PEAVEY PVi 6500 - FEATURES: - 1

CHANNEL CONTROLS

HIGH EQ

This High EQ shelving type of active tone control varies the treble frequencies (+/- 15dB at 12kHz) and is designed to remove noise or add brilliance to the signal, depending on the quality of the source.

MID-MORPH® EQ

Where most mid-range controls work at just one frequency, the Mid-Morph works at two. When turned counterclockwise, it cuts at 250 Hz to reduce frequencies that muddy the sound. When turned clockwise, it boosts at 4 kHz to add intelligibility to vocals. Either way, improved vocal or instrument definition can be achieved.

LOW EQ

A shelving type of EQ that varies the bass frequency levels (+/-15dB at 80Hz). Low EQ adds depth to thin-sounding signals or cleans up the muddy ones. As with any EQ, use sparingly. Too much of this EQ can give you a booming bottom end.

EFX - DIGITAL EFFECTS

This control adjusts the level of the channel signal added to the effects mix. The signal is sent to the internal effects processor. Turning the knob to the left (0) will turn off effects on the associated channel, while turning the knob to the right will increase the amount of the selected effect.

LEVEL

This control sets the signal level sent to the main mix.

CLIP

When this LED turns or blinks red, it is an indication that the signal coming into the channel is too strong, potentially causing distortion. Turn down the Level control (5) until the Clip light is no longer present. If you are having difficulty getting a clean signal, try varying the output of the connected device.

SIG

When this LED is green, it is an indication the mixer is receiving signal at the input of the channel. If you are having trouble getting sound out of the mixer and this LED is not on, check the microphone, instrument or cable that is connected to the channel.

MIC/LINE INPUT

This combination input jack can accept either a 1/4" (balanced or unbalanced) input or an XLR balanced, low-impedance connection. The tip is positive on the 1/4" balanced input, and pin 2 is positive on the XLR.

MIC/HI Z INPUT

Channel 5 line input is a Hi-Z unbalanced input for use with high impedance microphones, acoustic/electric guitars or other high impedance sources equipped with a 1/4" plug (TS).

1 HIGH -15 +15 2 MID- MORPH -LOW +HIGH 3 LOW -15 +15 4 EFX 0 10 5 CLIP SIG LEVEL 6 7 8 MIC/LINE INPUT MIC/HI-Z INPUT 8b

XLR BALANCED INPUT

Channel 6 is designed specifically for pre-recorded (program) music, but can also be used with a microphone. This XLR input provides a balanced low impedance connection.

MIC OR MEDIA SELECT BUTTON

This control selects between the low impedance XLR (9) and the RCA / 1/8", or USB MP3/Bluetooth® input.

11a/11b. MEDIA INPUT

These RCA and 1/8" inputs accept a stereo input from the output of an MP3 player, CD player, tape deck or other similar device.

FLS®

When feedback occurs, the LED of the frequency closest to the frequency that is feeding back will illuminate over the slider to be adjusted. Slowly bring the corresponding slider down until feedback is gone. The LED will remain illuminated for a few seconds after the feedback is gone.

GRAPHIC EQ

These 9-band EQs are designed for 12dB cut or boost. These EQs are used to make minor adjustments to the overall mix and should be used sparingly.

AMP LEVEL LED LADDER

These LEDs indicate the signal level going to the power amplifier. The top LED indicates LIMIT and activation of our revolutionary DDT™ speaker protection circuit. Peavey's award winning speaker protection circuit is built into the PV® 6500MP3 and activated automatically to maximize the power amplifier without fear of distortion.

POWER AMP INPUT SELECT

This control allows the user to select whether the 2nd power amplifier receives its signal from the Master Volume (17) control or from the Monitor Volume (16) control. This allows the user to run both power amps for mains at the same level, or use power amp 1 for mains and power amp 2 for monitors with independent level controls.

MONITOR VOLUME

An independent volume control that is active only when switch 15 is placed in the LEFT position. This allows the user independent volume control over the two internal power amplifiers. This is especially convenient when using power amp 2 to drive monitor speakers.

MASTER VOLUME

The master level control for the main mix and the overall volume of the powered mixer. When switch 15 is in the RIGHT position, the master volume controls both internal power amplifiers.

MASTER MUTE LED

When the LED is ON it indicates the master mute is activated.

MASTER MUTE

Depressing this button mutes channels one through five, preventing signal from passing to the power amplifier. This button does not affect channel 6.

KOSMOS®-C

The Kosmos-C module uses special circuitry to enrich the sound of your system. The LOW control is not just a simple bass boost. It provides 'natural bass enhancement' by adding harmonically related bass signals that track envelope of the original signal. The Kosmos-C HIGH control can be used to add clarity to dull signals.

EFFECTS TYPE TABLE

This table lists the types of effects available and the abbreviation used for each effect in the first character of the LED display. The chart also lists the parameter associated with each effect, which is controlled by turning encoder 24. A more detailed list of effects can be found at the end of this manual.

EFX LED

This LED indicates the type of effect currently selected. When turning encoder 27 the display will flash until the encoder is depressed, selecting a new effect.

PARAMETER CONTROL

This encoder controls the parameter associated with the selected effect, listed both on the mixer (22) and in this manual. The parameter control is used to make adjustments to the sound of the effect.

EFX MUTE

When pushed this button bypasses the effects section, letting the user listen to the dry signal. When depressed and muted, LED 23 displays two dashes “--”.

CLIP LED

This LED blinks RED when the signal to the effects section is too hot and is causing distortion. Find the source of the hot signal by reducing the EFX SEND (4) on each channel until the LED is no longer clipping (blinking red).

EFFECTS SELECT

Turn and push this encoder to select the desired effect.

PHANTOM POWER

When depressed, this switch applies +15 VDC to all input XLR connectors to power microphones that require phantom power.

Caution: When phantom power is switched on, make sure that any channel you are plugging a microphone into is turned down and the Master Main and Monitor controls are set to minimum. Otherwise, there will be a loud pop in the system. For best results, first plug all microphones into their respective channels before phantom power is switched on. This reduces noise through the system and reduces the chance of damage to the microphones. If phantom power is used, do not connect unbalanced, dynamic microphones or other devices to the XLR inputs that cannot handle this voltage. (Some wireless receivers may be damaged. Consult their manuals.) The line input jacks are not connected to the phantom supply and are safe for all inputs (balanced or unbalanced). An unbalanced to balanced impedance converter such as the Peavey 5116 or a Peavey 1:1 Interface Adapter may also be used to isolate a microphone from phantom voltage.

FOOTSWITCH

This 1/4" TRS (tip ring sleeve) jack accepts a momentary 1/4" TRS dual button footswitch (Peavey part number 03014070) designed to defeat the effects on all channels and activate the MASTER MUTE switch (19).

RCA RECORD OUT

This pair of RCA jacks provides a signal to the recording inputs of a CD recorder, stereo tape deck, or other recording device.

NOTE: Do not connect a single device to the Media In (11a/11b) and Record Out (30). This improper setup forms a loop, which can cause severe feedback. Use separate devices for recording and playback.

MAIN OUT

This 1/4" jack provides a signal from the main mix (after the graphic EQ) for an external power amplifier. An external power amp, such as our IPR series of amplifiers, can then drive additional speakers.
