with local codes and regulations. It is also advisable to use a cable clip properly 
affixed to the cabinet to strain relief the IEC power cord connected to the 
amplifier module at (2) so the power cord cannot be pulled out or vibrate loose. 
 

Use of the 

PVX™p 15 Bluetooth® with a Subwoofer Pole Tunnel 

The built-in stand mount cup allows use with the Peavey 

XS™ series Subs and 

the threaded pole that comes with those models. 
Always be sure to place the subwoofer used in this manner on a flat, level and 
stable surface. 
 

Use of the 

PVX™p 15 Bluetooth® with a Speaker Stand 

The 

PVX™p 15 Bluetooth® has a stand mount cup molded-in 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: 
Check the stand or pole specs to make sure that it can support the weight of the 
PVX™p 15 Bluetooth® (50 lbs./22.7kg), and observe all safety precautions 
stated by the stand manufacturer, including the maximum height the stand is 
rated for. 
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. 

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. 
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 tie-down/cover 

up devices should be carefully considered and implemented. 
When installing or de-installing the speaker on the stand, it is a good practice to 
have a helper if possible, it can be hard to “thread the needle” and mate the 
stand cup to the stand pole while holding the 

PVX™p 15 Bluetooth® speaker 

system at arm’s length.  It is also helpful if someone holds the speaker stand and 
pole down while the 

PVX™p 15 Bluetooth® is removed from the stand pole, this 

prevents the 

PVX™p 15 Bluetooth® from pulling the pole up with it. 

When using stands outdoors, never attach banners or flags to the stands or the 
PVX™p 15 Bluetooth® speaker system, strong winds may cause the speaker to 
blow over.   If there is a possibility of windy conditions, then it may be prudent to 
consider weighting or locking down the stand legs to prevent the 

PVX™p 15 

Bluetooth® speaker system from being blown over.    
 

Connecting a Signal to the 

PVX™p 15 

There are a variety of ways to input a signal to the 

PVX™p 15 Bluetooth®. 

The inputs (4a and 4b) provides either a balanced mic- or line-level input, 
allowing the use of a 1/4" TRS (ring-tip-sleeve) type phone plug or a male XLR 
plug.  
 
Do not connect cables to the jacks while the unit is ON and the Level knob is 
turned up!  While a standard single-ended 1/4" phone plug-equipped shielded
