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.

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.

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.

11 Two-way Audio Input Selector
Allows you to select between a 1/4" and RCA audio input.
12Balance
Adjusts relative levels of left and right channels.
13 Level
Adjusts the level of the source selected by (11).
14 Global Compressor Enable Button
When depressed, the compressor is enabled.
15 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.
16 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.
17 To Control Room
When depressed, USB digital audio return is routed to the control room and headphone outputs. Use this setting when recording with DAW software to avoid unintended loops.
(18) To Main
When depressed, USB digital audio return is routed to the Main summing amp. This setting is recommended only when there is a requirement to playback through the main outputs, at which time the DAW software must have input monitoring disabled.

Beware of creating an unintended loop, which results in very LOUD and uncontrolled oscillation that can damage loudspeakers and eardrums!
(19)RCA Connectors for Monitor
Connect powered monitors, or an amplifier feeding monitor speakers here. Set the volume controls on the monitors A and B to be equal when the A/B switch is toggled. 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 Monitor Outputs.
20 A/B Toggle Switch
When depressed, the A outputs are muted and the B outputs are on. When raised, the A outputs are on and the B outputs are muted. This allows the easy checking of a computer DAW mix on two different sets of monitors.
(21)Monitor Level
Use this control to set the listening level in your control room monitors. The optimum setting for this control is 12:00, so monitor amplifier levels (or powered monitor levels) should be adjusted with this knob at 12:00. There is an additional 17 dB of gain available on this pot at the max position.
(22) Phantom Power
This Switch applies +48 VDC voltage to the input XLR connectors to power microphones requiring phantom power.

If phantom power is used, do not connect unbalanced dynamic microphones or other devices to the XLR inputs that cannot handle this Voltage.

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
11 Three-way Audio Input Selector
Allows you to select between a 1/4", RCA audio input, or Bluetooth connection.
12 Balance
Adjusts relative levels of left and right channels.
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.

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.
