1,200-watt State-of-the-art Column Array

The Peavey LN1263 offers best-in-class feature-to-value and performance. This powered column loudspeaker boasts a room-filling 1,200 watts and a great-sounding array of custom state-of-the-art drivers. The LN1263 includes a 6-channel mixer and enough I/O for house of worship use, presentations, or coffeehouse gigs. Setup is a breeze, thanks to application-specific EQ presets. Per-channel compressors and eight onboard effects ensure pro-quality sound. Beyond that, Bluetooth audio streaming makes it easy to add backing tracks to your performance or play break music between sets. Rugged enough for real-world use, the LN1263 features an aluminum satellite chassis and birch-ply subwoofer.

Flexible 6-channel mixer and ample I/O

The LN1263 includes a 6-channel mixer with four XLR combo inputs, which double as guitar channels. You also get stereo 1/4" inputs and Bluetooth connectivity — great for patching in media players and streaming audio from your smart device. Seven built-in EQ presets, eight onboard effects, and per-channel compression ensure easy setup and a polished, pro-quality sound. You can also save and lock scenes and adjust the level of the subwoofer independently.

Modern DSP offers incredible ease of use

Using and operating the Peavey LN1263 is a cinch. Take command with its onboard LCD screen or control it remotely via Bluetooth using a specialized app on your iOS device. This cutting-edge app includes Simple and Professional modes, which grant advanced users complete control while simplifying features for novice users. At Sweetwater, we appreciate the LN1263’s intelligent, easy-to-use design.

Rugged enough for real-world use

The LN1263 is tough enough to survive whatever you dish out. Its satellite speaker boasts a rugged aluminum housing. Its multi-ply birch subwoofer is both durable and lightweight. The satellite includes a speaker stand and twist-lock speaker cable connector, so it can be positioned remotely for applications where stereo configuration or extra coverage is necessary.

This product doesn't have any review media yet!

We use 2 units for crowds up to 300 people. The Dynamic response is better than my previous EV and JBl Line arrays. They produce an SPL that is fantastic and the clarity is excellent. We are a full-service provider with KJ, DJ and small band sound reinforcement. The ability to split the upper portion of the tower makes the LN-1263 incredibly versatile. For venues from 50 people we can use just one and split the top. We can add the other unit for larger venues. Overall, we are extremely pleased with the LN-1263. We have two suggestions: The documentation could be much improved! The pole and upper speakers come with a carrying bag, but the subwoofer does not. Had to order customer covers for it. Peavey does not provide them.

I can write a review about after all these years. Totally pleased with these speakers. Super compact. Sound great. We use them for weddings and small proms (up to 150)

We downsized this component because of our ages. we love its easy of setting up. Our only complaint would be with the lack of guidance in the manual and online regarding setup and usage of the the DSP. Once understand (and it's not really that difficult) This is an excellent product! Sweetwater, especially Logan Mlller are a great resource and help for all of our needs. Thank you!
The Glorification Singers

First time owner of a column array so I cannot compare to others. I deploy the unit with an acoustic duo. We place the unit between us, and behind us about 5-6 ft.

PROs:
- sets up in minutes. not kidding.
- plenty loud for small venues (in fact, I was told to turn it down when the volume was at just 50%).
- only have to make 1 trip to get the unit from my car to the stage
- the sound is very good with plenty of bass (this is why I got a 12" subwoofer instead of smaller). The high and mids and crisp and clear.
- sound dispersion is at a wide angle. Wider than normal speakers, and we can hear it well on either side.
- I like the "MODE" setting - which is a way to quickly dial in an EQ. I was using ROCK setting but ran into a bit of feedback, so I quickly changed it to COUNTRY which lowered the highs, and the feedback was eliminated.

CONs:
- the subwoofer is a bit heavy to carry individually for more than several steps. I use a hand cart for long distances. (BUT, I love the bass, and that's what I wanted, so this is not a complaint)
- used the LN1263 mixer app on my iPad. The manual link within the app results in a "PAGE NOT FOUND" message. Why do I need the manual? because there are some quirks that I discovered by using it and having the manual would probably have saved me time. i.e. the volume faders are limited by the volume set on the subwoofer mixer. for example, if the ch 1 fader on the mixer on the subwoofer is set to 5, the fader on the app will adjust the volume proportionally from that level. So Peavey loses 1/2 pt for the quirks and the lack of manual availability, IMHO. I am not planning on using the mixer app at a live gig until I get more experience with it.

I like the unit a lot and I am looking forward to using it in a larger venue coming up. Well done Peavey.

I have only played a few gigs so far with this unit....so opinions possibly changing after a period of time. First off, there is very little on YouTube as to what this unit actually sounds like. They are many videos showing the technical aspects of it, assembly, features, etc. but not much to actually hear it. I purchased it primarily because it had a built in mixer with sufficient channels for a duo including guitar channels and Ipad input. It also has a mixer out which enables powered monitors to be used keeping the effects as well. I use it only in the simplest way possible. I have downloaded the app but do not use it as I use a laptop with tracks, and I use bluetooth on my Iphone for my hearing aids. So, just using the basic settings with the programmed pre-sets. It definitely feels "Oriental"...the knobs are a little shaky, but the most challenging thing is finding the "sweet spot" fidelity wise. Volume wise it goes from being too low to blowing out in a hurry. I have the sub woofer down to 3.0 as it's hard to get the right balance of lows and highs. I do not like the way my acoustic/electrics sound through it, too trebly for me. I use an electric guitar. I like the way the vocals sound through it, nice and crisp. All in all, I like the unit, aside from the somewhat shaky components. It's a very sturdy unit and super simple to assemble and break down. I did not have the money for the EV 50M but I believe the more I use the Peavey the more I'll understand it. Quality control could be better though, there is no "chrous" on the unit.
