DESCRIPTION
The Rx ™ 22, referred to as the Radial X
compression driver, is one of the latest advances in
compression driver design and manufacturing for
Peavey Electronics. The Radial X has been designed
to improve driver performance, reliability, increased
power handling, and the linearity of diaphragm
excursion. With over 25 years experience in
compression driver design and manufacturing,
Peavey is proud to introduce the-all new Rx
™ 22
compression driver to its line of speakers.
The Rx22 is engineered for a more transparent
high end, less distortion and overall improvement to
your sound system. If you are planning to upgrade
your system with a Rx22 or purchase a system with
the Rx22, as soon as you hook it up you’ll hear the
difference. You’ll be astonished at the improvement
of the new Rx22 has over older compression driver
technology.
MECHANICS
The Rx22 is designed with a solid one-piece
titanium diaphragm and has received a patent (pat.
num. 6,064,745) for a Radialinear
™ 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. Our research and development team utilized
the latest technological advances in metallurgy,
polymer science and adhesives to bring you the
Rx22 driver.
The new Radialinear ™ 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 high-
temperature composite coil former and edge-wound
copper-clad aluminum ribbon wire for an increase in
the overall motor efficiency. The diaphragm is
