When first turning on the sound system, switch on all upstream electronics first, then the PV®115D with its level control fully counterclockwise (all the way down). Begin checking levels with the mixer output level controls all the way down, and bring them up slowly with the PV®115D level control set to the desired setting
Using the SPEAKER OUT jack
The PV®115D has a SPEAKER OUT, a 1 / 4” phone jack output on the rear panel. An external
For best results when using this jack, the external speaker connected to it should be of a similar sensitivity to the PV115D, which has a sensitivity around 95 dB for 1w/1M. If the external speaker has a higher sensitivity, it will play louder than the PV®115D, and make it hard to balance the sound in the room. If the external speaker has a lower sensitivity, then it will play softer than the PV®115D does at any given Level control setting.
Another consideration is to place the external speaker as far away as is practical, to increase the overall coverage of the room, and to minimize the interference patterns that occur when two loudspeakers are near one another and radiating the same signal. Placing the external speaker at least
USE WITH A PASSIVE ADD-ON SUBWOOFER
The PV®118 Sub is in this category, and can be used with this output jack. Normally, the closer to the PV®115D the Sub is placed, the better it will work WITH the PV®115D to increase bass output. Since the PV118 Sub has a
Use of the PV®115D with a powered Subwoofer
Powered subwoofers often have a
Use of the PV®115D with a Speaker Stand
The PV®115D has a stand mount cup on the bottom so that the system can be stand mounted on a standard 1 3/8” (36mm) diameter stand pole.
When using stands or poles, be sure to follow these precautions:
A.Check the stand or pole specs to make sure that it can support the weight of the PV®115D (56 lbs./25.4 kg), and observe all safety precautions stated by the stand manufacturer, including the maximum height the stand is rated for.
B.Always place the stand on a flat, level and stable surface, and be sure to fully extend the stand legs as per the stand manufacturer’s instructions.
C.Try to make sure that the stand legs are oriented for the least danger of tripping to those in the vicinity of the stand. Never block a doorway or hallway with the legs of a stand.
D.Try to route cables so that people will not trip over them or tip the speaker over. Use of duct tape, cable channels or guards, or other appropriate
