Peavey Electronics has announced the RBN 112 speaker and RBN 215 powered subwoofer.
The 1.5kW RBN 112 speaker enclosure uses a proprietary 120mm true ribbon high-frequency driver with waveguide, and with 12-inch dual-voice coil neodymium Scorpion driver, with Peavey’s field replaceable basket technology. Features include programme EQ presets, side and top handles, multiple side and top fly points, and an ultra-braced molded enclosure.
Incorporating digital signal processing, the RBN series enclosures features two XLR/jack combination inputs, a 3.5mm input, and a mic/line level selection. Each input features digital infrasonic high-pass filters, a nine-band graphic EQ, and delay. Each output features a sophisticated compressor/limiter and fourth order high-pass/low-pass filters for crossover function and external subwoofer incorporation. The series comes equipped with bass enhancement and auto-off power down.
The RBN 215 powered subwoofer maintains full output down to 36Hz with 2kW peak power, and is constructed of heavily braced 18mm birch plywood. Features include dual 15-inch woofers, assignable crossover, heavy-duty locking casters, braced cabinet assembly, ground lift, pole mount, and a heavy-duty steel perforated grille.
‘Reliability is key when selecting a powered enclosure,’ says Peavey COO. Courtland Gray. ‘RBN enclosures feature an internal temperature monitor combined with a variable speed cooling fan, plus level and clip indication to ensure optimal performance. The set-up wizard makes the speaker system completely user-friendly with internal presets built into the DSP, allowing users to quickly select the speaker’s application or orientation via the LCD on the rear of the enclosure next to the power amp vu meter.’
US retail prices have been set at US$1,499.99 for the RBN 112, and US$1,999.99 for the RBN 215.
