At the 2010 Winter NAMM show, Peavey introduced the EU Series of Class D-powered loudspeakers, including the EU 112D and EU 115D two-way models and the EU 118D subwoofer.
The EU 112D and EU 115D powered enclosures incorporate the new Peavey Black Widow BWX-DVC Neo cone driver, engineered with dual voice coil, push-pull technology and a neodymium magnet.
A Woofer Servo circuit monitors back-EMF and controls cone motion, ensuring the cone’s movement mirrors the driving signal from the power amp and resulting in very low distortion, high power handling and rock-solid low-frequency attack.
The EU 112D and EU 115D also feature Peavey’s 2-inch RX22 titanium compression driver and patented Quadratic Throat Waveguide horn in an asymmetrical design providing 100-degree H x 50-degree V (+15, -35) coverage.
The driver is positioned in line with the horn geometry to ensure clear sound reproduction.
Utilizing Peavey’s IPR power amplifier technology, the EU 112D and EU 115D produce 1,200 total watts of efficient power with a lightweight switch-mode power supply and a high-speed class D topology that yields the highest audio resolution and efficiency available.
The EU input section features two input channels and a line output, with a mix of I/O options such as combination XLR-quarter-inch 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.
The EU 118D features a 1,000-watt Peavey IPR power section and a Low Rider 18 woofer in a highly rugged enclosure.
The EU 118D also is outfitted with a fourth order Linkwitz-Riley crossover that has eight selectable low-frequency crossover points, a crossover in/out switch, low frequency enhancement, and a high-pass output to send the signal out to an EU powered high/mid enclosure.
