Frequently Asked Questions - PV 6 PEAVEY

How do I set the gain correctly on the PV6?
Adjust the Gain control so that the green Signal Present/Clip LED flashes with the source and turns red only on the loudest peaks. Start with the Level knob at 12:00 (0 dB). If the red clip LED stays on, reduce gain.
How do I use phantom power?
Press the Phantom Power switch (22) to apply +48V to XLR inputs. Only use with condenser microphones that require phantom power. Do not connect unbalanced dynamic mics or devices that cannot handle 48V.
Can I connect my computer to the PV6?
Yes, via the USB Type B port (39). Use a standard USB cable to connect to your computer. The mixer streams stereo audio to/from the computer. Use the Digital Return Level (16) to adjust incoming signal, and switches (17/18) to route USB audio to Control Room or Main outputs.
How do I connect an external effects unit?
Connect the EFX Send jack (34) to the input of your effects unit. Use the EFX Master knob (23) to set the overall send level. Return the processed signal to a stereo channel. Each channel has its own EFX Send knob (8) to adjust the amount sent to the effects.
What is the 'Electric Guitar Pre-Shape' switch?
Engaging the Electric Guitar Pre-Shape button on channel 1 optimizes the EQ and preamp for electric guitar. It changes the 1/4" input impedance to 1 MΩ (like a tube amp input) and adjusts the EQ curve for guitar.
How do I use the compressor?
Press the Global Compressor Enable button (14) to activate compression. Adjust the Compressor Control knob (25) clockwise to increase compression (lower threshold). The ratio is approximately 4:1. The red LED next to it lights when compression is active.
What does the 'EQ Bypass' button do?
Pressing EQ Bypass (on mic channels) removes the EQ from the signal path, allowing you to compare the processed sound with the original. Useful for fine-tuning EQ settings.
How do I monitor with headphones?
Plug headphones into the Headphone Output (27). Adjust the Headphone Level (24) knob. The headphone output normally carries the main mix. If you want to hear USB return, press To Control Room (17) to route USB audio to headphones.
What is the 'Mid-Morph' EQ?
The Mid-Morph control on channels 1 and 2 works at two frequencies: counterclockwise cuts at 250 Hz (reduces muddiness), clockwise boosts at 4 kHz (adds vocal clarity). It improves vocal or instrument definition.
No sound from the main outputs. What should I check?
Ensure the Level (26) and channel Level (10) knobs are turned up. Check that the Gain is set properly and the Clip LED is not red. Verify that the Main Out (35) cables are connected and the speakers/amplifier are on. Also check that the channel is not muted (if applicable) and the EQ Bypass is not engaged inadvertently.

Electric Guitar Pre-Shape

Engaging this button optimizes the on board equalization for guitar.

Signal Presence/Clip LED

This LED helps in setting the gain control. Gain (3) should be adjusted so that the green LED flashes in time with the source, and turns red only on the loudest peaks. If adding EQ results in clipping (red LED), compensate here by reducing gain (3). The red clipping LED lights when roughly 5dB of headroom remains.

Gain

The Input Gain control is used to establish proper gain structure in the channel. The input gain can be adjusted over a wide range to compensate for soft voices or very loud drums. To maximize the signal-to-noise ratio, the gain should be set to the proper level, with the Level Knob (10) set to 0. If the clip LED comes on and remains lit, try reducing the gain.

High EQ

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

Mid 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 (+/- 15 dB at 80 Hz). 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. Caution: Excessive low frequency boost causes greater power consumption and increases the possibility of speaker damage.

EQ Bypass

Engaging this button bypasses the equalization of the channel.

EFX Send

This control adjusts the level of the channel signal added to the effects mix. The signal is sent to the internal effects processor (PV6 BT) or the EFX send jack (PV6). Turning the knob to the left (min) will turn off effects on the associated channel, while turning the knob to the right will increase the amount of the selected effect.

Pan

This knob controls the placement of the signal in the stereo field. When rotated completely counterclockwise, the signal is present only on the left channel; when rotated completely clockwise, only in the right channel. This control functions as a balance control to adjust the relative level of the left and right signals on stereo channels.

Channel Level

This controls the output level of the channel into the main mix. The gain is 0 dB when set to the detent at mid-rotation (12:00). 10 dB of boost is available at the max gain setting. Normal operation is to start with this knob at the detent, and set the input gain and EQ with the source playing such that normal levels are seen at the bicolor LED and the main meter array. As additional sources are added, it is normal to turn this knob down slightly.

High EQ

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

Mid EQ

This midrange control adjusts the stereo channel's eq +/-20 dB @ 440Hz

Low EQ

A shelving type of EQ that varies the bass frequency levels (+/- 15 dB at 80 Hz). 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. Caution: Excessive low frequency boost causes greater power consumption and increases the possibility of speaker damage.

23 EFX Level

This is the master output level control for the EFX mix. The output level sent to the EFX Send jack is controlled by the Channel Level Control (10), the channel EFX Send controls (8), and by this master control. The 12:00 position is the recommended setting for this control.

24 Headphone Level

This knob sets the headphone and control room output levels. To avoid damage to your hearing, make sure to turn the dial fully counterclockwise before using headphones. Slowly turn the knob clockwise until you reach a comfortable listening level.

25 Compressor Control

Adjusting this knob clockwise lowers the threshold of the compressor, thereby increasing the amount of compression. The compressor ratio is in the 4:1 range, varying with signal levels and the amount of compression. This is useful for controlling peak levels from live sources. The compressor is after the master level control(26), and before the main outs (35) and the USB port(39), so it can be used to tame vocals being recorded into a DAW. You can audition the effect of the compressor by switching it in and out with the Enable switch (14). When the compressor is active, the adjacent red LED will illuminate.

26 Level

This is the master level control, which controls the overall level sent to the main outputs (35) and the USB port (39).

27 Headphone Output

The Headphone Output is a 1/4" TRS (Tip= Left; Ring = Right; Sleeve = Ground) jack. The signal sent to this output is normally the Left/Right mix. When the "To Control Room" switch (17) is engaged, the USB return signal is also sent to the headphones.

PV®6BT Front Panel

13 Level

Adjusts the level of the source selected by (11).

(14) EFX Mute

Depressing this button will cut all digital effects from the main mix.

15 EFX Adjust

This rotary encoder adjusts the parameter of the effect selected by EFX SELECT (16). For reverbs, double, slapback, and delays, the knob controls the time. For chorus effects, this knob controls the rate. Any adjustment you make with this knob will be stored into memory until the next time you adjust the parameter. In other words, your changes will "stick" even if you select a different effect. When you return, things will be the way you left them.

(16) EFX SELECT

Use this rotary encoder to choose which effect you want to apply. There are 9 reverbs, 4 delays, and 3 chorus effects. You can fine-tune the behavior of the selected effect with the EFX ADJUST knob.

⑰ Global Compressor Enable Button

When depressed, the compressor is enabled.

18 LED Meters

Two six-segment LED arrays are provided to monitor the levels of the main left/right outputs. These meters range from -18 dBu to +19dBu. The highest green LED corresponds to +4 dBu at the outputs.

19 Digital Return Level

Controls the signal level coming in to the USB digital audio port, typically from a USB-equipped computer. The nominal setting is near 12:00 for this control.

20 To Control Room

28 MIC/LINE INPUT

This combination input jack can accept either a 1/4" (balanced or unbalanced) input or a XLR balanced, low-impedance connection. The tip is positive on the 1/4" balanced input, and pin 2 is positive on the XLR. When ELECTRIC GUITAR PRE-SHAPE is depressed, the channel 1 1/4" input changes to a high impedance (1 MegΩ), like a 12AX7 vacuum tube guitar amplifier input.

29 1/4" TRS Direct Outs

Impedance-balanced outputs fed by the mic preamp. Channel 1 output is after the ELECTRIC GUITAR PRE-SHAPE switch.

30 Stereo 3.5mm Input

Accept a stereo input from the output of an MP3 player, CD player, tape deck or other similar device. This input is optimized for portable handheld devices and therefore has very high sensitivity.

31 Stereo Inputs

Channels 3 and 4 feature stereo inputs via 1/4" jack. If only one jack is used, it behaves as a mono source with a pan control. Once both jacks are connected, it behaves as a stereo source with a balance control; 3 is Left and 4 is Right.

32 RCA Connection

Accept a stereo input from the output of an MP3 player, CD player, tape deck or other similar device. This input is optimized for portable handheld devices and therefore has very high sensitivity.

33 Stereo

Accept a stereo input from the output of an MP3 player, CD player, tape deck or other similar device. This input is optimized for portable handheld devices and therefore has very high sensitivity.

34 EFX Send

Ground compensated TRS balanced output fed by the EFX SEND master level (23). These outputs can be used with Tip Ring Sleeve (TRS) balanced or Tip Sleeve (TS) unbalanced connectors.

35 Main Out

Ground compensated TRS balanced outputs fed by the master LEVEL control (26). These outputs can be used with Tip Ring Sleeve (TRS) balanced or Tip Sleeve (TS) unbalanced connectors.

36 Main Out

Ground compensated TRS balanced outputs fed by the master LEVEL control (28). These outputs can be used with Tip Ring Sleeve (TRS) balanced or Tip Sleeve (TS) unbalanced connectors.

37 Bluetooth® Activation Button

Press and hold this button until the LED blinks 3 times, indicating the Bluetooth has been powered on or off, then release. Once turned on, the Bluetooth will automatically enter pairing mode. You can pair any Bluetooth-enabled device with the mixer using the PIN 7878. To clear the paired device memory, make sure the Bluetooth is turned off and press and hold the button for at least 10 seconds. The LED will initially blink 3 times but then should remain off. Once you have released the button after 10 seconds, you can proceed by powering it on as normal, and the memory will be cleared.

38 Left/Right Outputs

The Left/Right Outputs feature two 1/4" TRS Z-balanced jacks. These outputs can be used with Tip Ring Sleeve (TRS) balanced or Tip Sleeve (TS) unbalanced connectors.

Use to connect the included power supply. Be sure the power supply is connected to the PV*10 before connecting to a power source. Use 15VDC, 1A adapter only. Replace only with Peavey part number 30908119.

POWER SWITCH

This is the main power switch.

USB PORT TYPE B

The USB port is used to connect the PV ^® Series USB mixer to a computer for recording or playing back digital audio to/from your computer. The USB port sends the mixer's main/tape stereo out to the computer. The USB port receives digital audio from the computer; it can then be assigned through the USB TO Main switch ( 18 , PV6; 21 , PV6BT) to the main left/right output, if the computer is being used for playback only. For recording, use the USB TO CONTROL ROOM control ( 17 , PV6; 20 , PV6BT), to avoid creating a loop. Compatible with Windows ^® Vista, Windows 7, & Windows 8, Mac OS X ^® 10.0 or later, and iOS devices.
