Description
The Peavey 6505® SUB is a powered low frequency speaker system engineered to provide very high levels of performance in a
compact loudspeaker. The 6505® SUB is capable of up to 119 dB peak SPL. The enclosure is made from 3/4" MDF, covered in black
Tolex-style covering, with a fabric style wooden frame grille with the same styling as the other 6505 series components, to offer an
attractive yet durable powered speaker system.
Input is via a 1/4" phone jack for speaker level signals, or use a balanced input to the preamp/EQ electronics consisting of one male
XLR jack. A woofer servo senses back-EMF from the woofer voice coil that is not a result of the drive signal, and subtracts the error
so that the woofer cone follows the drive waveform precisely. Constant Loudness (Fletcher-Munson) circuit for accentuating bass
at low listening volume levels. Two switch-mode power amplifier provides 150 watts continuous RMS each into the nominal 8 ohm
load of each voice coil of the dual voice-coil woofer, yielding 300 watts RMS total. Both amplifiers feature our famous DDT™ power
amplifier compression, which virtually eliminates audible power amplifier clipping.
Metal handles provide ease of transport, while the top located caster pockets make stacking a combo guitar unit a breeze.
Applications
The Peavey 6505® SUB has a variety of applications for bass augmentation of guitars, and other electric stringed instruments.
