Peavey PV15M Passive Unpowered Floor Monitor (500 Watts, 1x15")

Hear everything on stage with these road-worthy floor wedges! The Peavey PV-15M handles 500 watts program, 1000 watts peak power, with bass down to 68 Hz. Unpowered. Requires separate power amplifier.

Add stage monitors to your PA rig without breaking the bank with Peavey's affordable PV 15M floor monitor. Handling 500 watts program and a whopping 1000 watts peak, these wedges have the oomph to easily slice through your stage volume. The classic trapezoidal shape sits sturdily at a 30- or 45-degree angle from the floor, depending on which side you rest it on -- so you can angle your PV 15Ms exactly as the drummer, keyboardist or singer needs them. And as an added bonus, the PV 15M monitors have a built-in bracket for pole-mounting. That means that you can add two speaker stands and a power amp, and instantly turn two floor monitors into a main PA system.

Sturdy, Simple Design

Peavey is known for the tough, road-worthy products in their long-running PV series, and the 15M floor monitors are no exception. Peavey PV 15M floor monitors employ a simple, low-profile design. Behind the heavy-duty steel grille, you'll find Peavey's two-way speaker system: a 15-inch Sheffield Pro woofer and a 14XT titanium-diaphragm driver with a 90-degree by 40-degree constant-directivity horn. The carpet-covered box has a sturdy steel handle for easy transport, and on the other end, you'll find the 1 3/8" pole-mounting bracket and dual parallel 1/4" input jacks. Two input jacks mean you can plug in your 1/4" speaker cable to one monitor, and plug in a second 1/4" speaker cable to a second monitor. After all, at this price, you'll want to pick up at least two PV 15Ms.

Sound Guard for Overload Protection

read more Remember, when you set up two 8-ohm loudspeakers in parallel, you're effectively reducing the speakers' resistance to 4 ohms. The PV 15Ms have a nominal impedance (or resistance) of 8 ohms, so simply divide 8 by the number of PV 15Ms you're running in parallel. Reducing resistance by daisy-chaining your monitors increases power to the monitors: picture the signal coming out of your power amp and into your monitors as traffic traveling down a highway that's now twice as wide. Increasing power can result in speaker overload. That's why Peavey's exclusive Sound Guard IV provides overload and overdrive protection for your horn driver. So go ahead -- daisy-chain a second PV 15M to cover a wider area with the same monitor mix. Sound Guard means fewer blown drivers for monitors that last.

Floor Monitors that Double as Main PA Speakers

With 500 watts program power (also known as continuous power, or RMS) and 1000 watts peak -- and a maximum SPL of 127 dB -- these Peavey PV 15M speakers are powerful enough to be more than just floor monitors. In fact, a pair of 15Ms make a fantastic main PA for those impromptu house party gigs. If your band needs a pair of monitors for your practice space, but you also want a portable PA so you can host a battle-of-the-bands at your drummer's barbecue, the Peavey PV 15M is a perfect choice. These speakers have a standard 1 3/8" pole-mount cup for mounting on speaker trees. Add a pair of tripod speaker stands to elevate your PV 15Ms above the crowd for the whole backyard to hear.

Just Add a Power Amplifier

The Peavey PV 15M floor monitors are compact and lightweight because they're passive speakers. That means they don't require power cables, but they do require a speaker-level input from your power amp or powered mixer. When matching speakers to power amps, the rule of thumb is to use an amp that can deliver twice the wattage of the speaker's continuous (program) power rating. Peavey makes it easy for you: the PV 15Ms are rated at 500 watts continuous power at 8 ohms, so to get the most out of your monitors, match them to an amp that can deliver 1000 watts per channel into an 8-ohm load. If you've already got a power amp or powered mixer, PV 15M floor monitors are a perfect choice to complete your system.

Features:

- Rugged floor monitor with carpet covering, steel handle and grille
- 500 watts program, 1000 watts peak power handling
- Impedance: 8 ohms
- Two-way speaker: 15" Sheffield Pro 1500+ woofer, and 14XT compression horn driver
- Peavey Sound Guard IV high-frequency driver protection

Quality floor monitor wedges aren't a luxury -- they're a must-have for delivering a solid stage performance. Luckily, the PV 15M floor monitors have the power you need to cut through the stage and hear the whole band. Add monitor wedges to your practice space or live PA rig with the Peavey PV 15M floor monitors.

Note: Unpowered speaker, requires separate power amplifier.

This review has been selected by our experts as particularly helpful.
I expect this monitor to last a long long time. It's a Peavey. I have Peavey equipment dating back to the early 70's that still works. MADE IN THE USA!
Sound
Have used countless live monitors from pro stage use, to small jams. The sound is clear, and has great bass response.
Features
No Acc.
Ease of Use
Just plug it in.
Quality
This thing is made like a tank. It's a bit heavy, but it's worth it. quality cage will protect the speaker and tweeter.
Value
Compared to other crap monitors, you will not go wrong with this unit. This compares to "Wedges" used on pro stages. I am not kidding. I have used those things, and have plugged them in as a roadie!
Manufacturer Support
I have never had to call Peavey EVER!
The Wow Factor
It looks good. What else do you want. Your audience won't see it.
