OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS 

CAUTIONS 

THRU jacks (8)

These jacks are intended for the use of linking multiple PVXp™ DSP’s in a line or to provide a feed to a powered 

subwoofer, or other electronics that needs to receive a full range version of the input signal.  

LCD Display (9)

Provides a menu read-out manipulated and activated by the Push-To-Select button (10)

Push-To-Select button (10)

Rotary knob that allows the user to select and choose menu options on the LCD display screen (9).  Pushing the 

button in till it detents makes a menu choice.

The unit must be disconnected from the AC power source before any work is done on it.  Refer all servicing to 

qualified service personnel.

The back plate can become hot to the touch.  Do not block or cover the fan or the exhaust louvers from ventila-

tion.  There must be a minimum of 4” of space behind the fan.  Do not allow the airflow to be become blocked 

by objects such as curtains or drapes, thermal building insulation, etc.  It is recommended that the rear of the 

PVXp™ 15 DSP not be placed in a closed space or a space that has no fresh, cool airflow.

Be sure to keep the microphone away from the front of the speaker after connecting it to the input, and while 

setting the microphone level, or very loud feedback will occur!  Damage to the system is likely if this occurs!

DO NOT connect the inputs of the PVXp™ 15 DSP to the output of a power amplifier. The inputs are meant to be 

driven from a line-level strength signal.

DO NOT remove the protective metal grille.

WARNING!

 The PVXp™ 15 DSP is very efficient and powerful! This sound system can permanently damage 

hearing!  Use extreme care setting the overall maximum loudness!

The apparent sound level of the PVXp™ 15 DSP can be deceiving due to its clear, clean sound output. The lack of 

distortion or obvious distress can make the sound level seem much lower than it actually is. This system is capa-

ble of SPL in excess of 128 dB at 1 M from the speaker!

Connecting AC Power To The PVXp™ 15 DSP

The PVXp™ 15 DSP comes with an 6-foot IEC connection AC power cord. If you are using an extension cord 

or power strip with this powered speaker, make sure it is of good quality and of a sufficient current capacity to 

maintain safety and maximize the power output capability of the PVXp™ 15 DSP.  For maximum undistorted 

output, do not connect any other device to the same extension cord that the PVXp™ 15 DSP is connected to.  Do 

not exceed the rated current capacity of the extension cord with the sum total of all units connected to it.

When first plugging in the AC cord, make sure the power switch is in the Off position, and then turn it On only 

once the power cord has been connected.  Built-in muting will engage when the proper sequence of steps is tak-
