User manual PEAVEY PR 15P

[. . . ] PRTM 15P Powered bi-amplified two-way speaker system · Operations Manual For more information on other great Peavey products, go to your local Peavey dealer or online at 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. [. . . ] It is also advisable to use a cable clip properly affixed to the cabinet to strain relief the IEC power cord connected to the amplifier module at (2) so the power cord cannot be pulled out or vibrate loose. Use of PR 15P with a Subwoofer The built-in pole adapter allows use with the Peavey SP Subcompact 18X and the accessory pole that it is designed to use, Peavey part #00326540. The pole used is 36-3/16" long and has a nominal diameter of 1-3/8". Getting a Signal to the PR 15P There are a variety of ways to input a signal to the PR 15P. The primary input (5) provides either a balanced mic- or line-level input, allowing the use of a 1/4" phone plug, either a standard single-ended (tip-sleeve) plug or a balanced TRS (tip-ring-sleeve) type plug OR a male XLR plug. Then there are two line-level unbalanced 1/4" phone jacks that can be mixed in with the primary input. Do not connect cables to the jacks while the unit is ON and the Volume is turned up!While a standard single-ended 1/4" phone plug-equipped cable will work well and the balanced input circuitry of the primary input (5) will provide some interference rejection, a balanced cable using either the balanced TRS 1/4" phone plug or the XLR plug will provide superior interference rejection and performance. Sometimes, with difficult interference problems, it will be helpful to lift the shield ground on a balanced cable at the PR 15P end only. Check any input changes carefully, always turning the volume control down before plugging and unplugging cables. Use of high quality, premium cables is recommended for the PR 15P, as these usually have better shielding and materials and will provide greater long-term reliability. It is usually a good idea to leave some slack at the input to the PR 15P and also to tape the cables down or run them under a cable guard to avoid anyone tripping over them or pulling the PR 15P over when stand mounted. Volume Control Adjustment The PR 15P is equipped with a volume control to facilitate use in many different applications. With the volume control adjusted fully clockwise, gain is at maximum and the input sensitivity is 0. 375 V RMS for full-rated output. When driving the PR 15P from a mixer, it may be advantageous to reduce the input sensitivity by turning the volume control to the halfway point. The PR 15P will now more closely match a typical power amp. If the mixing board indicates clipping of its output signals, then all of the PR 15P power capability is not being utilized cleanly. Clipping the signal before it gets to the PR 15P is not optimal. In that case, reduce the mixer output level and turn up the volume control on the PR 15P. The amplifiers in the PR 15P are equipped with DDTTM and an LED indicator to show that DDTTM has engaged. If the sound seems heavily compressed, check this indicator; and if it is blinking RED more than occasionally, then the drive level from the mixer (or the volume control on the PR 15P) needs to be reduced. 8 When first turning on the sound system, switch on all upstream electronics first, then the PRTM15P with its volume control fully counterclockwise (all the way down). Begin checking levels with the mixer output level controls all the way down, and bring them up slowly with the PR 15P volume control set to the desired setting (halfway up recommended to start). Mic/Line Pad Adjustment The mic/line pad (6) provides for the increased gain needed for microphone use into the primary input (5). Use a straightened paperclip or small screwdriver to reach through the hole in the rear panel where the recessed tab is to set its position. Set the Mic/Line Pad to "in, " or the white tab furthest from the panel, for line-level signal use, and set it "out, " or closest to the panel, for mic-level use. The unit is shipped with the tab in the line-level position. [. . . ] Mounting: Subwoofer pole-mounting via moldedin mount, flying via VersamountTM 70 and four rubber feet for floor use.
