OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
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 ventilation. There must be a minimum of 4” of space
behind the fan. Do not allow the airflow to be become blocked by objects such
as curtains or drapes, thermal building insulation, etc. It is recommended that
the rear of the
PVX™p 10 Bluetooth®
not be placed in a closed space or a
space that has no fresh, cool airflow.
Be sure to keep the microphone away from the front of the speaker after
connecting it to the input, and while setting the microphone level, or very loud
feedback will occur! Damage to the system is likely if this occurs!

DO NOT connect the inputs of the
PVX™p 12 Bluetooth®
to the output
of a power amplifier. The inputs are meant to be driven from a line-level strength
signal.
DO NOT remove the protective metal grilles.
WARNING!
The
PVX™p 12 Bluetooth®
is very efficient and powerful! This
sound system can permanently damage hearing! Use extreme care setting the
overall maximum loudness!
The apparent sound level of the
PVX™p 12 Bluetooth®
can be deceiving due to
its clear, clean sound output. The lack of distortion or obvious distress can make
the sound level seem much lower than it actually is. This system is capable of
SPL in excess of 127 dB at 1 M from the speaker!
Flying the PVXp™12
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION FOR THE MOUNTING AND FLYING OF
THE PEAVEY
PVX™p 12
CAUTION: Before attempting to suspend this speaker, consult a certified
structural engineer. Speaker can fall from improper suspension, resulting in
serious injury and property damage. Other enclosures may NOT be suspended
below one, nor should additional weight be suspended from one of these units.
Use only the correct mating hardware. All associated rigging is the responsibility
of others.
Maximum enclosure angle from vertical hang is 30 degrees.
Always use a suitable safety chain or wire rope, attached to an unused group of
fly points or to the cabinet as directed by a certified structural engineer, and
firmly attached to a suitable structural member as indicated by a certified
structural engineer.
The recommended range of torque for the mounting bolts is 3.5 to 4.0 foot-lbs.
(4.75 to 5.42 N-m).
DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN !
If an insert spins free, it has
been damaged, and the cabinet can not be safely flown from that set of inserts!
Never transport the cabinet while mounted on an array bracket or other mounting
bracket, this may unduly stress the mounting inserts.
The use of threadlocker (blue type/medium strength) on the mounting bolts is
recommended, as are the appropriate lockwashers, to insure that the mounting
hardware will not vibrate loose over time.
