Thank you for purchasing the QW -118P, the powered version of the QW 118. The QW 118P is designed, from start to finish,
with flexibility in mind. This QW delivers a whopping 1500 Watts of peak dynamic power to the sub, and another 750 Watts of
peak dynamic power to the left or right speaker outputs, enough power to shake your teeth loose! Use the QW 118P strictly as
a powered subwoofer with built-in electronic crossover filtering and a high pass, line-level output, or simultaneously drive a
™
pair of full-range passive speakers from the left and right output jacks. Add Peavey's patented DDT compression, the award
® ®
winning kosmos and a super high-powered Low Rider bass woofer, and you have one of the most powerful and flexible
subwoofers on the planet.
It is very important that you ensure the QW 118P has the proper AC line voltage supplied. You can find the proper voltage for
your QW 118P printed next to the IEC line power cord on the rear panel of the unit. Please read this guide carefully to ensure
your personal safety as well as the safety of your equipment.

The Peavey QW 118P is a powered, bridged, three-piece capable speaker system engineered to provide the highest levels of
performance. The unit is loaded with the new extra high-power 18" Low Rider bass woofer. Capable of delivering over 130 dB
peak SPL in the bass range, this system can pump out an incredible amount of low end. The QW 118P is constructed of
™
premium .720" plywood and is covered with a tough, durable Hammer Head black, textured polyurea coating. A 16-gauge
powder-coated, perforated metal grille covers the front of the system to protect the speakers from external damage. The QW
118P is designed with a built-in stand mount pole tunnel for speaker stand use.
Flexibility is designed into the QW 118P. The unit can be used strictly as a powered subwoofer, with built-in crossover filtering
and high-pass, line-level output or with the option of driving full-range, passive speaker systems from the left and right output
jacks.
Balanced inputs for each channel include one combo female XLR and 1/4" TRS phone jack, and one male XLR thru all
connected in parallel. The power amplifiers provide bridged subwoofer output power to the subwoofer, and the left and right
speaker outputs are low-distortion units that supply 1500 Watts of peak dynamic power to the subwoofer and 750 Watts peak
dynamic power to the left or right speaker outputs. The amplifiers feature Peavey's patented DDT compression, which virtually
eliminates power amplifier clipping. Metal handles on each side provide easy transport, while rear casters allow the unit to be
flipped over and rolled around.
