Dark Matter Loudspeakers Now Available From Peavey

New powered line of full-range models with DSP-based EQ and subwoofers with Kosmos processing.

Peavey Electronics announces the release of its new Dark Matter loudspeakers.

These 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.

The Dark Matter series enclosures are built with steel grilles and injection molded cabinets, designed for use as floor monitors or pole-mounted speakers.

The Dark Matter LCD display and associated selector knob allow users to choose various parameters of operation for the DSP-based EQ. This includes bass and treble control access, as well as multiple EQ presets for various applications or speaker positions/locations. These presets provide users with a flexible method of configuring and optimizing the powered speaker system for a specific use with minimal time and effort.

Fan cooled for reliability, the DM 112 and DM 115 feature 110 by 80 degree coverage by Peavey’s exclusive Quadratic Throat Waveguide technology.

Also featured is a two-way bi-amplified powered speaker system, 12-inch heavy-duty woofer, an XLR/1/4-inch 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-inch diameter poles.

The DM 118 and DM 115 Subwoofers provide low end with another Peavey exclusive, KOSMOS, for bass impact, and forced air-cooled power amps with a vented bass powered subwoofer enclosure for reliability. The speakers are equipped with an XLR/1/4-inch combo jack input, two high-pass XLR outputs and one full range thru XLR output.

Also included is an internal line level low-pass/high-pass crossover network and a phase switch for phase reversal of the 15-inch subwoofer. The speakers feature a full-coverage perforated steel grille, steel handles, ground lift for lifting cable shield from ground, and a threaded pole mount with speaker pole included.
