Peavey PVs 12 Sub Operating Manual page 3

The Peavey® PVs 12 Sub is a compact vented powered subwoofer system utilizing a 12" heavy-duty woofer, coupled to a
DSP controlled power amplifier with 1,000 watts peak available power. The full-length black perforated steel grille provides
protection and a professional appearance, along with the sturdy steel handles for transport. Two sets of rubber feet allow
for the unit to be placed optionally on it's side, for low profile situations.
Internal line-level crossover with two high-pass outputs, and one full-range thru output. Peavey's new switchable bass
enhancer for extra bass punch from low frequency program material is incorporated for maximum versatility.
A threaded pole-mount system provides a sturdy and stable platform to mount a suitably equipped speaker system above
the sub woofer. 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.
The PA™ two-way powered speaker series are an excellent partner for the PVs 12 Sub.
The PVs 12 Sub speaker system power amplifier providing the power is a low-distortion reliable fan-cooled unit providing
a total of 1,000W peak available power for the system. The power supply for the power amp is a switch mode type for low
weight and high efficiency. The amplifier features DSP processing for the crossover functions, compression and limiting,
and the low-frequency EQ.
Input is via a combo female XLR and 1/4" TRS phone jack with balanced input to the preamp/EQ electronics, and a gain
control.
A pair of High-Pass Outputs in the form of male XLR jacks provides a buffered and balanced output signal for satellite
speakers to carry the high range of the music. A Full-Range Thru output has a male XLR connector. These outputs allow
linking of additional speaker systems, or feed of the signal to other devices, etc.

Applications
The Peavey PVs 12 Sub has a variety of applications such as extending the bass performance of smaller full-range speaker
systems for sound reinforcement, public address, side fill system, karaoke or musical playback.
A typical signal source for the line-level inputs of the Peavey PVs™12 Sub would be a sound reinforcement mixing console
(mixer) or the output from a CD player, MP3 player or tape deck. The high-pass filtered signal from the PVs™12 Sub would
then be sent to a full-range powered speaker system, easing the burden of deep bass from this speaker system.
