[. . . ] 6, 064, 745) for a RadialinearTM phase plug. It also includes an all-new magnet structure, designed with the latest tools in finite element analysis. The Rx22 has more power handling, by as much as 50%, as compared to similar compression drivers. [. . . ] The Rx22 has more power handling, by as much as 50%, as compared to similar compression drivers. Our research and development team utilized the latest technological advances in metallurgy, polymer science and adhesives to bring you the Rx22 driver. The new RadialinearTM phase plug was developed for a smoother, more linear frequency response with less distortion. The radialinear phase plug improves the high frequency response of the Rx22 by focusing the acoustical energy of the diaphragm to a central point within the throat of the horn. By focusing the acoustical energy we have reduced the level of high frequency cancellations and diffraction that are present in most other compression driver designs. The Rx22 incorporates a full two-inch voice coil optimized in part through means of finite element analysis. It is constructed with a new hightemperature composite coil former and edge-wound copper-clad aluminum ribbon wire for an increase in the overall motor efficiency. The diaphragm is DC RESISTANCE: 4. 7 ohms FLUX DENSITY: 17, 500 gauss (1. 75T) POWER CAPACITY 1000 Hz to 20, 000 Hz: 280 watts peak power 140 watts program 70 watts continuous using pink noise band limited from 1000 Hz to 20 kHz (AES 2-1984) DIMENSIONS: 5. 250" (133. 33 mm) diameter x 3. 05" (77. 4 mm) depth HORN COUPLING DIAMETER: 7/8" (22. 2 mm) HORN COUPLING THREADS: Standard 1 3/8" -- 18 POWER CAPACITY 500 Hz to 20, 000 Hz: 240 watts peak power 120 watts program 60 watts continuous using pink noise band limited from 500 Hz to 20 kHz NET WEIGHT: 5 lbs. The special grade of ferrofluid engineered for the Rx22 has been optimized for enhanced sound quality and performance. Every Rx22 driver is subjected to a complete series of computer-control tests designed to ensure total adherence to specifications. INSTALLATION-DIAPHRAGM REPLACEMENT: Female spade lugs (supplied with each Rx22) should be used for connecting the leads from the crossover to the terminals on the Rx22. This will permit rapid field diaphragm replacement in the unlikely event of failure. The Rx22 diaphragm replacement kits are available from Peavey dealers and include complete gap cleaning instructions. (To prevent gap contamination by foreign materials, a failed diaphragm assembly should not be removed before a new diaphragm assembly is ready to be installed. ) APPLICATIONS The Rx22 has been designed and engineered for use with Peavey horns. However, any horn may be used as long as it consists of a standard 1 3/8" ­ 18 standard thread coupling. The Rx22 is an excellent choice for upgrading an older system with minimal expense. DESIGNER NOTES: The Rx22 driver is designed for use between the frequencies of 500 Hz to 20 kHz. However, we have found through years of experience as crossover designers for commercial applications that optimum driver performance can be achieved if the engineer limits the crossover design to 1000 Hz as compared to the 500 Hz lower limit of the driver.

The 1000 Hz limit will greatly improve reliability plus improve the power handling by an extra 15% over the 500 Hz limit. LIMITED WARRANTY: Peavey Model Rx22 compression drivers are warranted to the original purchaser to be free from defects from materials and workmanship 1 year after purchase date. [. . . ]
