(7)IEC MAINS CONNECTOR

This is a standard IEC power connector. An AC mains cord having the appropriate AC plug and ratings for the intended operating voltage is included in the carton.

U.S. DOMESTIC AC MAINS CORD

The mains cord supplied with the unit is a heavy-duty, three-conductor type with a conventional 120 VAC plug with ground pin. It should be connected to an independent circuit capable of continuously supporting at least 15 amps. This is particularly critical for sustained high-power applications. If the outlet used does not have a ground pin, a suitable grounding adapter should be used and the third wire grounded properly.

Never break off the ground pin on any equipment. It is provided for your safety.

The use of extension cords should be avoided but, if necessary, always use a three-wire type with at least a #14 AWG wire size. The use of lighter wire will severely limit the power capability of this amplifier. Always use a qualified electrician to install any new electrical equipment. To prevent the risk of shock or fire hazard, always be sure that the amplifier and all associated equipment is properly grounded.

NOTE: FOR UK ONLY

If the colors of the wires in the mains lead of this unit do not correspond with the colored markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows: (1) The wire that is colored green and yellow must be connected to the terminal that is marked by the letter E, the earth symbol, colored green, or colored green and yellow. (2) The wire that is colored blue must be connected to the terminal that is marked with the letter N or the color black. (3) The wire that is colored brown must be connected to the terminal that is marked with the letter L or the color red.

(8)BINDING POST OUTPUTS

Shockproof binding post speaker outputs are provided on the PV® amplifier. For each channel, the outputs are in parallel and the speaker connection cables can be terminated with banana plugs or stripped wires for use in the binding post terminals, or can be connected using the Speakon® outputs

(9). For sustained high-power applications, either outputs can be used; however, exercise care to assure the correct speaker phasing. The red binding posts are the signal outputs from each channel, and the black binding posts are chassis ground. The red binding post should be connected to the positive inputs of the associated loudspeakers. For BRIDGE mode operation, only the red binding posts are used and the associated loudspeaker load is connected between the two red posts.

WARNING…Regardless of what connections are used, the minimum parallel speaker load should always be limited to 2 Ohms per channel or 4 Ohms BRIDGE mode for any application. Operation at loads of 4 Ohms per channel, or 8 Ohms BRIDGE mode, is more desirable for sustained operation applications because the amplifier will run much cooler at this loading. Operation above 4 Ohms per channel and even open-circuit conditions can always be considered safe, but sustained operation at loads below 2 Ohms could result in temporary amplifier shut down due to the thermal limit circuitry.

PV Series specifications

Peavey is a well-known name in the music industry, particularly recognized for its range of audio equipment. Within its extensive portfolio, the PV Series stands out as a line of amplifiers and speakers that have earned a reputation for delivering high-quality sound performance and robust build quality. The PV Series is designed to cater to a variety of audio needs, making it an essential choice for musicians, sound engineers, and event organizers alike.

One of the main features of the PV Series is its impressive power handling capacity. The PV amplifiers are built to deliver high wattage output, ensuring that even in large venues, audio enthusiasts receive clear and powerful sound. This capability is complemented by the series' advanced speaker design, which includes high-efficiency drivers and reinforced construction. Whether for live performances, studio applications, or installation in permanent venues, the PV Series maintains clarity and fidelity at both low and high volumes.

Another defining characteristic of the PV Series is its versatility. The range includes powered and passive speakers designed to cater to a wide spectrum of sound reinforcement needs. The powered speakers offer built-in amplifiers, eliminating the need for external power sources, which simplifies setup and transportation. On the other hand, the passive speakers can be paired with various amplifiers to suit specific performance requirements.

Peavey’s unique technologies are also pivotal to the PV Series’ acclaim. The series benefits from proprietary innovations such as the DDT (Dynamic Drive Limiting) technology, which helps prevent distortion by monitoring signal levels in real-time. This ensures that users can push their equipment to the limit without risking damage to their speakers, providing peace of mind during critical performances.

Durability is a hallmark of the PV Series. The enclosures are made from high-quality materials designed to withstand the rigors of travel and use. Features such as reinforced corners, heavy-duty grills, and weather-resistant finishes make these products suitable for both indoor and outdoor use.

Finally, the PV Series offers an appealing price-to-performance ratio, making high-quality audio accessible to a wider range of users. Whether one is a seasoned professional or a budding enthusiast, the Peavey PV Series provides reliable and powerful audio solutions that stand the test of time. With a combination of power, versatility, and durability, it continues to be a preferred choice in various audio environments.
