6 CONTOUR SWITCH
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.
LINK OUT
7
Link Out is a 1/4" pre-level send intended for the use of linking multiple PV
case, the Link Out would connect to the 1/4" connections of the MIC/LINE (4) input of the next PV 2015D in the
line of PV speakers. Individual speakers can be adjusted by their own Level control(5). This output can also be
used to drive a nearby powered subwoofer, such as the PV 118D Sub. Set the PV 118D Sub level control to a level
that matches that of the output of the PV 2015D.
POWER/CLIP LED
8
Illuminates GREEN when the electronics receive power (when the Power switch (3) is ON). Illuminates RED when
amplifier clipping is occurring.
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.
NOTE: This unit is not designed for overhead suspension!
The heat sink on the back plate can become hot to the touch. Do not block or cover the heat sink from
ventilation.
DO NOT connect the inputs of the PV 2015D to the output of a power amplifier. The inputs are meant to be driven
from a line-level strength signal.
When connecting a microphone to the system, be sure to keep the microphone away from the front of the
speaker while setting the microphone level, or very loud feedback will occur! Damage to the system is likely if
this occurs!
DO NOT remove the protective metal grille.
WARNING: The PV 2015D 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 PV 2015D 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 SPL in excess of 127 dB at 1 meter from the speaker!
Connecting AC Power To The PV 2015D
The PV 2015D comes with a 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 PV 2015D. Do not connect any other device to the same
extension cord that the PV 2015D is connected to.
Connecting a Signal to the PV 2015D
There are a variety of ways to input a signal to the PV 2015D. The input jack (4) provides a balanced line-level
input, allowing the use of a 1/4" phone plug, either a standard single-ended (tip-sleeve) plug or a balanced TRS
(ring-tip-sleeve) type plug, OR a male XLR plug.
Do not connect cables to the jacks while the unit is ON and the Level is turned up!
While a standard shielded, single-ended 1/4" phone plug-equipped cable will work well and the balanced input
circuitry of the input jack (4) will provide some interference rejection, a balanced cable using either the balanced
TRS 1/4" phone plug or the XLR plug will provide superior interference rejection and performance. Sometimes,
with difficult interference problems, it will be helpful to lift the shield ground on a balanced cable at the PV
2015D end. Check any input changes carefully, always turning the volume control down before plugging and
unplugging cables, or making grounding changes.
