Peavey Classic VTX Series - Scorpion Loudspeakers and Specifications; Loudspeaker Features and Specs; Safety Warnings and Precautions

SCORPION - LOUDSPEAKERS
The Classic® VTX was developed utilizing the latest advances in design technology and state-of-the-art electronics. We therefore felt
it was appropriate that its internal speaker system be just as technologically advanced.
The two 12" Scorpion* transducers employ many of the same innovative design features as our world famous Black Widow*
speakers.
A field replaceable cone/basket assembly, rigid case aluminum frame, and massive magnetic assembly are but a few of the features
that make the Scorpion* ideal for the performer who insists on reliability and performance.
The Scorpion* features high efficiency, high power handling and specially tailored response characteristics. Its unique field
replaceable basket assembly makes the reconing process a thing of the past
