Excellent Power Handling and Smooth, Clear Sound

The Peavey Impulse 1012 supplies you with excellent power handling while maintaining a smooth, clear sound. Its 12-inch Black Widow woofer boasts a Kevlar-impregnated cone and custom-treated surround to deliver robust, punchy lows. Its 2-inch RX22N neodymium compression driver produces soaring highs with 3dB more HF output than its predecessor, while its 110 x 80° coverage Quadratic Throat Waveguide ensures excellent dispersion. The Impulse 1012 features an IP46-rated, weather-resistant design, while sturdy Neutrik speakON connectors and Sound Guard high-frequency driver protection ensure solid, reliable performance. This 2-way passive speaker features a rugged high-impact polypropylene trapezoidal enclosure, along with a steel powder-coated grill that offers complete component coverage. The Impulse 1012 can be used on the floor, placed on a speaker stand, flown, or used with Peavey's VM70 Versa-mounts.s.

State-of-the-art transducers

At Sweetwater, we're impressed by the Impulse 1012's top-shelf transducers. Its state-of-the-art Black Widow woofer features a Kevlar-impregnated cone and high-efficiency magnet structure, ensuring top-shelf sensitivity, reliability, and performance. Since the Kevlar is stiffer than paper, it reduces the tendency of the cone to distort the voice coil's shape, avoiding rubs and scrapes. It also provides superior power handling and greater dampening of unwanted cone vibrations. The Impulse 1012's RX22N neodymium compression driver delivers 3dB more HF output than its predecessor, while a 110 x 80° coverage Quadratic Throat Waveguide ensures excellent dispersion.

Reviews

Excellent sound
Do yourself a favor, buy these speakers! Great sound quality of the sp series,but 30 lb per box lighter . Same exact drivers that are the sp series. And yes I've got jbl and some of the other top brands, but for the price point, you can't beat them. Power them up with a crown xli3500 and you'll have a great sound !
