Peavey has announced availability of its HIsys range in Europe. It comprises five units: three satellites and two subs.
The satellites (H10, H12 and H15) and subwoofers (H15 sub and H18 sub) are designed to be lightweight and versatile for use in a number of applications including bars, music venues and outdoor spaces.
Satellites (10â€, 12†or 15â€) share a turntable horn and symmetrical design suitable for monitor use as well as standard applications utilising a one-inch driver as well as 40-bit, 96kHz DSP.
In addition, each has four presets: Standard; Indoor; Monitor; and Low Cut, the latter of which allows the enclosure to 'match' to one of the HIsys subs.
The 15†and 18†subs are equipped with analogue processing and thanks to a stereo input (which provides a total of two inputs and two outputs), no external processing is needed when matching a sub to a satellite.
Additionally, there is a selectable crossover switch (80 or 125 Hz), a switch for the selection of the zero- or 180-degree phase, and a volume potentiometer.
The H15 satellite can reach 133dB and the H18 sub will peak at 135dB. The range utilises Class D amplification and a large aluminium plate which strengthens the rear of each respective cabinet and acts as a heat sink for the amplifier. Therefore there is no need for fans which making the units suitable for applications such as places of worship.
