IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: When using electrical products, basic cautions should always be followed, including the following:
1.Read these instructions.
2.Keep these instructions.
3.Heed all warnings.
4.Follow all instructions.
5.Do not use this apparatus near water.
6.Clean only with a dry cloth.
7.Do not block any of the ventilation openings. Install in accordance with manufacturer’s instructions.
8.Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves or other apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce heat.
9.Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding-type plug. A polarized plug has two blades with one wider than the other. A grounding type plug has two blades and a third grounding plug. The wide blade or third prong is provided for your safety. If the provided plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet.
10.Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched, particularly at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point they exit from the apparatus.
11.Only use attachments/accessories provided by the manufacturer.
12.Use only with a cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table specified by the manufacturer, or sold with the apparatus. When a cart is used, use caution when moving the cart/apparatus combination to avoid injury from tip-over.
Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when unused for long periods of time.
14.Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when the apparatus has been damaged in any way, such as when power-supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the apparatus, the apparatus has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has been dropped.
15.Never break off the ground pin. Write for our free booklet “Shock Hazard and Grounding.” Connect only to a power supply of the type marked on the unit adjacent to the power supply cord.
16.If this product is to be mounted in an equipment rack, rear support should be provided.
17.Note for UK only: If the colors of the wires in the mains lead of this unit do not correspond with the terminals in your plug‚ proceed as follows:
a)The wire that is colored green and yellow must be connected to the terminal that is marked by the letter E‚ the earth symbol‚ colored green or colored green and yellow.
b)The wire that is colored blue must be connected to the terminal that is marked with the letter N or the color black.
c)The wire that is colored brown must be connected to the terminal that is marked with the letter L or the color red.
18.This electrical apparatus should not be exposed to dripping or splashing and care should be taken not to place objects containing liquids, such as vases, upon the apparatus.
19.The on/off switch in this unit does not break both sides of the primary mains. Hazardous energy can be present inside the chassis when the on/off switch is in the off position. 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 |
|
1.5 |
102 |
|

105 |
|
.5 |
110 |
|
.25 or less |
115 |
|
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 ensureagainst 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.

•RX 14 1.4" titanium compression driver
•Peak SPL up to 120 dB with music!
•Combo jack with 1/4" TRS & female XLR micor line-level balanced input
•Two 1/4" phone jacks for link-out/direct-in capability
•Molded-in horn with exceptionally smooth response and pattern control
•Top and sides handgrips
•Pole mount molded-in

DESCRIPTION
The Peavey PR 15D is a powered, bi-amplified, two-way speaker system engineered to provide very high levels of performance in a compact powered loudspeaker. The PR 15D is capable of up to 120 dB peak SPL. The enclosure utilizes tough polypropylene in an injection-molded plastic trapezoidal form, with a coated steel grille to offer an attractive yet-durable powered speaker system.
This two-way powered system is comprised of a 150 W class D power amplifier driving a 15" heavy duty woofer. The RX™14 compression driver is driven by a 50 W class D power amplifier and features a 1.4” titanium diaphragm coupled to an extremely smooth and well-controlled constant directivity horn (with a coverage pattern of 90˚ by 40˚) that is molded integrally into the enclosure.
A balanced input to the preamp/EQ electronics consists of one combo female XLR and 1/4” TRS phone jack. It is switchable between mic-level and line-level sensitivity. Two 1/4” phone jacks are provided for link-out / direct-in capability. The link-out is postlevel and pre-crossover. While the direct-in is a direct pre-crossover input.
A woofer servo senses back-EMF from the woofer voice coil that is not a result of the drive signal, and subtracts the error so that the woofer cone follows the drive waveform precisely.
Constant Loudness (Fletcher-Munson) circuit for accenuating bass and treble at low listening volume levels.
The power amplifiers providing the bi-amplification are low-distortion units providing 150 W continuous RMS into the nominal 8 ohm load of the woofer, and a 50 W continuous RMS into the nominal 8 ohm load of the tweeter. They were selected for their reliability and superb musical performance capability. Both amplifiers feature our patented DDT™ compression, which virtually eliminates audible power amplifier clipping.
A molded-in handle provides ease of transport, while multiple mounting points (top and bottom) for the Peavey Versamount™ allow maximum utility.
APPLICATIONS
The Peavey PR®15D has a variety of applications such as sound reinforcement, public address, side fill system, karaoke or musical playback. With the optional monitor stand kit, the Peavey PR 15D makes an excellent stage monitor.
A typical signal source for the line-level inputs of the Peavey PR 15D would be a sound reinforcement mixing console (mixer) or the output from a CD player, iPod player or tape deck. A dynamic microphone can be connected and used as well.

FUSE
The unit is AC power line fuse protected from overloads and fault conditions with a fast-blow 3.15 Amp fuse. This fuse is located within the cap of the enclosure. 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. If the unit blows a fuse, it should be taken to a qualified service center for repair.
1 IEC POWER CORD CONNECTION
This receptacle is for the IEC line cord (supplied) that provides AC power to the unit.
It is very important that you ensure the PR 15D has the proper AC line voltage supplied. You can find the proper voltage for your PR 15D printed next to the IEC line (power) cord on the rear panel of 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.
2 ON-OFF SWITCH
This rocker switch supplies AC power to the PR 15D when switched to the ON position.
