Rear Panel - Peavey PV 8 Operating Manual

Headphone Level (21)
This knob sets the headphone and control room output levels. To avoid damage to your hearing‚ make sure to
turn the dial fully counterclockwise before using headphones. Slowly turn the knob clockwise until a
comfortable listening level is set. Normally, the signal in the headphones is the Left/Right signal. If the Tape to
Control Room (13) is engaged‚ the tape signal is also included.
LED Meters (22)
Two six-segment LED arrays are provided to monitor the levels of the main Left/Right outputs. These meters
range from -20 dB to +19 dB. 0 dB on the meter corresponds to +4 dBu at the outputs.
Master Level Fader (23)
The Master Fader controls the level sent to the main Left/Right outputs. Best results are obtained when this
control is set near the 0 point.

Mic (XLR) Inputs (24)
XLR balanced inputs optimized for a microphone or other low impedance source. Pin 2 is the positive input.
Because of the wide range of gain adjustment, signal levels up to +14 dBu can be accommodated.
Line ( 1 ⁄ ) Inputs (25)
"
4
1 ⁄ " balanced (TRS) 10 k Ohm impedance input. The tip is the positive input and should be used for unbalanced
4
inputs. It has 20 dB less gain than the XLR input and does not have phantom power available. The Mic and Line
inputs should not be used simultaneously.
Insert (26)
1
⁄ " TRS Connector allows external signal processors to be inserted into the channel signal path. Tip=Send;

Ring=Return; Sleeve=Ground.
Stereo ( 1 ⁄ ) Inputs (27)
4 "
These 1 ⁄ " unbalanced inputs work as a stereo line input using both jacks or as a mono input if the connection is
4
made to the Left/Mono input only. The A/B input selector must be in the "A" position for these jacks to be
active.
RCA Inputs (28)
These RCA inputs work as stereo line inputs. The A/B input selector must be in the "B" position for these jacks
to be active.
A/B Switch (29)
The A/B input selector switch expands the capability of the PV
connected to each stereo line input. Instead of re-patching, the switch selects which input jacks are active.
