Product Overview
Add compact, portable, room-filling low end to your system with the PVs 12 powered subwoofer. 1,000-watts of onboard power driving a 12" woofer in a vented enclosure delivers chest-thumping bass down to 48 Hz because it's all about that bass. The high-density cabinet directs all generated energy toward the audience, producing more powerful low end with greater efficiency. Plus, the PVs 12 plays well with others thanks to a built-in crossover and high-pass output that ensures compatibility with a wide variety of speakers. Add Peavey's proprietary Bass Enhancement feature to the mix, and the PVs 12 outperforms any other subwoofer in its class. Steel handles, rugged locking casters, high-density MDF, and a heavy-duty steel grille make the PVs your reliable cohort for night-in-night-out performance. A pair of threaded pole mounts allow the cabinet to be deployed vertically or horizontally and provide flexibility with a variety of powered top-box sizes (sold separately). Internal DSP provides control over crossover functions, compression, limiting, and low-frequency EQ so you can dial in the perfect settings for room and system compatibility.
