great and did exactly what it was suppose to do , we just always end up switching up gear often so most of our gear doesn’t stay to long. We ended up trading this in, and getting a good store trade in credit on it and purchased a newer model from Peavey. The sound is great, it’s a clear sound for when we were in our classic rock gigging stage. For the price of this and what you get there really isn’t too many other floor monitors that are for a live setting that can compete with the Pro 12m. The Peavey Pro 12M is at the top of its class and will continue to gain respect throughout the gigging musician community. I still see people using them a lot. Overall, it’s a great stage monitor and im pretty sure they have the same monitor but the 15’ version out. I would opt to get that one if we could go back in time and make the decision again.
