Description

The new SSE enclosure series features highpower ratings with custom components, asleek look and a unique, snap-in metalgrille. The SSE 26 is a two-way systemfeaturing the highly acclaimed Peavey 14XTtitanium compression driver with a SoundGuard IV tweeter protection network andtwo maximum-performance 6.5" woofers. Itis rated at 300 Watts program and 600 Wattspeak. This lightweight speaker system isideal for smaller venues where space is at apremium. Connections include a four-pinNeutrik® Speakon® or a paralleled two-position terminal block for additionalcabinets. The SSE Series is available inblack, white and natural finishes.

Frequency response

This measurement is useful in determininghow accurately a given unit reproduces aninput signal. The frequency response of theSSE 26 is measured at a distance of 1 meterusing a 1 Watt (into the nominal impedance)swept-sine input signal. As shown in figure1, the selected drivers in the SSE 26 combineto give a smooth frequency response from100 Hz to 17 kHz.

Directivity

Beamwidth is derived from the -6 dB pointsfrom the polar plots (see figure 3), which aremeasured in a whole-space anechoicenvironment. Q and Directivity Index areplotted for the on-axis measurementposition. These are specifications provide areference to the coverage characteristics ofthe unit and provide insight into properplacement and installation in the chosenenvironment. The blending of thecomponents of the SSE 26 exhibit adesirable beamwidth and directivity (figures3 & 4) suitable for sound reinforcementapplications.

Power handling

There are many different approaches topower handling ratings. Peavey rates thisloudspeaker system's power handling usinga full-range form of the AES Standard 2-1984. Using audio band 20 Hz to 20 kHzpink noise with peaks of four times the RMSlevel, this strenuous test signal assures theuser that every portion of this system canwithstand today's high technology music.This rating is contingent upon having aminimum of 3 dB available amplifierheadroom.

Harmonic distortion

Second and third harmonic distortions vs.frequency are plotted in figures 5 & 6 for twopower levels. Ten percent (10%) of ratedinput power and either one percent (1%) ofrated input power or 1 Watt, whichever isgreater. Distortion is read from the graph asthe difference between the fundamentalsignal (frequency response) and the desiredharmonic. As an example, a distortion curvethat is down 40 dB from the fundamental isequivalent to 1% distortion.

Mounting

Caution: Before attempting to mount thisspeaker, consult a certified structuralengineer. The speaker may fall due toimproper installation, resulting in seriousinjury and property damage. DO NOTsuspend or mount any other product ordevice from this SSE 26 enclosure. Themaximum enclosure angle 45°. Use onlyGrade 5 hardware or better. All associatedrigging is the responsibility of others.
