interference rejection, a balanced cable using either the balanced TRS 1/4" 
phone plug or the XLR plug will provide superior interference rejection and 
performance.  
 
Sometimes, with difficult interference problems, it will be helpful to lift the shield 
ground ( Pin #1 of an XLR) of a balanced cable at the 

PVX™p 10 Bluetooth® 

end.  Check any input changes carefully, always turning the Level control down 
before plugging and unplugging cables, or lifting the ground. 
 
Use of high quality, premium cables is recommended for the 

PVX™p 10 

Bluetooth®, as these usually have better shielding and materials and will provide 
greater long-term reliability. The best option is a shielded balanced cable no 
longer than necessary to reach the 

PVX™p 10 Bluetooth®.  It is usually a good 

idea to leave some slack at the input to the 

PVX™p 10 Bluetooth® and also to 

tape the cables down or run them under a cable guard to avoid anyone tripping 
over them or pulling the 

PVX™p 10 Bluetooth® over when stand mounted. 

 

Level Control Adjustment 

The 

PVX™p 10 Bluetooth® is equipped with a Level controls (5a, b and c)) on 

the inputs to facilitate use in many different applications.  With the Rear Panel 
Level control adjusted fully clockwise, and the DSP Master Gain at +10 dB, and 
the DSP Channel Gain at nominal (0 dB), the gain is such that the input 
sensitivity is 0.50 V RMS for full-rated output with the Combo  jack.  There is still 
10 dB more gain available in the individual DSP Channel inputs, which makes the 
sensitivity with all DSP channel sliders full up, the DSP Master Gain full up, and 
the Level control full CW, approximately 0.16 V RMS. 
If the 

PVX™p 10 Bluetooth® has been Factory Reset, or the App control turned 

OFF, then the default gain for the DSP Master Gain is set to 0 dB. 
This results in a sensitivity of 1.58 V RMS with the Rear Panel Level control 
adjusted fully clockwise, and the DSP Channel Gain at default (0 dB). 
 
We recommend the following gain structure for the 

PVX™p 10 Bluetooth® 

speaker system: 
Rear Panel Level control starting out at straight up 
DSP Master Gain at +10 dB 
DSP Channel Gain at 0 dB 
This results in a sensitivity of 1.58 V RMS for full power output. 
 
When driving the 

PVX™p 10 Bluetooth® from a mixer, it may be advantageous 

to reduce the input sensitivity by turning the Level control to the halfway point.  
The 

PVX™p 10 Bluetooth® will now more closely match a typical power amp. 

 
If the mixing board indicates clipping of its output signals, then all of the 

PVX™p 

10 Bluetooth® power capability is not being utilized cleanly.  Clipping the signal 
before it gets to the 

PVX™p 10 Bluetooth® is not optimal.  Reduce the mixer 

output level and turn up the Level control on the 

PVX™p 10 Bluetooth®.
