The DSP processing uses 56 bit double-precision to insure accurate and transparent sound processing, and the input/output sections use a 48 kHz sam- pling rate at 24 bits for maximum fidelity. Low-jitter clocking and professional grade components insure the sound quality is superb.

    BT LEVEL (11) Controls the gain or output level of the input signal from the Bluetooth® signal feed. It is used to directly set the system output level for a given Bluetooth® input signal. SIG LED (12) Illuminates green when a signal source is present at either the analog input jack (6), or the Bluetooth® signal source.
  • Page 9 Cautions The unit must be disconnected from the AC power source before any work is done on it. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. The back plate can become hot to the touch. Do not block or cover the fan or the exhaust louvers from ventila- tion.
  • Page 10 When installing or de-installing the speaker on the stand, it is a good practice to have a helper if possible, it can be hard to “thread the needle” and mate the stand cup to the stand pole while holding the AQ™12 speaker system at arm’s length.
  • Page 11 1. Press mode button (10) on the back of the speaker to make the speaker discoverable. The pairing LED should start blinking. 2. Go to your devices Bluetooth® screen and select the available Peavey speaker. Once paired, the pairing LED should light continuously.
  • Page 12 Disconnecting AC Power to the AQ™12 We recommend that the Power switch (3) be used to turn the unit off first, and then the AC power cord can be removed, this minimizes stress to the power amplifiers and the transducers from turn-off transients. The pow- er switch has an arc suppression capacitor to help during turn-off, and tends to make a clean disconnect from the AC power, while the power cord IEC connector can make intermittent contact before finally becoming fully disconnected, e.g., as when wiggling the cord.
