This panel is to be removed ONLY when installing one of a variety of Optional Expansion Modules that will be 
available soon for the PVXp 15.

These Optional Expansion Modules will either work in conjunction with the input already present on the PVXp 15, or 
provide an in-line function for the input, such as a 10-band EQ, etc.  Check with your Peavey

®

 dealer for availability 

and price.

If you are not installing such an optional Expansion Module, then do not remove this cover. Instructions for installing 
an optional expansion module will come with each expansion module and will be specific for that module.

inpUt (4)  

The line-level input is of the medium impedance balanced type.  The jack is a combo female XLR and 1/4" TRS 
connector.

SPECIAL NOTE!

  The normal input for line level is the

 ¼

” TRS jack. It has reduced gain compared to the XLR 

input, which has enough gain for a high-output microphone to be used with the Level control.  Sensitivity of the 

¼

” TRS jack is 0.54 volts for full output, and 0.12 volts for the XLR jack.  

LeD (5)

Illuminates green when the power switch is On and power is present. It turns red when either of the power 
amps engages the DDT

 “soft limiting” circuitry.

LeVeL (6)

Controls the gain or output level of the input signal. It is used to directly set the system output level for a given 
input channel input signal.

contoUr (7)

The Contour switch provides a mild boost at the frequency extremes, so that low-level playback can be more 
pleasing.  Do not use the Contour switch when playing sound at loud levels, as the boost is not needed then.
