Peavey SSE 10M User manual

Description
The SSE 10M is a new low-profile monitor
enclosure featuring high power ratings with
custom components, a sleek look and a
unique, snap-in metal grille. The SSE 10M is
a full-range, two-way system featuring the
highly acclaimed eavey 14XT titanium
compression driver with the diverse Sound
Guard IV tweeter protection network and a
maximum-performance 10" woofer for a
smooth response. The SSE 10M is rated at
400 Watts program and 800 Watts peak.
This lightweight speaker system may be
placed on stage at angles of either 30˚ or
45˚ and is ideal for smaller venues where
stage space is at a premium. Connections
are made using a four-pin Neutrik®
Speakon®or a paralleled two-position
terminal block for additional cabinets.The
SSE 10M is available in black, white and
natural finishes.

Frequency response
This measurement is useful in determining
how accurately a given unit reproduces an
input signal. The frequency response of the
SSE 10M is measured at a distance of 1
meter using a 1 Watt swept-sine input signal
(into the nominal impedance). As shown in
figure 1, the selected drivers in the SSE 10M
combine to give a smooth frequency
response from 80 Hz to 17 kHz.
Power han ling
There are many different approaches to
power handling ratings. eavey rates this
loudspeaker system's power handling using
a full-range form of the AES Standard 2-
1984. Using audio band 20 Hz to 20 kHz
pink noise with peaks of four times the RMS
level, this strenuous test signal assures the
user that every portion of this system can
withstand today's high technology music.
This rating is contingent upon having a
minimum of 3 dB available amplifier
headroom.
Harmonic istortion
Second and third harmonic distortions vs.
frequency are plotted in figures 3 & 4 for two
power levels: ten percent (10%) of rated
input power and either one percent (1%) of
rated input power or 1 Watt, whichever is
greater. Distortion is read from the graph as
the difference between the fundamental
signal (frequency response) and the desired
harmonic. As an example, a distortion curve
that is down 40 dB from the fundamental is
equivalent to 1% distortion.
