User manual PEAVEY TRIFLEX

[. . . ] TriFlex TM Powered Subwoofer and Stereo Satellite System For more information on other great Peavey products, visit your local Peavey dealer or go online to www. peavey. com Intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated "dangerous voltage" within the product's enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to persons. Intended to alert the user of the presence of important operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the literature accompanying the product. CAUTION: Risk of electrical shock -- DO NOT OPEN!CAUTION: To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not remove cover. [. . . ] The XLR plug will provide superior performance, whereas the standard, single-ended 1/4" phone plug will also work and the balanced input circuitry will provide some interference rejection. Plugging into the RCA jacks or plugging a mono 1/4" plug into the combo jack will cause the thru jack to operate in unbalanced mode. If hum or other interference problems result from the thru output, it will be helpful to lift the ground TriFlex input only. This can be accomplished via the convenient ground lift switch (10a) found underneath the input jack group. Always turn the volume controls down before plugging and unplugging cables or switching the ground lift switches. Volume Control Adjustment The TriFlex is equipped with a Master System Level volume control (6). When the Master System Level is adjusted fully clockwise, gain is at maximum and the input sensitivity is 0. 375 VRMS for full-rated output. When this control is set halfway up, gain is unity and 1. 5 VRMS will drive the system to full power output. When driving the TriFlex from a mixer, it may be advantageous to reduce the input sensitivity by turning the volume control to the halfway point. At this setting, the TriFlex will more closely match the output of a mixer and provide an appropriate input of the internal power amp. The amplifiers in the TriFlex are equipped with DDTTM compression. This unit also includes an LED (11) that illuminates when DDT is activated. This LED is located next to the Master System level. The DDT circuit will automatically reduce the system gain to a level just slightly into clipping, guarding the speakers against the overloads. Situations that may activate the DDT circuit include uncontrolled feedback, oscillations, or an improper equipment setting or malfunction upstream from the TriFlex system. Always turn any peripheral units to ON before turning on the TriFlex. Also, make sure the Master SystemLevel is completely down (counterclockwise) before turning the unit on. Likewise, turn the TriFlex system to OFF before shutting down any peripheral units. 7 Adjusting the KOSMOS® Processing Level The amount of KOSMOS processing is dependent upon the input signal level of the TriFlexTM system. In order to achieve more subharmonic processing, turn the QuakeTM Sub Level knob (7a) up. Similarly, the amount of stereo spread is controlled by the Xpanse® level knob (7b). When using the TriFlex with a powered, full-range speaker system from the line-level, high-pass outputs (8), the powered, full-range speakers will usually have their own volume control. This will allow the high frequency level to be set independently. However, the KOSMOS Xpanse control (7b) for adjusting stereo spread can only be adjusted at the TriFlex subwoofer. High-Pass Outputs These are low impedance, high-pass frequency outputs that are provided to send the high frequencies to a powered speaker or to a conventional power amp and a separate speaker system than the TriFlex satellite speakers.
