Green Signal LED and Red Clip LED (17)

The green Signal LED and red Clip LED are used to set the operating input level to the PV®10 and PV®14 effects processors. The signal level to the processor is affected by channel fader, the effects send and the effects send master controls. Start with the master control set to 0 (12 o'clock) and adjust the channel sends so that the signal LED lights and the clip LED blinks on occasionally, if at all. The clip LED lights 6 db below clipping. Pressing the EFX defeat mutes the effects signal and lights the clip/mute LED.

EFX Return (18)

Once the input level is set (see 17) use the EFX return control to mix the effects processor output into the main left/right outputs. Remember, a little reverb goes a long way.

MON Send Master (19)

This is the master output level control for the monitor mix. The output level sent to the Monitor Send jack (36) is controlled by the channel monitor send controls (6) and by this master control.

EFX Send Master (20)

This is the master output level control for the EFX mix. The output

 

level sent to the EFX Send jack and the internal effects processor is

 

controlled by the channel level controls (12), the channel EFX send

controls (7) and by this master control. The 0 position is the

 

recommended setting for this control.

Phantom Power LED (24)

This LED lights when the Phantom Power Switch (25) has been engaged.

Phantom Power Switch (25)

Applies +48 VDC voltage to the input XLR connectors to power microphones requiring phantom power.

If phantom power is used, do not connect unbalanced dynamic microphones or other devices to the XLR inputs.

Tape To CTRL/HP (26)

Depressing this switch adds the tape return to the Control Room (38) and Headphone Outputs (40) for zero latency monitoring.

Tape to Mix (27)

Depressing this switch routes the signal from the Tape Inputs (13) to the Main Outputs (39).

PV 10, PV 14 specifications

The Peavey PV 14 and PV 10 mixers are versatile and reliable audio mixing solutions tailored for musicians, sound engineers, and event organizers. Known for their robustness and intuitive design, these mixers are ideal for live sound, studio recordings, and other audio applications.

The PV 14 is a 14-channel mixer, offering a combination of XLR and line inputs that make it suitable for a variety of audio sources. It features 8 low-noise microphone preamps, which provide a transparent and clear sound, essential for vocal and instrument capture. Additionally, it includes 4 stereo channels, expanding its capacity for media players and other stereo sources.

On the other hand, the PV 10 offers 10 channels, making it a more compact solution while still retaining essential features. It includes 4 microphone inputs, 2 stereo line inputs, and offers flexibility for smaller setups or personal use.

Both mixers boast a range of powerful features, such as 3-band EQ and auxiliary sends, allowing users to customize their sound and manage effects for each channel. The built-in digital effects processor enhances the output, featuring multiple reverb, delay, and modulation effects that can be easily adjusted.

One of the key technologies found in the PV series is the patented Peavey MID-MAX EQ. This unique equalization system allows for precise frequency adjustments, making it easier to tackle challenging audio environments. The mixers also include high-quality headphone outputs and speaker outputs, enhancing their utility for monitoring and performance.

The construction of both the PV 14 and PV 10 is robust, designed for the rigors of live performances. With a durable chassis and high-quality components, they can withstand the demanding conditions of touring and regular use.
