Description

The Quadra 12P is a powered, bi- amplified, two-way speaker system engineered to provide the highest levels of performance available in a compact, powered loudspeaker. Capable of over 130 dB peak SPLs, this system can pump out a huge amount of sound. The enclosure utilizes high- impact polypropylene in an injection- molded plastic trapezoidal form with a coated, perforated metal grille for a cosmetically elegant yet durable powered speaker system.

This two-way powered system is comprised of an 800 Watt dynamic peak power amplifier driving a 12" BWX Black Widow woofer (1208-4) with a Kevlar??? impregnated cone, with surround and dust cap specially treated for excellent environmental stability. A 200 Watt peak dynamic power amplifier drives the RX22 compression driver and features a 2" titanium diaphragm with Radialinear Planar Phase Correction in the phase plug (US Patent #6064745). A Quadratic Throat Geometry constant directivity horn (US Patent #6059069) with a coverage pattern of 90?? by 45?? is molded integrally into the enclosure.

The Quadra 12P houses one combo female XLR, a 1/4" RTS phone jack and one male XLR in its preamp, all connected in parallel. A separate, switchable female XLR microphone input is also provided. The power amplifiers are low distortion units providing 400 W RMS into the nominal 4 Ohm load of the woofer and 100 W RMS into the nominal 6 Ohm load of the tweeter, both selected for their reliability and superb musical performance capability. Both amplifiers feature our patented SPS compression, which virtually eliminates audible power amplifier clipping.

Multiple molded-in handles provide easy transport, while multiple mounting points on top and bottom for the Peavey Versamount70 and a molded-in stand adapter allow maximum utility.

ARCHITECTURAL AND ENGINEERING

SPECIFICATIONS

This powered loudspeaker system has a frequency response from 62 Hz to 18 kHz. The peak SPL with inaudible distortion will reach 130 dB when measured at a distance of 1 meter and driven to full output capacity. The system utilizes a 12" BWX Black Widow woofer and an RX22 compression driver tweeter. The nominal radiation pattern is 90?? in the horizontal plane and 45?? in the vertical plane.

The powered, bi-amplified loudspeaker system has a group of medium impedance input connectors consisting of one combo female XLR, a 1/4" RTS phone jack and one male XLR on the rear panel, all connected in parallel. Additionally, a separate,

switchable microphone input (female XLR) and a Loop Out/Loop In is provided. A volume control is located next to the input jack group.

The system power amplifiers have an unfiltered frequency response of 10 Hz to 30 kHz, which deviates no more than +0, -1dB up to rated power; a damping factor greater than 100 @ 1 kHz into 4 Ohms; hum and noise better than 90 dB below rated power; and THD and IMD of less than 0.1%. The woofer amplifier is capable of handling 400 Watts into a 4 Ohm nominal load, and the tweeter amplifier is capable of 100 Watts output into a 6 Ohm load. Both incorporate independent SPS compression.

The input signal is electronically divided into high frequencies and low frequencies by a staggered pole, third order slope line-level crossover at

1.8 kHz. The low frequencies are processed to provide bass boost, subsonic filtering and overall response shaping, and the high frequencies are equalized for constant directivity horn EQ and response shaping.

The enclosure is constructed of injection-molded 1/4" thick polypropylene with a UL flame rating and internal reinforcing ribs. A handgrip is molded into each side of the woofer and on the top rear edge.

A vinyl-coated, perforated metal grille provides woofer protection. The cabinet incorporates four tall, sturdy rubber feet for floor standing use and four mounting-point inserts on the top and bottom, each for flying use.

The outside dimensions are 23- 11/16" high by 17-13/16" wide by 13-3/4" deep, and the unit weighs

55 lbs. Power requirements: maximum

660 Watts, nominal 180 Watts, 120VAC, 60 Hz domestic and 240 VAC, 50 Hz (European).
