LINK DIRECT OUT IN GND LIFT MIC/LINE LEVEL POWER/CLIP Applications ® The Peavey PR 15D has a variety of applications such as sound reinforcement, public address, side fill system, karaoke or musical playback. With the optional monitor stand kit, the Peavey PR 15D makes an excellent stage monitor. A typical signal source for the line-level inputs of the Peavey PR 15D would be a sound reinforcement mixing console (mixer) or the output from a CD player, iPod player or tape deck. A dynamic micr

O P E R A T I N G I N S T R u C T I O N S 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 heat sink on the back plate can become hot to the touch. Do not block or cover the heat sink from ventilation. Be sure to keep the microphone away from the front of the speaker after switching the mic sensitivity pad to the OUT position and while setting the microphone level, or very loud feedback will

® Connecting AC Power To The PR 15D The PR 15D comes with an 8-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 PR 15D. Do not connect any other device to the same extension cord that the PR 15D is connected to. Special Note for Permanent Installation When installing the PR 15D, AC power runs will

level controls all the way down, and bring them up slowly with the PR 15D volume control set to the desired setting (halfway up recommended to start). Mic/Line Pad Adjustment The mic/line pad (6) provides for the increased gain needed for microphone use into the primary input (5). Use a straightened paperclip or small screwdriver to reach through the hole in the rear panel where the recessed tab is to set its position. Set the Mic/Line Pad to “in,” or the white tab furthest from the panel,

If an extension cord is being used to provide the AC power to the unit, ensure that it is of sufficient current capacity and that it is not also being used to supply power to any other device. The PR 15D has built-in EQ to extend and smooth the natural response of the speakers in the system. Bass boost and HF EQ have been applied and the system has a nominally flat response, so it should require little, if any, additional EQ. If excessive additional bass boost or HF boost have been added ex
