Peavey Impulse 12D Powered Loudspeaker

A Woofer Servo circuit monitors back-EMF and controls cone motion, designed to ensure the cone’s movement mirrors the driving signal from the power amp, resulting in very low distortion, high-power handling and rock-solid low-frequency attack, according to the manufacturer. The new ribbon driver—a Peavey design based on the ribbons used in the Peavey Versarray line array—provides 90° H x 30° V coverage.

Utilizing Peavey’s IPR power amplifier technology, the Impulse 12D produces 1,200 watts of power, designed with a switch-mode power supply and a class D topology. The speaker is housed in an injection-molded enclosure that includes a pole mount, three flying points and a tilt-back design to facilitate use as a personal monitor.

The Input section features two input channels and a line output, with a mix of I/O options such as combination XLR-¼" jacks, RCA and install-ready Phoenix connections. Input channels 1 and 2 also have mic/line source switches and gain controls. The Auto-Off function automatically shuts off the power when it no longer detects a signal, while the Line Out allows the user to chain multiple units or send the input signal to another source.

The DynaQ section offers advanced tone controls such as Bass Enhancer, which is an overall loudness boost; a Music/Speech switch that provides optimized EQ settings for each audio type; and Contour, specially configured for program music. A module bay allows for future expansion including Wireless I/O, Delay/Time Adjustment, Mixer Expander, Ethernet I/O and more.
