The SP™ 1G is a step up to a
higher performance loudspeaker
system within the SP line of enclosures. 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 fullrange 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 enclosure. 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 enclosure to protect the low-frequency
driver from unforeseen accidents.
Sound Guard 44XT™, a version
of Peavey’s proprietary highfrequency 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 highfrequency 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™.

When operating the SP™ 1G in
bi-amp mode with an active crossover, the CS® X1 input/crossover
module for the CS® 800S is
recommended. This crossover
is designed specifically for this type
of loudspeaker. It may be obtained
as an add-on feature to the
CS 800S at a modest cost. The
proper configuration for this crossover module when using it with the
SP™ 1G is to have it set to SP™ 2
mode and reverse the polarity of the
high-frequency driver. This will give
the best possible sonic and directional performance from the SP™ 1G
without spending hundreds of
dollars for a fully programmable
digital crossover.

FREQUENCY RESPONSE
This measurement is useful in
determining how accurately a
given unit reproduces an input
signal. The frequency response
of the SP™ 1G is measured at a
distance of 1 meter using a 2.8 volt
swept-sine input signal. As shown in
Figure 1, the selected drivers in the
SP™ 1G combine to give a smooth
frequency response from 50 Hz to
19.0 kHz.

DIRECTIVITY
Beamwidth and directivity
factors are derived from the -6 dB
points from the polar plots (see
Figure 3), which are measured in a

whole space anechoic environment.
These are specifications that
provide a reference to the coverage
characteristics of the unit. These
parameters provide insight for
proper placement and installation
in the chosen environment. The
blending of the components of
the SP 1G exhibit a desirable
beamwidth and directivity (Figures
3 and 4) suitable for sound
reinforcement applications.

POWER HANDLING
There are many different
approaches to power handling
ratings. Peavey Electronics rates
this unit’s system power handling
using a modified form of the AES
Standard 2-1984. It utilizes audio
band limited (20 Hz to 20 kHz) pink
noise with peaks over four times the
RMS level. This strenuous test
signal assures the user that every
portion of this system can withstand
today’s high technology music. The
test signal contains large amounts
of very low-frequency energy,
effectively simulating the frequency
content of live music situations.
The full measure of high
frequencies in the test signal allow
for exposure of the speaker system
to synthesized tones that may
extend beyond audibility. This rating
is contingent on having a minimum
of 3 dB of amplifier headroom

available so as to ensure that
clipping does not occur.

ARCHITECTURAL AND
ENGINEERING SPECIFICATIONS
The loudspeaker system shall
have an operating bandwidth of
50 Hz to 19 kHz. The nominal
output level shall be 99 dB when
measured at a distance of one
meter with an input of one watt.
The nominal impedance shall be
8 ohms. The maximum continuous
power handling shall be 450 watts,
maximum program power of
900 watts and a peak power input
of at least 1,800 watts, with a
minimum amplifier headroom of
3 dB. The nominal radiation
geometry shall be 77 degrees in the
horizontal plane and 63 degrees in
the vertical plane. The outside
dimensions shall be 33.75 inches
high by 19.0 inches wide by
20 inches deep. The weight shall
be 95 pounds. The loudspeaker
system shall be a Peavey model
SP™ 1G.
