Boomy Or Poorly-Defined Bass; Care And Maintenance; Sunlight/Heat; Cleaning - Peavey TriFlex II Operating Manual

excessive additional bass boost or HF boost have been added externally to the TriFlex II, it could cause
™
premature overload at high SPL. Reduce the amount of any external (mixer, rack) EQ and see if that clears up the
distortion.
Finally, realize that even though the TriFlex II is a powerful and high output unit, it does ultimately have limits,
and it may need additional powered units to provide enough sound output or coverage. In this case, try turning
the mixer levels down a little to see if that clears things up.
If, after checking all the things listed to check and anything else you can think of to check safely, and the system
still exhibits problems, carefully note all conditions and check with your Peavey dealer for advice.

BOOMY OR POORLY-DEFINED BASS

The TriFlex II system has had the bass output optimized for the capabilities of the subwoofer cabinet and the
woofer inside it. Bass boost has already been applied to the signal in order to equalize it to a nominally flat
response. If additional bass boost is applied via an external equalizer, or via a mixer's channel EQ controls, or
the Sub Level control (6) has been turned all the way up, the bass could become boomy or distorted, and muddy
the vocals or midrange signal information. If this occurs, reduce or remove the external bass boost, or turn the
Sub Level control (6) down. When the Sub Level control (6) is turned to the 2 o'clock position, it is matched in
level to the mids and highs of the Satellite speakers.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

Your TriFlex II is a sturdy and durable product and will provide years of reliable use if properly cared for. Use
common sense and read the safety warnings to avoid hazardous operating conditions.
The unit must be disconnected from the AC power source before any work is done on it. Refer all servicing to
qualified service personnel.

SUNLIGHT/HEAT

Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, as this may cause the unit to overheat and thermally shut off.
Excessively hot operating conditions can also cause a thermal shutdown.
Do not store in extremely hot or cold conditions or extremely high humidity. Always allow unit to come to room
temperature before use.

CLEANING

Never clean the TriFlex II while plugged in or turned ON! When the unit has been fully disconnected from AC
power sources, use a dry cloth to remove soil or other dirt. Never use strong solvents on the TriFlex II, as they
could damage the cabinet. Do not allow ANY fluids to drip inside the TriFlex II.
TOUCHUP
Black touch-up spray paint, such as Peavey's part number 00052110, can be used to touch-up scrapes or dents
on the cabinet or grille, use a light touch and multiple passes, instead of trying to cover things up all at once.
Be careful not to spray the screened labels on the power amp module or the speakers with the paint. Follow all
instructions on the can, and heed all warnings!
CHECK FOR SECURE HARDWARE
After the first few months of use and periodically thereafter, check the hardware of the TriFlex II System for
tightness, including the rear panel screws and the screws that hold the casters to the Subwoofer cabinet.
The unit is subject to a great deal of vibration, and this could cause them to loosen with use
