Peavey Electronics has announced the launch of the new PBK 12BT and PBK 15BT two-way powered (bi-amplified) loudspeakers designed for applications that include sound reinforcement, DJ, public address, stage monitoring, side fill, and more.
The onboard DSP uses 56-bit processing with a 48 kHz sampling rate at 24 bits for the input/output sections to help maximize fidelity. Users can shape their sound using three factory preset EQ settings: Speech/Monitor, Contour, and Max Contour, which are accessible via a selector switch. Additionally, both units support Bluetooth streaming and device pairing, featuring a Stereo Link button allowing users to wirelessly link two compatible PBK BT series loudspeakers.
Two independent input channels offer balanced 1/4-inch TRS phone jacks for line-level inputs, as well as female XLR jacks dedicated to dynamic microphone use. Additionally, a third channel provides a 1/8-inch stereo jack alongside two RCA phono jacks. These inputs are then mixed down to a mono signal to feed the loudspeaker. A mix output using a male XLR jack allows for the linking of added loudspeakers or sending a feed to a powered subwoofer.
The PBK 12BT is equipped with a 12-inch woofer and a Peavey PD10 1-inch diaphragm dynamic compression driver. It yields a frequency response of 57 Hz to 17 kHz, achieves a stated peak SPL of 122 dB with music, and weighs 14 kilos.
The PBK 15BT has a larger 15-inch woofer coupled with the same PD10 1-inch diaphragm dynamic compression driver, producing a frequency response of 55 Hz to 17 kHz. The 15-inch model achieves a stated peak SPL of 123 dB with music and weighs 16.5 kilos. Both models offer a nominal radiation pattern of 90 degrees in the horizontal plane and 60 degrees in the vertical plane.
The components are housed in injection-moulded plastic trapezoidal enclosures with dual rear corner angled sides for use as floor monitors. The cabinets include a full-coverage powder-coated, perforated, steel grille for protection, as well as a molded-in stand mount cup designed to fit standard 1 3/8-inch diameter poles.
