tHrU jAcKs (8 & 9)
These jacks are intended for the use of linking multiple PVXp 12 enclosures 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. The
connectors available are a male XLR jack (8), and a 1/4" TRS phone jack (9).

cAUtions:
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
ventilation. 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 12 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 12 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 grilles.
WARNING! The PVXp 12 is very efficient and powerful! This sound system can permanently damage hearing!
Use extreme care when setting the overall maximum loudness!
The apparent sound level of the PVXp 12 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
capable of SPLs in excess of 127 dB at 1 M from the speaker!

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION FOR THE MOUNTING AND FLYING OF THE PEAVEY PVXp 12
CAUTION: Before attempting to suspend this speaker, consult a certified structural engineer. Speaker can
fall from improper suspension, resulting in serious injury and property damage. Other enclosures may NOT
be suspended below one, nor should additional weight be suspended from one of these units. Use only the
correct mating hardware. All associated rigging is the responsibility of others.
Maximum enclosure angle from vertical hang is 30 degrees.
Always use a suitable safety chain or wire rope, attached to an unused group of fly points or to the cabinet as
directed by a certified structural engineer, and firmly attached to a suitable structural member as indicated by a
certified structural engineer.
The recommended range of torque for the mounting bolts is 3.5 to 4.0 foot-lbs. (4.75 to 5.42 N-m). DO NOT
OVERTIGHTEN! If an insert spins free, it has been damaged, and the cabinet can not be safely flown from that
set of inserts!
Never transport the cabinet while mounted on an array bracket or other mounting bracket, as this may unduly
stress the mounting inserts.
The use of threadlocker (blue type/medium strength) on the mounting bolts is recommended, as are the
appropriate lock washers, to ensure that the mounting hardware will not vibrate loose over time.
