Speaker OUT Jack, Input Jack, Level, Contour Switch

4SPEAKER OUT JACK

This jack allows a full-range passive (unpowered) speaker to be connected to the PV®115D internal power amp, as long as it has an impedance rating no lower than 8 ohms, and is of similar sensitivity as the PV115D speaker system. Ideally, this speaker would be the passive model PV115, however, other 8-ohm passive full-range speakers with a nominal sensitivity of around 95 dB can be used. This additional speaker system can help increase coverage of the venue. The volume level of this added speaker is controlled at the same time as the volume of the PV115D, thus the need to use a speaker system with a similar sensitivity.

It can also be used to drive an 8-ohm impedance non-powered subwoofer with a built-in high-frequency roll-off, such as the PV-118 Sub.

5INPUT JACK

The line level input is of the medium impedance balanced type. Jack (5) is a combo female XLR and 1/4” TRS connector, and can be supplied a balanced or unbalanced input signal.

LEVEL

Controls the gain (volume) of the Input (5) of the powered speaker system.

CONTOUR SWITCH

The Contour switch provides a mild boost at the frequency extremes, so that low level playback can be more pleasing. Do not use the Contour switch when playing sound at loud levels, as the boost is not needed then.

9LINK OUT

Link Out is a 1/4” pre-level send intended for the use of linking multiple PV®115D’s in a line. In that case, the Link Out would connect to the 1/4” connections of the MIC/LINE (5) input of the next PV®115D in the line of PV speakers. Individual speakers can be adjusted by their own Level control(6). This output can also be used to drive a nearby powered subwoofer, such as the PV®118D Sub. Set the PV®118D Sub level control to a level that matches that of the output of the PV®115D.

9POWER/CLIP LED

Illuminates GREEN when the electronics receive power (when the Power switch (3) is On). Illuminates RED when amplifier clipping is occurring.

PV115D specifications

The Peavey PV115D is a powerful and versatile active loudspeaker designed for various applications, from live performances to DJ events and public speaking engagements. With its robust construction and innovative features, this speaker offers a professional sound experience tailored to meet the demands of today’s audio environments.

The combination of these components enables the speaker to handle a wide frequency range, making it suitable for diverse musical genres and audio content.

The PV115D is equipped with an onboard 300-watt peak power amplifier, which provides adequate headroom for high-volume applications. This built-in amplification eliminates the need for external amplifiers, simplifying setup and reducing gear complexity. Additionally, the speaker features a built-in EQ with preset configurations, allowing users to tailor the audio output to suit specific environments and preferences.

For connectivity, the PV115D includes multiple input options, such as XLR and 1/4-inch TRS inputs, making it compatible with a wide range of audio sources. The speaker also features a microphone input with dedicated volume control, enabling easy integration into live setups where vocal reinforcement is needed.

Durability is a hallmark of the PV series, and the PV115D is no exception. It is housed in a sturdy, textured polypropylene enclosure designed to withstand the rigors of transport and use in various settings. Moreover, the speaker is equipped with a robust, perforated metal grill that protects the drivers while allowing for optimal sound dispersion.

Another advantageous aspect of the PV115D is its lightweight design, which makes it easier to transport and set up. Its integrated handles enhance portability, allowing users to move it with ease, whether for rehearsals, gigs, or events.

In conclusion, the Peavey PV115D is a feature-rich active loudspeaker that offers exceptional sound quality, efficient performance, and robust construction. With its powerful amplifier, versatile connectivity options, and tailored sound shaping, it stands out as an ideal choice for audio professionals and enthusiasts alike.
