The modules looked like little silver cans, but these cans were tweaked for specific systems and made setup easier as they handled crossover and basic corrective EQ for the cabs.
Those are old cabs and need to be driven carefully. They won't take as much power as some newer amps can put it, but they can very loud on not a lot of power. Oh, post pics of those cabs! I'd love to see 'em. My first band bought a set of these. I remember riding home in the back of a borrowed pickup picking the cat hair out of my mouth Never could keep the hf diaphrams from blowing.
Once we upgraded to p's the bass player used one of the fh1's for his bass rig The good ol' days weren't all that good actually. That depends on your perspective! Unfortunately there just doesn't seem to be anything commercially made thats as good overall Quality and quantity of sound,flexibility,portability and price as The Peavey Project 2 for the working musician!
I actually found this forum while looking for plans for Project 2 's. I am still looking for good plans BTW! You might want to get out and see what's available. Quality of sound and portability were not their high points by any stretch of the imagination.
They made loud noise and lots of it. Yeah nothing says portable like over pounds a stack. Not counting the amps. I had some Fh-1s and the MF-1s back in the day. I remember stuffing a bar napkin behind the metal nameplate on the sub to keep it from rattling. Unfortunately what I had was not Project 2s. I had a pair of SP-1s. They lacked the MB2 mid bass cabinets. The main trick with SP-1s was not to run them below 60hz. I'd say Andy Aged Horse knows more about any setup both you and I know on his little finger nail.
No need to check them out, I serviced plenty of them in the "good 'ol days" and compared with what's available now there is no contest at all regarding sound quality. The mid level stuff today stomps on that stuff in sound quality. Just stomps. For multiple grand more you can get close to what you could do with a pair of Project-2s and some good subs. By the time you add in ALL the extra cabinets and power amps your no longer more compact or lighter,and your electric bill went up dramatically!
I also have a Question for You Aged Horse. Were you dealing with early models? Early SP-1s and to my knowledge all Lascalas of that era lacked this feature. As to the potential for a re-issue of a modernized version from Peavey, we can always hope. After all Klipsch already has put Lascalas back into production. They are an improved version too! The feature a 15 inch LF driver Like the Peaveys did as opposed to the old 12s that originally came with Lascalas.
I rather have Yamaha clubs with a pair of 18s then the Peavey any day. We all get attached to our old gear but sometimes it's better off to cut the cord. BJM, whily you might have an unnatural fondness for those speakers, there were plenty of speakers that were both more efficient as well as better sounding back then. You also feel free to insult me personally without knowing anything about me, or the products I have designed over the last 30 years in this industry I know a lot more about those speakers than you assume I do.
The bumped backplate had nothing to do with sound quality or efficiency either Bumping the plate increased X-mech to reduce warranty claims, that was the sole reason. You might look at some of the earlier cinema and stadium products by the pro manufacturers of the era, those designs were responsible for the majority of high efficiency technology as well as rudimentary LF pattern control.
A single pair of SRX's and 's would stomp the Projects in maximum SPL, distortion, flatness of frequency response, off-axis uniformity, high frequency response, size, weight, packaging, etc. It's not even close. Darn them pesky sinewaves! The oldest ones were particularly awful, and the original 22 diaphgram was heavy and the HF response was all over the map.
They were also MUCH cheaper to manufacture. Paste as plain text instead. Only 75 emoji are allowed. Display as a link instead. Clear editor. Upload or insert images from URL. Peavey MB2 plan??
