Advantages: Audio Quality

Disadvantages: They are heavy!

I have already reviewed the Peavey PRO-12 speakers, which, for all purposes are the little brothers of these, the Peavey PRO-15. I will do my best not to make this review a comparison piece but I will apologise in advance if, at times, it seems I am compariong the two.

As with all Peavey products, these are high quality in build, design and audio output. The speaker cabinet is protected by strong black carpet, something which seems to be the norm when discussing professional speakers. The dimensions of these speakers are 25.6" high, 18.1" wide and 15.4" deep. Not huge, you'll agree, but big enough to make an impact wherever you set them up. They are also easy enough to transport providing you have a fair sized car or van. Lets face it, if you're a mobile DJ you really should have one or the other. The speaker itself is protected by a large metal grill which is very strong and ensures your speaker doesn't take any abuse. Weighing in at 22kg it's not exactly light but its easy to carry thanks to the plastic handles which Peavey have thoughtfully built in to either side of the speaker cabinet. The audio inputs on the speakers come in the form of two quarter inch jacks or two speakon connector inputs.

Performance wise, these are great. You get excellent clarity and the music goes very loud indeed. The Pro-15s give you 300 watts rms output which is fairly impressive for this price range (you can get a pair of these for between £250 to £300 so its worth shopping around).

As pA speakers go, you really can't go wrong with a set of Peavey's. These in particular are excellent value.

Summary: Excellent value speakers.
