zZounds Gear Experts Say...
Built-in three-channel mixer. 270 watts total peak output power. Lightweight neodymium speaker magnet.
Overview
The PR 15P packs power and full-range sound quality into one compact loudspeaker. This 2-way powered system contains 270 watts of bi-amped power. A separate amplifier for each speaker provides crystal clear sound even at very high levels. 200 watts powers the heavy-duty 15 inch woofer and 70 watts is dedicated to the RX 14 compression driver. Both amplifiers feature DDT compression, which virtually eliminates audible power amplifier clipping. The enclosure utilizes tough polypropylene in an injection-molded plastic trapezoidal form, with a coated steel grille to offer an eye-pleasing yet durable powered speaker system. The PR 15P has a built-in three-channel mixer with individual level controls for XLR or 1/4 inch connections. Molded-in handles provide ease of transport while multiple mounting points for pole stand and Peavey Versamount brackets make it perfect for installs. The Peavey PR 15P has a variety of applications such as sound reinforcement, public address, side fill system, karaoke, or musical playback. It also makes an excellent stage monitor and can be easily added to an existing sound system.

Thirty five years using Peavey has proven the brand's consistent durability. Sound quality is good too. These cost $300 less than the high-priced competitor's products. I am not knocking the other brands. I just think these are a much better value.
Sound
Compares favorably with JBL Eons and Mackie active speakers. If I were to nit-pick, I'd say the crossover point is too low, the horns are slightly over-emphasized, and the whole system seems to be "Fletcher-Munson" enhanced. (pronounced lows and highs) That's OK at low volumes anyway. At high volumes, it isn't a problem either for most users unless you are dealing with finicky hi-fi full-range applications. Realistically, the system reproduces from 70Hz to 18kHz very accurately with reasonable dispersion.
Features
Built in mini mixer is a huge plus for versatility and convenience. I wish these cabs were stackable, had wheels and handles. As they are, you can pole-mount them which is fine. Carrying handles are intelligently placed for ergonomic handling and balance.
Ease of Use
The only way it could be much better is if they made the cabs with wheels and handles, or if they could roll themselves to the van.
Quality
Drivers are good. Neodymium magnets power speaker-motors with less weight. Poly-carb cabs are durable, lightweight and reasonably non-resonant. Class-D amps are OK and efficient so there is… read more no fan noise and heat sinks are not too heavy.
Value
Certainly one of the best values out there. Peavey is not over-charging for neodymium like some manufacturers. As consumers, we need to be informed. One of the greatest misinformation scams around today is the misconception that Neodymium is actually "rare" and therefore expensive. Facts: "neodymium" is a "rare Earth" element. Rare earth elements are a class of elements on the periodic table. That does NOT mean that neodymium is rare. In fact, it is the second most abundant of all the rare earth class elements at 338 ppb in the earth's crust. It is not rare, difficult to mine or process and should not be exorbitantly expensive. This powered speaker gives you 95% of the performance of Mackie and JBL active loudspeakers at slightly more than half the cost. That's a bargain.
Manufacturer Support
Only dealt with Peavey support once in over thirty years of using their gear. (a small speaker replacement issue which was my fault) I got the right person on the phone within a few minutes and resolved the problem quickly.
The Wow Factor
If money were no object, I would spring for the extra 5% performance that other brands produce. As it is, I am much more comfortable with these than the higher priced models of other makers.
