Title: Peavey PVXp 15 Active Speakers
Post by: tomi on November 29, 2014, 05:08:34 PM
Mga sir and sis,

May nakagamit na ba nito? I'm buying a Samson Auro D415 but they're out of stock at Audiophile and I was offered this.

I plan to use it mainly for vocals, but future for sound mixes on open (basketball court size) and closed venues small clubs. I might also use this as main speakers for the mic'd instruments in a band.

Price is not too far from Auro D415 and I've seen all great reviews online.

Anybody who's had the chance to use these?

    i chanced upon this peavey pvxp during a peavey seminar a couple months back held at the otis branch.

i consider this model as a 'medium-end' comparable with the mackie and qsc and not with samson auro.

Sir Jef2. Thanks. So parang kalevel sya ng Behringer B115 in terms of quality?

Would you recommend that I wait for the Auro D415 instead of buying this? In terms of price, mas mura ang Auro D415 kesa sa Peavey PVXp 15 (konti lang naman ang diperensya).

    i would give the peavey a level higher than the samson and behringer when it comes to the 'brand name'.  in terms of power, i would say the three are just even.

A so almost same lang din pala. Parehas din ba quality?

Thanks for the feedback sir! Baka ito na lang ang kunin ko kasi wala talagang stock ng Auro D415.

Anong voltage regulator ang gamit mo sir? At anong ipinalit mo sa high freq driver? Thanks.

tnt lng bro bili ka sa quiapo worth 1k lng.1.75" vcoil nun. ang stock driver is 1" vcoil lng nakaroskas lng sa loob kaya madali palitan...
mas open ang tunog ng mid hi kapag napalitan comparing  behringr  sira  agad amp section the first day I used it, badtrip tlga at nakakahiya sa customer.


avr 3000watts lng goldsource para sa lahat na un.led,powered speaker,mixer.ung crown macrotech 5002vz hiwalay avr

Salamat sir yahu.

Bad trip, bibili na ko sa Audiophile kaso wala na daw stock. Ang inoffer naman sakin ay yung PV 115D. 400W. Any feedback about this powered amp? Thanks brothers and sisters.

I have a habit of testing and testing before I buy... Ive tested both pvxp15, auro 415, samson 115d, even eon 615s... Of those I've tested, the pvxp emergted as the winner. Its clean sounding (like the jbl), but compared to the eon, the pxvp sounds fuller. No contest sa auro 415 and 115d. Samson speakers tends to be biased on the high frequencies which makes it sound harsh and medyo tunog lata.

Nakabili ako ng dalawang PVXP 15. Maayos naman sya. Happy user here.
Title: Re: Peavey PVXp 15 Active Speakers
Post by: densmodina on January 20, 2015, 08:18:04 AM
Peavey PVXP 15 is 400watts rms. So if you have 1 pair thats 800watts rms pwede for basketball court 200 pax. Only drawback is the bulkiness. But the bulk made the difference sa sound. Yun yung nagpa buo sa tunog ng pvxp.
Title: Re: Peavey PVXp 15 Active Speakers
Post by: tomi on January 20, 2015, 05:10:56 PM
Bulky nga sir pero ok naman tunog hehe
Title: Re: Peavey PVXp 15 Active Speakers
Post by: densmodina on January 20, 2015, 05:54:21 PM
Yep. A/B it with jbl eon 615, and its as clean as jbl pero mas matigas at buo tunog ng pvxp.

how much po pvxp 15? nakakabile ba 1pc lang?

and kung i pair ko sya sa b3 ko na 12" di ba lubog si b3 since 300wats lang sya? and si pvxp is 400wats

thanks po!
Title: Re: Peavey PVXp 15 Active Speakers
Post by: densmodina on January 24, 2015, 01:04:34 PM
Rounded off 40k, i think audiophile only sells by pair. Hindi sya bagay i pair sa b3, mo kasi first its a 15" compared sa 12" so iba na. At the same time is it as clean sounding? And wattage also will affect them.
Title: Re: Peavey PVXp 15 Active Speakers
Post by: judithp_shredder on January 24, 2015, 02:03:16 PM
sir, guaranteed po ba ung pvxp 15 na active speaker? heavy duty din po ba? pang outdoor?

and ano maganda na subs na pede iterno sakanya?

salamat po!
Title: Re: Peavey PVXp 15 Active Speakers
Post by: densmodina on January 24, 2015, 02:08:47 PM
Basta PVXP it's powered. Yes pwede naman sya pang outdoor. Matibay ang Peavey. Any sub pwede. Basta same wattage yung sub or higher. Dont get a lower wattage sub.
Title: Re: Peavey PVXp 15 Active Speakers
Post by: tomi on January 26, 2015, 08:37:54 PM
Yung binili ko ay PVXp 15 (15") at nagamit ko na sya outdoors. Wala akong nakitang problem. Actually, hindi ko sya maitodo kasi malakas hehe. Mga 11 o-clock lang inabot ko.

Bili ko sa Audiophile ay almost 40k kasi pair pero may discount kasi cash ang bayad ko. So yung 40k ko, nakabili pa ko ng cable and connector set.

Nagbasa basa din ako according sa mga gumamit ng PVXp, mas ok daw ipair ang PVXp 12 sa PVXp Sub nila na 15" din. Yon daw ang pinaka-magandang combination. Siguro dahil talagang defined yung mid-high ng 12: then yung low ng sub.

So since may 15" na ko, ang next plan ko ay sub naman and yung 12" pair. Para medyo flexible, pwede ko gawing FOH yung isang pair, then stage monitors yung iba. Or pwede ding lahat ay FOH.
Title: Re: Peavey PVXp 15 Active Speakers
Post by: densmodina on January 26, 2015, 08:44:17 PM
Thats a very good battle plan hehehe. Dapat PVXP 12 kukunin ko kaso naisip ko kelangan ko ng sub, kaya i opted sa 15 na para kahit isang pair na 15 ok na. Gagamitan ko naman ng behringer 8024 and sonic maximizer kaya ganda ng lumalabas na tunog.

I have talked to Peavey US about the inputs at the back. The XLR is for high impedance mic while the TRS is for Line input. Though combo jack sya iba pala ang input value. You would easily clip the speakers if you use the XLR input.

In case mga bro you want to improve the sound quality of the hi frequency
 please replace the rx14 to rx22, p audio na diroskas.bmd atsa pwede or tnt sa raon, greatly improve the mid hi freq nyan.tried them and lumabas pa boses nya.test nyo din
remove screws at the back,pull the amp module with metal case.be careful lng mahigpit ung metal casing.ayan na open at all are socket type lock parang kotse.hehehe
press muna terminal kasi nkalock and may damage when pulling the wires of hi freq.counterclockwise lng po.replace clockwise then ok na.
Title: Re: Peavey PVXp 15 Active Speakers
Post by: densmodina on January 27, 2015, 06:35:38 PM
Mahal din if mag change ng compression driver at diaphragm. Aabot ng 8k plus isang set. So mga around 17k para mapalitan ng rx22 yung pvxp.
Title: Re: Peavey PVXp 15 Active Speakers
Post by: yahu on January 28, 2015, 08:59:07 AM
tnt lang bro pwede na.sa raon madami, mejo bitin kasi ang hi freq sa boses nya hindi open sound.if incase you wanna improve mga bro

1,000 pesoses lang po ang TNT. result will be an improvement to the quality of hifreq.thanks

Post by: tomi on January 29, 2015, 07:02:52 PM
Sir Yahu, di ko pa natry magpalit nyan pero sige, matingnan. San sa raon yan sir?

Sir Densmodina, regarding sa input jacks ng PVXp, so kung galing ng mixer or eq, dapat ang gamitin natin ay yung TRS? Kasi ang binigay sakin ng audiophile e XLR ang end connection ko papunta sa speakers, then TRS papuntang mixer.
Title: Re: Peavey PVXp 15 Active Speakers
Post by: tomi on January 29, 2015, 07:05:52 PM
Mukang tama nga sir Dens. Ito sabi sa Manual:

SPECIAL NOTE! The normal input for line level is the ¼” TRS jack. It has reduced gain compared to the XLR
input, which has enough gain for a high-output microphone to be used with the Level control. Sensitivity of the
¼” TRS jack is 0.54 volts for full output, and 0.12 volts for the XLR jack.

Dapat kong palitan yung XLR ko into TRS. Hays.
Title: Re: Peavey PVXp 15 Active Speakers
Post by: densmodina on January 29, 2015, 08:40:05 PM
Yes. Basta daw line level ang papasok dapat TRS ang gamitin. Pag XLR kasi masyadong hot level, prone to clipping. Actually naka print yan sa PVXP sa likod, below the Combo jack.
Title: Re: Peavey PVXp 15 Active Speakers
Post by: tomi on January 29, 2015, 09:14:56 PM
Question sir, kelangan ba TRS or pwedeng TS lang? Kasi yung kabilang connector ko ay TS lang (Neutrik NP2X). Tapos meron akong spare na TS at yon ang balak kong ipalit sa XLR ko going to the PVXp.
Title: Re: Peavey PVXp 15 Active Speakers
Post by: densmodina on January 29, 2015, 09:19:16 PM
TS is only good for short cable runs, maximum lang nya dapat 5 meters lang. TRS works like XLR. Balanced sya and can run upto 25 meters. Gawin mo ganito. Bili ka ng 1 meter cable, 2 female xlr then 2 trs. Hatiin mo sa 2 yung 1 meter cable. One end female xlr, the other end TRS so pwede mo sya i connect sa existing cable mo.
Title: Re: Peavey PVXp 15 Active Speakers
Post by: tomi on January 29, 2015, 09:27:09 PM
Gets ko sir, pero ganito, yung cable na binigay sakin ng Audiophile ay TS ang isang end (papuntang mixer), then XLR yung papuntang Speakers. So dapat palitan ko din yung TS na end, gawin kong TRS, right? Palitan ko na lang din TRS yung XLRs para parehas na TRS na.

Two pairs ng 15 meters pa naman yon.

Title: Re: Peavey PVXp 15 Active Speakers
Post by: densmodina on January 29, 2015, 09:49:42 PM
Ah. So yung mixer mo is PL ang output? Oo much better gawin na lang TRS both ends to be safe
Title: Re: Peavey PVXp 15 Active Speakers
Post by: tomi on January 29, 2015, 09:54:56 PM
Peavey PV6 lang sir.
Title: Re: Peavey PVXp 15 Active Speakers
Post by: densmodina on January 29, 2015, 10:00:30 PM
Ah i see. Gawin mo na lng TRS yung ends
Title: Re: Peavey PVXp 15 Active Speakers
Post by: densmodina on January 29, 2015, 10:11:48 PM
But if ako masusunod, yung TS to xlr mo, gagawin kong both xlrs ang end. Then gagawa ako ng 1 pair na TRS to Male xlr(1/2 meter each) at 1 pair TRS to Female XLR(1/2 meter each). Para you would connect one end to the mixer and one end to the speaker. Thia way if in the future you would upgrade and need a cable na both XLR ang ends, or yung isang side kelangan lang TRS and sa kabila naman ay XLRby doing this mas magiging flexible ka.

Post by: tomi on January 29, 2015, 10:20:07 PM
Mukang ayos nya yan sir na suggestion mo ah. Marami nga lang akong bibilin haha.
Title: Re: Peavey PVXp 15 Active Speakers
Post by: densmodina on January 29, 2015, 10:27:04 PM
Oo. Sound system is really an investment. Specially if you want to it to sound as its supposed to and last as long as possible. At least by doing so, mas magiging flexible ka if need arises.
Title: Re: Peavey PVXp 15 Active Speakers
Post by: tomi on January 29, 2015, 10:40:50 PM
Tama ka sir. Kelangan talaga sacrifice dito, at mahalaga din ay tama agad ang gagawin sa unang try pa lang para hindi sayang ang pera at panahon. Salamat sa suggestion sir.

Rs galang along sales st. Sa raon
1" coil ang orig peavey rx14
1.75" coil ang tnt. Behringer coils and tnt are the same.so safe lng bumili nyan.same contractor if im correct.
Title: Re: Peavey PVXp 15 Active Speakers
Post by: densmodina on January 30, 2015, 09:50:04 AM
Saka na lang ako magpapalit ng rx22 pag natapos na warranty... Hehehe mahirap na. Tsaka as much as possible yung peavey din... Though yung paglabas ng mid at high freq sa akin bukang buka kasi dumadaan ako sa bbe sonic maximizer.

tanong lang sirs, pano ba malaman kung nag cclip na yung pvxp speakers? kasi isa lang yung ilaw sa likod kulay green para sa power/clip nakalagay. tinotodo ko na kasi naka steady na green parin. mag rered ba yun or mag fflash pag nag cclip na? tia guys!
Title: Re: Peavey PVXp 15 Active Speakers
Post by: densmodina on March 17, 2015, 06:43:17 AM
Alam ko when it clips na aactivate yung DDT at nag flash ng red light. Ang tinodo mo lang ba yung speakers? How about yung signal/source papunta sa speaker naka high volume din ba?
Title: Re: Peavey PVXp 15 Active Speakers
Post by: rob3 on March 17, 2015, 09:32:18 AM
Naka max ako sa likod ng speakers then sa mixer tinodo ko din. Kulay green lang sa likod di nagrered or nag fflash. Sa ibang powered speaker ko kasi may seperate na ilaw yung clip at power sa likod, wAla pa ako sa 0 sa mixer nailaw na yung clip.
Mukhang wala ata sa pvxp yung ilaw para sa clipping  :eek:
Title: Re: Peavey PVXp 15 Active Speakers
Post by: densmodina on March 17, 2015, 02:09:54 PM
Hindi ko pa napa clip yung pxvp ko. But sa experience ko with a Peavey KB4 which also uses DDT, isa lang ang led nya(green for power) pero once na nag cclip sya, automatic nag kikick yung DDT then yung green light nag iintermitent na red.
Title: Re: Peavey PVXp 15 Active Speakers
Post by: rob3 on March 17, 2015, 04:54:44 PM
ah ganun ba sir. sana ganun din sa pvxp, sobrang lakas na kasi talagang steady green parin, kinakabahan naman ako itodo pati gain dun sa compressor/limiter ko baka masira speaker  ^-^

buhayin k lang thread nato.hehe

im been checking this unit for quite a while because of its price,
but i'm also into the new EV zlx 112 (around 41k sa raon)... yung peavey pvxp 15 36k sa raon den..

hingi lang sana ko new review sa mga nakabili na ng peavey.
FYI:almost wala ng stock sa audiophile.hehe.. (sabi rin nila hindi na daw magdedealer ang audiophile ng peavey products. nakausap ko mismo sales department nila)

advance thanks sa mga reviewers!
