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. 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.
12. Only use attachments/accessories provided by the manufacturer.
13. 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.
14. Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when unused for long periods of time.
15. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when the apparatus has been damaged in any
way, such as 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.
16. 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.
17. If this product is to be mounted in an equipment rack, rear support should be provided.
18. 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
890
692
495
397
2100
1 1⁄2 102
1105
1⁄2 110
1⁄4 or less 115
According to OSHA, any exposure in excess of the above permissible limits could result in some hearing loss. Ear plugs 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 ensure against 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.

1155PP
Thank you for purchasing the powered version of the Pro-Lite Series PR™15. The PR 15P features a bi-amped power
section that provides 200 Watts peak dynamic power for the woofer and 70 Watts peak dynamic power for the
compression driver tweeter, both with Peavey-exclusive DDT™compression. Offering a 15" heavy duty woofer and the
RX™14 compression driver, the PR 15P provides an XLR and 1/4"phone combo jack, with mic/line switchable level,
balanced input with volume control and a pair of 1/4" phone jack inputs with concentric volume controls. Up to three line
level input signals can be mixed together, or one mic-level, and two line-level signals mixed.
It is very important that you ensure the PR 15P has the proper AC line voltage supplied. You can find the proper voltage
for your PR 15P 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.

The Peavey PR 15P is a powered, bi-amplified, two-way speaker system engineered to provide very high levels of
performance in a compact powered loudspeaker. Capable of up to 120 dB peak SPL, this system can pump out a lot of
sound. 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 200 W dynamic peak power amplifier driving a 15" heavy duty woofer.
The RX™14 compression driver is driven by a 70 W peak dynamic 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 jack inputs are controlled in level by a concentric
pair of level controls. All three inputs can be mixed in any ratio.
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.

The unit is AC power line fuse protected from overloads and fault conditions with an ABC-type fast-blow 5
Amp fuse. This fuse is located within the cap of the fuse holder. 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 repeatedly blows fuses, it should be taken to a qualified
service center for repair.

This receptacle is for the IEC line cord (supplied) that provides AC power to the unit.
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.

The Peavey PR™15P 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 15P makes an
excellent stage monitor.
A typical signal source for the line-level inputs of the Peavey PR 15P would be a sound reinforcement
mixing console (mixer) or the output from a CD player, Minidisc player or tape deck. A dynamic
microphone can be connected and used as well.
