Rotate the “Push-to-Select” knob to choose the amount of boost or cut in 1dB increments from +6 dB down to - 

6dB. these tone changes occur on top of an existing factory EQ preset.

To exit the treble menu, press the “Push-to-Select”, the cursor will then shift back to the “function” side of the 

LCD.

Bass: 

The bass control can be used to boost or cut the low frequency response of the speaker up to +/-6dB. It can 

be used to add bass to a “thin” source or to remove boomy bass from the speakers.

Rotate the “Push-to-Select” knob to choose the amount of boost or cut in 1dB increments from +6 dB down to - 

6dB. these tone changes occur on top of an existing factory EQ preset.

To exit the treble menu, press the “Push-to-Select”, the cursor will then shift back to the “function” side of the 

LCD.

P. Save (Power Save):

 The power save settings are “on” and “off”. In the “off” position, the LCD is illuminated 

at all times. In the “on” position, the LCD is illuminated until the user stops using the controls. The LCD back-

light will turn off about 1 minute after the last on screen change. To turn the backlight back on, simply rotate the 

“Push-to-Select” knob.

Bright: 

Various conditions (like bright sun) or even the position of the speaker can sometimes make the LCD 

difficult to see or read. Two adjustments have been included to improve the visibility of the LCD. The first is a 

brightness adjustment. It varies the brightness of the illuminated characters on the screen. Turning the adjust-

ment clockwise makes it brighter, while turning it counter-clockwise makes the characters dimmer.

 

Contr (Contrast):

 The second adjustment is the contrast. The contrast adjustment can be used to improve the 

viewing angle of the LCD. This may need to be adjusted if the speaker is overhead (like on a pole) or on the floor. 

You may have to try some experimenting with this control to improve the visibility of the LCD.

System Reset:

 Selecting the “System Reset” returns the DSP section to the factory settings. There is a confirma-

tion screen to prevent accidental changes.

System Info:

 Selecting the “System Info” displays the copyright information and firmware version of the operat-

ing system. Push the “push-to-select” knob again to return to the function screen.

TROUBLESHOOTING

No Output at All

First, make sure the unit has AC power and is turned ON.  Make sure the  LCD on the power amp module is 

illuminated. 

If not, make certain the ON/OFF switch (1) is in the ON position and check the IEC power cord connection (3) 

by ensuring it is fully engaged and seated. Make certain the AC line cord is plugged into a working AC outlet.

Finally, check the fuse (2). (See the Rear Panel: FUSE section, for safety instructions.)

Once assured your unit is getting AC power, check that the PVXp™ 15 DSP is getting a signal. Temporarily 

disconnect the cable running to its inputs and connect it to some other device capable of reproducing the signal 

(i.e., a power amp and speaker). If this produces a signal, make sure that all Level controls being used have been 

turned up to a satisfactory level (one-third to halfway).
