The mains plug or appliance coupler is used as the disconnect device, the disconnect device shall remain readily operable.
20. Exposure to extremely high noise levels may cause a permanent hearing loss. Individuals vary considerably in susceptibility to noise-induced hearing loss, but nearly everyone will lose some hearing if exposed to sufficiently intense noise for a sufficient time. The U.S. Government's Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has specified the following permissible noise level exposures:

Duration Per Day In Hours Sound Level dBA, Slow Response

8	90
6	92
4	95
3	97
2	100
	1 1/2	102
1	105
	1/2
		1/4 or less

According to OSHA, any exposure in excess of the above permissible limits could result in some hearing loss. Earplugs or protectors to the ear canals or over the ears must be worn when operating this amplification system in order to prevent a permanent hearing loss, if exposure is in excess of the limits as set forth above. To ensure against potentially dangerous exposure to high sound pressure levels, it is recommended that all persons exposed to equipment capable of producing high sound pressure levels such as this amplification system be protected by hearing protectors while this unit is in operation.

To return your used device, please use the return and collection systems, or contact the retailer where the product was purchased. They can take this product for environmental safe recycling.

This input is for balanced, low impedance microphones. It will automatically provide phantom power (15V) for condenser mics or active direct boxes. This has an input impedance of 1k ohm. The connector is wired as: Pin 1=shield; Pin 2=positive hot; Pin 3=negative cold.

(2) 1/4" LINE/HIGH IMPEDANCE INPUT

This input may be used as either a high impedance microphone input or a line-level device such as a cassette player, CD player, return or radio. This will also allow connection from an electric guitar, bass or keyboard. It is a two-conductor input with an impedance of 10k ohms.

Features

(3) LEVEL CONTROL

The level control for each channel sends the signal to the master mix bus. Typical operation is between 4 and 8 (dependent upon the devices). Please remember that this acts like a preamp, so if you are using a device that has a volume output control (i.e.: a tape or CD player) you will need to do some level matching by adjusting the level controls on each unit.

(4) TONE CONTROL

This is used to adjust the overall tone of the individual inputs. Since it is a cut or boost control (+/-15 dB), it will add or diminish presence frequencies in the sound.

(5) REVERB CONTROL

This is used as a send control to the reverb bus. It controls the amount of reverberation added to the input signals.

(6) MASTER LEVEL

This controls the overall volume level of the entire amplifier. Typical operation is between 4 and 8.

(7) MASTER REVERB

This controls the level of Reverb that is added back to the mix.

(8) TAPE VOLUME

This controls the level of the playback inputs (RCA jacks on rear panel).

(9) MASTER EQ

These are used to adjust the overall EQ of the master mix. Since these cover three frequency bands (+/-15 dB), they will add or diminish the low, mid or high frequencies in the sound.

(10) POWER

This switches the unit on or off. When the unit is powered up, a blue LED will illuminate.

(1) SPEAKER OUTPUTS

These are two-conductor 1/4" speaker outputs. Each one is rated at 8 ohms minimum impedance. Total minimum load for the amplifier is 4 ohms. You may connect either one 4-ohm, one 8-ohm or two 8-ohm speakers. Do not operate below rated minimum impedance. Be sure to use speaker cables and not instrument cables to connect to the speakers.

(2) LINE OUT

This is a 1/4" two-conductor line output. It is used to connect the PVi™4B to an additional power amp or to send a submix to a larger P.A. system. This line-level signal is a mirror image of the main outputs.

(3) TAPE OUT (L/R)

These RCA output jacks are primarily intended for connecting a tape deck, MP3, or other device for the purpose of recording from the mixer. Both channels are summed into mono for compatibility. The signals are taken pre-master section, meaning that they are without reverb or the master tone section, and do not include the Tape-In signal. If you wish to record with the reverb and Tape In signals, use the 1/4" line output (2) with the proper cable.

(4) TAPE IN (L/R)

These RCA jacks are for connecting a cassette deck, CD player or other line-level source.

(5) POWER LINKING CONNECTOR

This is a standard IEC cable connector for use with standard voltages from AC wall outlets. It is grounded and should never have the ground pin removed for any reason. The IEC connector contains an internal fuse holder. The fuse rating is 2.5 amps slow-blow.

WARNING

THE ON/OFF SWITCH IN THIS APPARATUS DOES NOT BREAK BOTH SIDES OF THE MAINS. HAZARDOUS ENERGY MAY BE PRESENT INSIDE THE ENCLOSURE WHEN THE POWER SWITCH IS IN THE OFF POSITION.
