The PV 1015D is capable of generating peak SPL up to 121 dB. The enclosure utilizes a Peavey 15” Sheffield woofer for the lows and an RX14 titanium diaphragm dynamic compression driver for the highs. This high-performance driver is mounted on a Peavey patented asymmetrical Quadratic Throat Waveguide, covered under U.S. patent #6,059,069 with smooth, even response, low distortion and good high-frequency dispersion. This waveguide has an asymmetrical vertical polar response, aiming the main energy lobe down 10°, so it is aimed at the audience, instead of over their heads, helping reduce ceiling reflections for greater clarity and gain before feedback. The constant directivity characteristics provide the consistent coverage needed for a successful sound reinforcement application. The lightweight-yet-rugged, carpet-covered trapezoidal enclosure with stand-mount cup facilitates portable use for live music or P.A. sound. The trapezoidal cabinet has steel handles on either side for ease of portability, and four rubber feet for floor use, while a stand-mount adapter on the bottom allows for easy speaker stand mounting. Black steel corners provide road protection to the cabinet. A black full-length powder-coated perforated steel grille provides driver protection and a professional appearance. The PV 1015D speaker system includes an internal Class-D power amp to drive its own speakers, as well as an amplifier output jack to drive another (passive) loudspeaker system. It supplies up to 400 watts peak available power to the internal speakers, and up to 400 watts peak available power to an external 8-ohm speaker system, for a total of 800 watts peak available power. The amplifier is equipped with DDT compression, providing protection from excessive amplifier clipping and the consequent distortion. A balanced input to the preamp/EQ electronics consists of one combination female XLR and 1/4” TRS phone jack. A Contour switch provides some bass and treble lift when used as a background music source, etc. A Link Out 1/4” phone jack provides a pre-level send for linking multiple units together.B O T T O M p a n e l Applications Aside from its primary use as a sound reinforcement system, the Peavey

1015D has a variety of applications such as public address, side fill system, karaoke or music playback. A typical signal source for the line-level inputs of the Peavey

1015D would be a sound reinforcement mixing console (mixer) or the output from a CD player or MP3 player. 21 2a 3 41

1015D has a voltage selector switch to allow switching between an input power voltage range of 100VAC to 120VAC to a range from 220VAC to 240VAC, all at either 50 or 60 cycles per second (Hz). It should be preset to the proper voltage for your country out of the box. Be sure to check the position of the voltage selector switch to see that it matches the power line voltage used locally. If it does not match, then to change the voltage to the correct one, following the steps outlined below. Changing the Voltage Range of the PV 1015D First, make sure the PV 1015D is disconnected from the power line, and that the power switch (3) is in the OFF position. Second, loosen the screws holding the clear switch protector on the voltage selector switch (1) just enough to allow removal of the clear switch protector. The screws DO NOT need to be unscrewed very far. Remove the clear plastic protector from the voltage selector switch. Next, using a small flat blade screwdriver, push the red selector switch slide plate to the other side from where it was. The voltage that is now visible on the red slide plate is the one you have selected. Replace the clear plastic protector underneath the two loosened screws, and tighten one down while holding the clear plastic protector in place. Tighten the other screw down, and make sure both screws are tight. The fuse should be changed to the correct amperage rating. For an input power voltage range of 100VAC to 120VAC, use a 6.3 amp rated, 250V 5 x 20 mm cartridge type time-delay fuse, which conforms to the international fuse classification T6.3AL. For an input power voltage range o 220VAC to 240VAC, use a 3.15 amp rated, 250V 5 x 20 mm cartridge type time-delay fuse, which conforms to the international fuse classification T3.15AL. The IEC power cord that is correct for your locale can now be plugged into the IEC receptacle (2), and the Power switch (3) activated to turn on the powered PV

1015D speaker system.

IEC POWER CORD CONNECTION

This receptacle is for the IEC line cord (normally supplied with the correct pins and wiring for your locale) that provides AC power to the unit. Please read this guide carefully to ensure your personal safety as well as the safety of your equipment. Never break off the ground pin on any equipment. It is provided for your safety. If the outlet used does not have a ground pin, a suitable grounding adapter should be used and the third wire should be grounded properly. To prevent the risk of shock or fire hazard, always be sure that the mixer and all other associated equipment are properly grounded. FUSE The unit is AC power line fuse protected from overloads and fault conditions with a slow-blow 5 x 20mm 250V fuse. This fuse is located within the cap of the fuse enclosure just to the left of the ON/OFF switch. If the fuse fails, THE FUSE MUST BE REPLACED WITH THE SAME TYPE AND VALUE IN ORDER TO AVOID DAMAGE TO THE EQUIPMENT AND TO PREVENT VOIDING THE WARRANTY! The fuse in the PV 1015D can be replaced with a time-delay type 5 x 20 mm size 250V rated fuse. For 100-120VAC operation, a fuse rated at 6.3 amps should be used. In the USA, types GDC, GMC, 215, 218, and 477 cartridge-style 5 x 20 mm size fuses with a 6.3 amp 250V rating can be used. For 220-240VAC operation, a fuse rated at 3.15 amps and 250V should be used, which conforms to the international fuse classification T3.15AL. If the unit continues to blow replacement fuses, do not keep replacing them, it should be taken to a qualified service center for repair. To replace the fuse, be sure to remove the IEC power cord from the IEC socket (2).Remove the cap to the fuse enclosure (2a), using a flat-blade screwdriver tip inserted into the fuse cap slot. Push the cap in and turn the cap counterclockwise and pull the cap out. The blown fuse should come out with the cap. Remove the blown fuse and replace it with the proper type per instructions previously supplied. Then, once the new fuse has been put in place, re-insert the fuse enclosure cap, push in and turn the cap clockwise, and make sure it is fully seated. Before re-attaching the IEC power cord to the IEC socket, make sure the Power switch is in the OFF position, so that intermittent contact of the IEC cord while it is being connected will not unduly stress the amplifier or the fuse. Now re-attach the IEC power cord, and you can then use the Power switch to turn the unit on.

This rocker switch supplies AC power to the PV

1015D when switched to the ON position.

This jack allows a full-range passive (unpowered) speaker to be connected to the PV 1015D internal power amp, as long as it has an impedance rating no lower than 8 ohms, and is of similar sensitivity as the PV 1015D speaker system. Ideally, this speaker would be the passive model PV 1015, however, other 8-ohm passive full-range speakers with a nominal sensitivity of around 95 dB can be used. This additional speaker system can help increase coverage of the venue. The volume level of this added speaker is controlled at the same time as the volume of the PV 1015D, thus the need to use a speaker system with a similar sensitivity. It can also be used to drive an 8-ohm impedance, non-powered subwoofer with a built-in high-frequency roll-off, such as the PV 118 Sub. INPUT JACK The line-level input is of the medium impedance type. Jack (5) is a combination female XLR and 1/4” TRS connector, and can be supplied with a balanced or unbalanced input signal. LEVEL Controls the gain (volume) of the Input (5) of the powered speaker system. 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 Link Out is a 1/4” pre-level send intended for the use of linking multiple PV 1015D enclosures in a line. In that case, the Link Out would connect to the 1/4” connections of the MIC/LINE (5) input of the next PV 1015D in the line of PV speakers. Individual speakers can be adjusted by their own Level control (6). 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 1015D.

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

1015D 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.

1015D 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 1015D 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 121 dB at 1 meter from the speaker! Connecting AC Power To The PV 1015D The PV 1015D 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 1015D. Do not connect any other device to the same extension cord that the PV 1015D is connected to. Connecting a Signal to the PV 1015D There are a variety of ways to input a signal to the PV 1015D. The input jack (5) 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 (5) 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 1015D end. Check any input changes carefully, always turning the volume control down before plugging and unplugging cables, or making grounding changes. Use of high-quality, premium cables is recommended for the PV 1015D, as these usually have better shielding and materials and will provide greater long-term reliability. It is usually a good idea to leave some slack at the input to the PV 1015D and also to tape down the cables or run them under a cable guard to avoid anyone tripping over them or pulling the PV 1015D over when stand mounted. Level Control Adjustment The PV 1015D is equipped with a level control (6) to facilitate use in many different applications. With the level control adjusted fully clockwise, gain is at maximum and the input sensitivity is 0.650 V RMS for full-rated output. When driving the PV 1015D from a mixer, it may be advantageous to reduce the input sensitivity by turning the level control to the one-third point or even less. The PV 1015D will now more closely match the sensitivity of a typical power amp. If the mixing board indicates clipping of its output signals, then all of the PV 1015D power capability is not being utilized cleanly. Clipping the signal before it gets to the PV 1015D is not optimal. Reduce the mixer output level and turn up the level control on the PV 1015D. 9The amplifier in the PV

1015D is equipped with DDT and an LED indicator to show that DDT has engaged. If the sound seems heavily compressed, check this indicator; if it is blinking RED more than occasionally, then the drive level from the mixer (or the level control on the PV 1015D) needs to be reduced. When first turning on the sound system, switch on all upstream electronics first, then the PV 1015D with its level control fully counterclockwise (all the way down). Begin checking levels with the mixer output level controls all the way down, and bring them up slowly with the PV 1015D level control set to the desired setting (one-third of the way up is recommended as a starting point). Using the SPEAKER OUT jack The PV 1015D has a SPEAKER OUT, a 1/4” phone jack output on the rear panel. An external full-range passive speaker system (such as a PV 1015) can be connected to this jack, and powered by the internal amplifier. This external speaker must be an 8-ohm impedance or higher. YOU CANNOT CONNECT A 4-OHM SPEAKER TO THIS JACK. IT WILL CAUSE THE AMPLIFIER TO SHUT DOWN. Impedances lower than 8 ohms nominal are not allowed. For best results when using this jack, the external speaker connected to it should be of a similar sensitivity to the PV 1015D, which has a sensitivity around 95 dB for 1w/1M. If the external speaker has a higher sensitivity, it will play louder than the PV 1015D, and make it hard to balance the sound in the room. If the external speaker has a lower sensitivity, then it will play softer than the PV 1015D does at any given Level setting. Another consideration is to place the external speaker as far away as practical, to increase the overall coverage of the room, and to minimize the interference patterns that occur when two loudspeakers are near one another and radiating the same signal. Placing the external speaker at least 20-25 feet away from the PV 1015D would be a good practice. This would correspond to an example of having the PV 1015D on one side of a room, and the external speaker on the other side.

USE WITH A PASSIVE ADD-ON SUBWOOFER

Non-powered subwoofers that have a built-in high-frequency roll-off (often referred to as “add-on” subwoofers), can also be used with this output, as long as the nominal impedance is 8 ohms or above. The PV 118 Sub is in this category, and can be used with this output jack. Normally, the closer to the PV 1015D the Sub is placed, the better it will work WITH the PV 1015D to increase bass output. Since the PV118 Sub has a built-in pole guide for placing a pole stand for the PV 1015D, this makes use of a PV 118 Sub a natural for use with the PV 1015D. Use of the PV 1015D with a powered Subwoofer Powered subwoofers often have a built-in electronic crossover to allow a high-pass filtered signal (lows rolled-off) to be sent to the upper range speaker. The PV 118D Sub is such a subwoofer. When using the PV 1015D with this type of powered subwoofer, first run the signal from the mixer or signal source to the powered sub input, then come out of the combo jack labeled “THRU/HPF” and send that signal to the PV 1015D input jack. On the PV 118D Sub, the button to the far left labeled THRU/HPF should be pushed in to engage the high-pass filter (HPF). On other powered subwoofers, if they have a similar high-pass filter function, then send the signal in and out of the subwoofer according to the manufacturer’s instructions, which should be similar to the instructions as outlined above. Use of the PV 1015D with a Speaker Stand The PV 1015D has a stand mount cup on the bottom so that the system can be stand mounted on a standard 1 3/8” (36mm) diameter stand pole. When using stands or poles, be sure to follow these precautions: A. Check the stand or pole specs to make sure that it can support the weight of the PV 1015D (56 lbs./25.4 kg), and observe all safety precautions stated by the stand manufacturer, including the maximum height the stand is rated for. B. Always place the stand on a flat, level and stable surface, and be sure to fully extend the stand legs as per the stand manufacturer’s instructions. C. Try to make sure that the stand legs are oriented for the least danger of tripping to those in the vicinity of the stand. Never block a doorway or hallway with the legs of a stand. D. Try to route cables so that people will not trip over them, or tip over the speaker. Use of duct tape, cable channels or guards, or other appropriate tie-down/cover up devices should be carefully considered and implemented.E. When installing or un-installing the speaker on the stand, it is a good practice to have a helper if possible. It requires concentration to “thread the needle” and mate the stand cup to the stand pole while holding the

1015D speaker system at arm’s length. It is also helpful if someone holds the speaker stand and pole down while the PV 1015D is removed from the stand pole, this prevents the PV 1015D from pulling the pole up with it. F. When using stands outdoors, never attach banners or flags to the stands or the PV

1015D speaker system, as strong winds may cause the speaker to blow over. If there is a possibility of windy conditions, then it may be prudent to consider weighting or locking down the stand legs to prevent the PV

1015D speaker system from being blown over. TROUBLESHOOTING No Output at All First, make sure the unit has AC power and is turned ON. Make sure the Power/Clip LED (9) is illuminated Green. If not, make certain the ON/OFF switch (3) is in the ON position and check the IEC power cord connection (2) by ensuring it is fully engaged and seated. Make certain the AC line cord is plugged into a working AC outlet. Finally, check the fuse (2a). (See the Rear Panel: Fuse section, for safety instructions.) Once assured your unit is getting AC power, check that the PV 1015D is getting a signal. Temporarily disconnect the cable running to its inputs and connect it to some other device capable of reproducing the signal (i.e., a power amp and speaker). If this produces a signal, make sure that all Volume controls being used have been turned up to a satisfactory level (one-third to halfway). If the PV 1015D has been subjected to direct sunlight or excessive heat, the built-in thermal protection may have been triggered. The power/clip LED will be illuminated RED if this is the case. If so, turn off the PV 1015D and let it cool for a sufficient amount of time. If there is still no output, contact your authorized Peavey

dealer or the Peavey International Service Center. Hum or Buzz If the PV 1015D is producing a hum or buzz, this can be AC outlet related. Try plugging the PV 1015D into a different AC outlet. Sometimes, if a different AC power circuit (breaker) is used for the mixer and the PV

1015D, it can cause hum problems. Ensure that shielded cables have been used to route the signal to the PV 1015D enclosure's inputs. If speaker cables with 1/4” plugs are used as input cables instead of shielded cables, they will be prone to hum or buzz. The third wire (ground plug) on the AC plug should NEVER be removed or broken off. Hum may be ground loop-related. It may be helpful to lift the shield ground on a balanced cable at the PV 1015D end only by disconnecting the cable shield at the plug. Check any input changes carefully by first turning down the level control before plugging and unplugging cables, or changing the grounding. Check to make sure light dimmers are not on the same circuit as the PV 1015D, the mixer or any source devices. If light dimmers are used, then it may be necessary to turn them full, ON or fully OFF to eliminate or reduce hum. This is a typical AC wiring/light dimmer interference problem, not a design flaw of the PV 1015D. Distorted or Fuzzy Sound First, ensure the mixer (signal source) is not clipping or being overdriven. Make sure the level control (6) on the PV 1015D has not been set too low. Check that the input plugs are fully seated in the input jack (5) on the rear panel of the PV 1015D. Ensure that a power amp output has not been plugged into the input jack (5) of the PV 1015D. 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 PV 1015D has a Contour switch (7) to provide boost of the bass and treble for low playback levels. If excessive additional bass boost or high-frequency boost have been added externally to the PV

1015D while the Contour switch is engaged, it could cause premature overload at high SPL. Switch the Contour button OFF, which is the "out" position, and reduce the amount of any external EQ and see if that clears up the distortion. Finally, realize that even though the PV 1015D is a powerful and high output unit, it does ultimately have limits, and you may need additional powered units (or a subwoofer) to provide enough sound output or coverage for your application. In this case, try turning the mixer levels down a little to see if that clears things up. If, after checking all the things listed to check and anything else you can think of to check safely, and the system still exhibits problems, carefully note all conditions and check with your Peavey

dealer for advice.Care and Maintenance Your PV

1015D is a sturdy and durable product and will provide years of reliable use if properly cared for. Use common sense and read the safety warnings to avoid hazardous operating conditions. The unit must be disconnected from the AC power source before any work is done on it. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Sunlight/Heat Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, as this may cause the unit to overheat and thermally shut off. Excessively hot operating conditions can also cause a thermal shutdown. Do not store in extremely hot or cold conditions or extremely high humidity. Always allow unit to come to room temperature before use. Cleaning Never clean the PV 1015D while plugged in or turned ON! When the unit has been fully disconnected from AC power sources, use a dry cloth or a plastic bristle brush to remove soil or other dirt.
