The Peavey Impulse
®
100P is a powered bi-amplified two-way speaker system engineered to provide the highest
levels of performance in a compact powered loudspeaker. Capable of over 120 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 to offer a cosmetically elegant yet durable,
powered speaker system.
This two-way powered system is comprised of a 200 W dynamic peak power amplifier driving a 10" heavy-duty
long-throw woofer with treated cone and dust cap. The 14XT
compression driver is driven by a 70 W peak
dynamic power amplifier, and features a 1.4" titanium diaphragm, and is coupled to an extremely smooth and
well controlled constant directivity horn, with a coverage pattern of 90˚ by 45˚, that is molded integrally into the
enclosure.
Balanced inputs provided to the preamp/EQ electronics are one combo female XLR, and 1/4" RTS phone jack, and
one male XLR, all connected in parallel. The power amplifiers providing the bi-amplification are low-distortion
units providing 150 W RMS into the nominal 8 Ohm load of the woofer, and a 50 W RMS into the nominal 8 ohm
load of the tweeter. They were selected for their reliability and superb musical performance capability. Both
amplifiers feature our patented DDT
compression which virtually eliminates audible power amplifier clipping.
Molded-in handle provides ease of transport, while multiple mounting points (top and bottom) for the Peavey
Versamount
provide for maximum utility.

The powered loudspeaker system shall have a frequency response from 80 Hz to 20 kHz. The peak SPL with
inaudible distortion shall reach 120 dB with music as a source, when measured at a distance of 1 m and driven to
full output capacity. The system shall utilize a 10" heavy-duty, long throw woofer and a 14XT
compression driver
tweeter. The nominal radiation pattern shall be 90˚ in the horizontal plane, and 45˚ in the vertical plane.
The powered biamplified loudspeaker system shall have a group of medium impedance input connectors
consisting of one combo female XLR and 1/4" RTS phone jack and one male XLR on the rear panel, all connected
in parallel. A Loop Out and a Loop In jack shall be provided. A volume control will be located next to the input jack
group.
The system power amplifiers shall have an unfiltered frequency response of 10 Hz to 30 kHz which deviates no
more than +0, -1 dB up to rated power, a damping factor greater than 100 @ 1 kHz into 8 Ohms, hum and noise
better than 90 dB below rated power, and THD and IMD of less than 0.1%. The woofer amplifier shall be capable
of 150 W into a 8 Ohm nominal load, and the tweeter amplifier shall be capable of 50 W output into a 8 Ohm load,
and both shall incorporate independent DDT
compression.
The input signal shall be electronically divided into high frequencies and low frequencies by a staggered pole 3rd
order slope line-level crossover at 2 kHz. The low frequencies shall be processed to provide bass boost, subsonic
filtering and overall response shaping, and the high frequencies shall be equalized for constant directivity horn
EQ and response shaping.
