smooth, even response, low distortion and good high frequency dispersion.
Advanced Digital Signal Processing (A.D.S.P.) provides the crossover function, driver limiting, as well as the
driver EQ to enable the speaker system to provide an accurate and neutral sound for any type of music. The
DSP processing uses 64 bit double-precision to insure accurate and transparent sound processing, and the input/
output sections use a 96 kHz sampling rate at 24 bits for maximum fidelity. Low-jitter clocking and professional
grade components insure the sound quality is superb.
An extremely flexible system of user presets and adjustments is implemented in the speaker system's DSP com-
puting core, and accessible via the rotary push-to-select knob and the LCD display. A total of 32 presets is avail-
able, with Factory presets made available, and room for user presets to be stored in memory, that are based off of
the Factory presets as starting points.
User adjustments include: bass and treble tone controls, polarity, and signal delay, all of which can be saved un-
der a User preset that is named with up to 16 alpha-numeric characters.
Thus, once a preferred set-up has been determined for a particular venue or typical use, these settings can be
saved and recalled easily.
The DM™115 speaker system power amplifiers providing the bi-amplification are low-distortion ultra-reliable
fan-cooled units providing a total of 660W peak available dynamic power for the system.
There is 410 W peak available dynamic power for the woofer, and 250 W peak available dynamic power for the
tweeter. The power supply for both amps is a linear type for good reliability coupled with low cost. Both amplifi-
ers feature sophisticated signal compression, which virtually eliminates audible power amplifier clipping. Cool-
ing is provided via a low-noise fan, for reliable operation under any conditions.
A built-in dynamic bass boost function provides the maximum amount of bass in such a small package.
Input is via a combo female XLR and 1/4" TRS phone jack with balanced input to the DSP preamp/EQ electron-
ics, and a Gain control. A Mic/Line switch allows for use of a microphone via the extra gain available when in
the "Mic" position.
A Thru output has a male XLR jack. This output allows linking of additional speaker systems, or feed of the sig-
nal to a powered subwoofer, etc.
Applications
The Peavey DM™115 has a variety of applications such as sound reinforcement, public address, side fill system,
karaoke or musical playback.
A typical signal source for the line-level inputs of the Peavey DM™115 would be a sound reinforcement mixing
console (mixer) or the output from a CD player, MP3 player or tape deck. A dynamic microphone can be con-
nected directly via the XLR input and used when the Mic/Line switch in placed into the "Mic" position as well.
