Peavey Triflex II PA System
The sound was pretty decent and easily good enough for multi purpose applications in schools, churches, rehearsals, small cafes or parties.
As a lot of you may be aware, the guys at Peavey not only lend their talents to creating some fine guitar amplifiers, but also extend their catalogue to include instruments and pro audio gear like PA speakers, mixers and power amps. Today we take a look at the 2nd generation Peavey Triflex II PA system, a 1000 watt, 3-piece, 2-channel system perfect for live sound re-enforcement, DJ's and other applications.
The system comprises of 2 x 250 watt mid/high boxes with a 10” woofer and 1.4” tweeter, a 15” 500-watt subwoofer, Peavey DDT compression in-built over the satellite speakers', and a Left and Right input on the back of the amp with gain levels for left, right and sub. The Triflex is very much a plug-in and play PA system that is already tuned and ready to go, lending itself to people that aren't necessarily PA savvy. The two top boxes have a unique carved design that allows them to lock into the sub and move the unit as a whole (with the casters on the back of the sub making the job that much easier). The whole package also comes with 2 x 15 foot speaker cables and a nifty cover that accommodates for cables, pins and stands (not included). To test the Triflex II, I departed out on a trek to Manny's Music in North Fitzroy where I had the chance to put this PA through the motions. I brought along my POD HD 500, Line 6 Variax and Creative Zen MP3 player (yes I realise I'm one of the few people in the music industry to not have an iPod). I began by hooking up my Variax and MP3 player to my HD 500 so I could jam along to some backing tracks in store and act like a rockstar, only to look around and realise I was the only person in the store... Overall, I was fairly pleased with what I was hearing. The Triflex II had a smooth, modern tone that was nothing like the harsh plastic boxes most portable PA's are comprised of, and even with the huge 15” sub cranked the overall sound was remarkably even. I removed the POD and plugged my MP3 player directly into the stereo input, and spun some familiar tunes I'd saved as uncompressed WAV files earlier on my PC. The sound was pretty decent and easily good enough for multi purpose applications in schools, churches, rehearsals, small cafes or parties.
To sum up, the Peavey Triflex II is a decent portable PA system that is good for a number of different applications. It's both sturdy and portable as well being and designed to last.
