Loudspeaker System Specifications
No Output at All
First, make sure the unit has AC power and is turned ON. Make sure the LED
on the power amp module is illuminated.
If not, make certain the ON/OFF switch (3) is in the ON position and check the
IEC power cord connection (2) by ensuring it is fully engaged and seated. Make
certain the AC line cord is plugged into a working AC outlet.
Finally, check the fuse (1). (See the Rear Panel: Fuse section, for safety
instructions.)
Once assured your unit is getting AC power, check that the PVX™p 15 is getting
a signal. Temporarily disconnect the cable running to its inputs and connect it to
some other device capable of reproducing the signal (i.e., a power amp and
speaker). If this produces a signal, make sure that all Level controls being used
have been turned up to a satisfactory level (one-third to halfway).
If the PVX™p 15 Bluetooth® has been subjected to direct sunlight or excessive
heat, the built-in thermal protection may have been triggered. If so, turn off the
PVX™p 15 and let it cool for a sufficient amount of time.
Try doing a system Restore, as described above in the DSP operating section,
this will return the unit to it's Factory Defaults, and reset all the controls to a
nominal setting, allowing the gain and frequency response to return to "normal".
If there is still no output, contact your authorized Peavey dealer or the Peavey
International Service Center.
Hum or Buzz
If the PVX™p 15 Bluetooth® is producing a hum or buzz, this can be AC outlet
related. Try plugging the PVX™p 15 Bluetooth® into a different AC outlet.
Sometimes, if a different circuit (breaker) is used for the mixer and for the
PVX™p 15 Bluetooth®, it can cause hum problems. Unless it is not practical, it
is best to use the same wall outlet (breaker) to supply power to both the mixer
and the powered speaker.
Ensure that shielded cables have been used to route the signal to the PVX™p
15's input. If speaker cables with 1/4" plugs are used as input cables instead of
shielded cables, they will be prone to hum or buzz.
Hum may be ground loop related. It may be helpful to lift the shield ground (Pin
#1) on a balanced cable at the PVX™p 15 Bluetooth® end. Check any input
changes carefully by first turning down the Level control, before plugging and
unplugging cables, or lifting the shield ground at the speaker end.
Check to make sure light dimmers are not on the same circuit as the PVX™p 15
Bluetooth®, the mixer or any source devices. If light dimmers are used, then it
