Page 2: Fcc Caution
FCC CAUTION: This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment. - Page 3 There are two of the threaded pole mounts, one on the top, and one on the right side. The top one can be used with smaller powered speakers such as 10” two-ways or the Peavey® P1 BT™, etc., while the right side mount can accommodate larger speakers with the extended base this provides for stability.

If it does not match, then to change the voltage to the correct one, follow the steps outlined below. Changing the Voltage Range of the PVs 12 Sub First, make sure the PVs 12 Sub is disconnected from the power line, and that the power switch (4) is in the OFF position. - Page 5 This receptacle is for the IEC line cord (normally supplied with the correct pins and wiring for your lo- cale) that provides AC power to the unit. It is very important that you ensure the PVs 12 Sub has the proper AC line voltage supplied.

Rear Panel INPUT (5) The line-level input is of the medium impedance balanced type. The jack is a combo female XLR and 1/4” TRS connector. GROUND LIFT Switch (6) Provided for lifting cable shield from chassis ground, to break potential ground loops and reduce hum. GAIN (7) Controls the gain or output level of the input signal. -

CAUTION! SETTING THIS CONTROL TOO LOW MAY ALLOW THE SATELLITE SPEAKER TO BE OVERLOADED BY DEEP BASS! Setting the control lower DOES NOT increase the deep bass output of the PVs 12 Sub, a middle range (9:30 to 2:30 clock face position) setting works best for most speakers. - Page 8 Placing A Satellite Speaker System On Top Of The PVs 12 Sub The PVs 12 Sub has a threaded pole mount built-in to the top of the unit, and this is designed to mate with an M20 threaded pole of adjustable length. This pole is designed to be used with speaker systems less than 29” high and less than 44 lbs.
- Page 9 Sub mounting plate. The PVs 12 Sub must be placed on firm and level ground, in order for the pole mounted speaker to be safe from tipping. When installing or de-installing the speaker on the pole, it is a good practice to have a helper if possi- ble, it can be hard to “thread the needle”...
- Page 10 The best option is a shielded balanced cable no lon- ger than necessary to reach the PVs 12 Sub. It is usually a good idea to leave some slack at the input to the PVs 12 Sub and also to tape the cables down or run them under a cable guard to avoid anyone tripping over them or pulling the PVs 12 Sub over when it is holding a speaker on top of it’s pole.
- Page 11 (one-half way up recommended to start). It is not good practice to turn the Gain control on the PVs 12 Sub all the way up and then try to control level only from the mixer, this approach would tend to pick up excess noise. Best practice would be to run a “hot”...

Hum or Buzz If the PVs 12 Sub is producing a hum or buzz, this can be AC outlet related. Try plugging the PVs 12 Sub into a different AC outlet. Sometimes, if a different circuit (breaker) is used for the mixer and for the PVs 12 Sub, it can cause hum problems. - Page 15 Touchup For a touch-up of any damage to the black painted finish of the PVs 12 Sub, you can use a black spray paint such as Peavey Commercial Sound, Black Touch-Up Paint, Peavey part number 00052110. Follow the directions on the can for safety and best results.
