Introduction

Thank you for purchasing the powered Peavey® PVX™p 10 Bluetooth® speaker system.  The PVX™p 10 Blue-

tooth® features an reliable bi-amped power section that provides a total of 520 Watts of peak dynamic power 

with DSP based compression and limiting.  Featuring a 10” heavy-duty woofer with a 2 3/8 inch voice coil 

and 50 ounce magnet, and the RX™10 compression driver with a 1 inch titanium diaphragm on a 100 degree 

horizontal x 60 degree vertical pattern asymmetrical horn.  The PVX™p 10 Bluetooth® provides two channels 

with a balanced input via a combination jack that accepts balanced TRS 1/4 inch input as well as a balanced 

XLR input.   A switch is provided to change between line level gain and mic level gain.  A third channel is for a 

Bluetooth® source, or alternatively a 1/8” AUX input jack.  Each channel has an adjustable Level control, and a 

three-band EQ section.  There is a balanced output, a Male XLR, that can feed the mixed signals from the three 

channels out to another component.  A front baffle LED indicator that can be set to light when power is on, and 

when the “soft-limiting” DDT circuit is activated, or turned off altogether.  The LCD display and EQ presets, 

along with other DSP operating parameters are accessed via a one-knob selector.
