Peavey releases Dark Matter speaker enclosures

Peavey’s Dark Matter series high-S.P.L. (Sound Pressure Level) enclosures feature modern styling and come in four available models: the DM 112, DM 115, DM 118 Subwoofer and DM 115 Subwoofer.

All these models are said to be built tough with steel grilles and rugged injection molded cabinets. Their design allows for use as floor monitors or pole-mounted speakers. Useable for DJs, bands and other musical applications, the Dark Matter enclosures are announced as producing crystal-clear, professional audio quality. The Dark Matter LCD display and associated selector knob allow users to choose various parameters of operation for the DSP-based EQ, including bass and treble control access, as well as multiple EQ presets for various applications or speaker positions/locations. These presets are announced as providing users with a highly flexible method of configuring and optimizing the powered speaker system for a specific use with minimal time and effort.

Fan cooled for enhanced reliability, the DM 112 and DM 115 feature 110 by 80 degree coverage by Peavey’s exclusive Quadratic Throat Waveguide technology, aimed at delivering pristine, precise sound. Also featured is a two-way bi-amplified powered speaker system, 12” heavy-duty woofer, an XLR/1/4” TRS input and XLR output, DX 14-compression driver with 1.4-inch titanium diaphragm. A Mic/Line switch provides for two different gain settings. The cabinet has a rugged plastic injection-molded trapezoidal enclosure, rear corner angled sides for floor monitor use, full-coverage perforated steel grilles with powder coat finish, and a pole mount molded-in for 1 3/8” diameter poles.
