DESCRIPTION
The SP
™
1G is a step up to a
higher performance loudspeaker
system within the SP line of enclo-
sures. It is a two-way loudspeaker
consisting of a 15" Black Widow
®
woofer and a 44XT
™
compression
driver loaded with a CH
®
7 constant
directivity horn.
This unit can be driven in full-
range or bi-amp mode simply by
plugging into the desired jack on the
input plate. The trapezoidal design
of the enclosure allows arrays to be
constructed much more easily than
when using a rectangular shaped
box. This shape also greatly
reduces the buildup of standing
waves on the inside of the enclo-
sure. This ensures a minimum of
mid-bass and midrange coloration
of the reproduced sound due to the
cabinet. The SP
™
1G is constructed
of 3/4" plywood and covered with
Peavey’s durable black carpet.
Polymer corners are also a part of
the unit to provide added protection
to the enclosure. A powder-coated
expanded metal grille covers the
lower part of the front of the enclo-
sure to protect the low-frequency
driver from unforeseen accidents.
Sound Guard 44XT
™
, a version
of Peavey’s proprietary high-
frequency driver protection circuit
designed especially for the 44XT
™
,
has been included as an integral
part of the crossover for the
SP
™
1G. The input signal is routed
through the Sound Guard 44XT
™
circuit in both full-range and bi-amp
modes of operation. When the high-
frequency drive level to the SP
™
1G
exceeds a predetermined threshold,
the Sound Guard 44XT
™
circuit is
engaged. This is achieved at
approximately 90% full-rated power
with most program material. The
effect that this has is to
decrease the signal level going
to the 44XT
™
by about 6 dB so that
it will not be damaged due to long
term (thermal) overpowering. Short
duration transients will not be
attenuated by Sound Guard 44XT
™
and have the possibility to damage
the 44XT
™
.
