Cerwin Vega P-Series Portable Powered Loudspeakers Unveiled in NYC, LA
The right way to roll out a new live sound speaker is with a real live event, right?
Manufacturer Cerwin-Vega!, long known for its home audio systems, held parties on both coasts recently to show off their new P-Series Professional PA System. The P-Series offers two different active speakers, the P1500X (MSRP: $1199) and the P1800SX subwoofer (MSRP: $1499).
DJ Premier is flanked by the Dirty Pearls at the Gibson Guitar Showroom in NYC.
In NYC, no less than DJ Premier and rockers The Dirty Pearls were on hand at the Gibson Guitar Showroom to ring in the new system, while in LA, DJ Serafin and DJ Young1 were the featured entertainment. Both parties gave a great indication of the versatility, range, and musicality of these powered speakers.

“Cerwin-Vega! introduces its new P-Series professional PA system, which delivers a new standard in power and bass punch, suited for any sound reinforcement application, from live performances to public speeches. The P-Series family includes two active speaker products: the P1500X and the P1800SX.
The heart of the P-Series is the P1500X, a two-way, bi-amped, full-range bass-reflex speaker. It employs a 15-inch woofer and high-frequency compression driver, powered by a custom Class-D amp. With a rating of 1500W, the P1500X is the most powerful PA product in its price class. A proprietary hemi-conical horn provides enhanced sound clarity over an even and wide coverage area. A built-in mixer with I/O connections allows for simple and fast setup, while enhanced EQ, VEGA BASS boost and high-pass filters enable exact tuning and exceptional performance for any event. The P1500X is a versatile product that can be used as a single speaker for a small venue, set in pairs for a larger venue needing more coverage and SPL, or side mounted as a floor monitor for a band.
The P1500X’s lightweight, robust polymer enclosure includes a two position pole cup with an adjustable mounting point, as well as comfortable ergonomic handles. These features provide users with versatility and comfort. Built-in rigging points and remote volume port make the P1500X ideal for suspended installation.
The muscle of the P-Series is the P1800SX, a powered subwoofer, employing an 18-inch woofer with a custom 2000W Class-D amp. The large woofer and amplifier are enclosed in a hardwood cabinet, the combination of which provides a high level of bass punch and extreme low end response, both Cerwin-Vega! trademarks. Like the P1500X, the P1800SX has frequency-shaping controls, a VEGA BASS boost, and a high-pass filter switch (as a built-in crossover). This ensures that the user has the right amount of bass for a particular venue. While designed for use with the P1500X, the P1800SX can be used for bottom-end extension with competitive products. Additionally, the THRU and MIX output options allow for system expandability and fast daisy-chain connections between components.”
