Loudspeaker System Specifications 

_ PAGE _1_ 

The 

XS™12 Sub 

speaker system power amplifier providing the power is a low-

distortion reliable fan-cooled unit providing a total of 1,000W peak available 

power for the system.  The power supply for the power amp is a switch mode 

type for low weight and high efficiency.  The amplifier features DSP processing 

for the crossover functions, compression and limiting, and the low-frequency EQ. 

 

Input is via a combo female XLR and 1/4” TRS phone jack with balanced input to 

the preamp/EQ electronics, and a gain control.   

A pair of High-Pass Outputs in the form of male XLR jacks provides a buffered 

and balanced output signal for satellite speakers to carry the high range of the 

music.  A Full-Range Thru output has a male XLR connector.  These outputs 

allow linking of additional speaker systems, or feed of the signal to other devices, 

etc.   

 

Applications 

The Peavey 

XS™12 Sub 

has a variety of applications such as extending the 

bass performance of smaller full-range speaker systems for sound 

reinforcement, public address, side fill system, karaoke or musical playback.  

A typical signal source for the line-level inputs of the Peavey 

XS™12 Sub 

would 

be a sound reinforcement mixing console (mixer) or the output from a CD player, 

MP3 player or tape deck.  The high-pass filtered signal from the 

XS™12 Sub 

would then be sent to a full-range powered speaker system, easing the burden of 

deep bass from this speaker system.

 VOLTAGE SELECTOR SWITCH (1)

The AQ™12 has a voltage selector switch to allow switching between an input power voltage of 120VAC to a 

range from 220VAC to 240VAC, all at either 50 or 60 cycles per second (Hz).  It should be set to the proper volt-

age for your country out of the box.  However, world conditions are such that some areas have power line voltag-

es differing from the voltage used by the majority of any given locale.  

Be sure to check the position of the voltage selector switch to see that it matches the power line voltage used 

locally.  If it does not match, then to change the voltage to the correct one, follow the steps outlined below.

Changing the Voltage Range of the AQ™12

First, make sure the AQ™12 is disconnected from the power line, and that the power switch (3) is in the OFF 

position.

Second, unscrew the screws holding the clear switch protector on the voltage selector switch (1) just a little, just 

enough to allow rotation of the clear switch protector.  The screws DO NOT need to be unscrewed very far.

Third, rotate the clear plastic protector about 90 degrees to uncover the voltage selector switch.  One side of the 

cover has a slot, the other just a hole, the side with the hole is the side that pivots.

Fourth, using a small flat blade screwdriver, push the red selector switch slide plate to the other side from where 

it was.   The voltage that is now visible on the red slide plate is the one you have selected.

Fifth, rotate the clear plastic protector back underneath the loosened screws, and tighten one down while hold-

ing the clear plastic protector in place.  Tighten the other screw down, and make sure both screws are tight.

If the screws are over-tightened, this could damage the voltage selector switch clear plastic cover, so do not apply 

excessive force to the screws!

The IEC power cord that is correct for your locale can now be plugged into the IEC receptacle (2), and the Power
