LEVEL
5
Controls the gain (volume) of the Input (4) of the powered speaker system.
CONTOUR SWITCH
6
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" post-level send intended for the use of linking multiple PV
Link Out would connect to the 1/4" connections of the MIC/LINE (4) input of the next PV
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
PV 118D Sub level control to a level that matches that of the output of the PV

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
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
Use extreme care setting the overall maximum loudness!
The apparent sound level of the PV
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
The PV 215D 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
the same extension cord that the PV
Connecting a Signal to the PV
There are a variety of ways to input a signal to the PV
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
