ENGLISH
Installation Note:
This unit must have the following clearances from any combustible surface: top: 8", sides: 12", back: 12"
Gain
This control establishes the nominal operating level for 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 channel Fader (12) set to 0. If
the clip LED comes on and remains lit, try reducing the gain.
80 Hz Low Cut
The low cut lter has a corner frequency of 80 Hz. When engaged‚ it
can improve clarity by removing low frequencies that make a mix sound
muddy. This feature is especially useful when playing outside on a windy
day or on a hollow-sounding‚ noisy stage. These kinds of ambient noises
can rob your sound system of power. Engaging this switch will remove
those frequencies from the system and restore power where needed.
Hi EQ
This active tone control (shelving type: ±15 dB) varies the level of the high
frequency range.
Mid EQ
This active tone control (peak dip: ±15 dB) varies the level of the mid
frequency range.
Low EQ
This active tone control (shelving type: ±15 dB) varies the level of the low
frequency range.
Caution: Excessive low frequency boost causes greater power consump-
tion and increases the possibility of speaker damage.
MON Send (MON Send 2 on the PV
™
20 only)
This control adjusts the level of the channel signal sent to the monitor
output. The signal is taken before the channel Fader (12) but after the
channel EQ.
EFX Send
This control adjusts the level of the channel signal added to the effects
mix. The effects send signal is taken after the channel Fader (12) so that adjustments made to the fader
will also affect the send level.
Pan
This knob controls the placement of the signal in the stereo eld. When rotated completely counter-
clockwise‚ 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 5/6 and 7/8 on the PV
™
10 (11/12 and 13/14 on the PV
™
14, 17/18 and 19/20
on the PV
™
20).
Mute
The mute button is a quick way to remove the channel signal from the left/right main mix, as well as
effects and monitor sends, without disturbing the control settings.
Clip/Mute LED
This light normally indicates that the channel signal level is nearing the overload point, but it also lights
when mute is engaged. The clip indicator circuit monitors the signal at many points in the channel to
ensure that it catches all instances of clipping. It illuminates at +19 dBu and warns that the gain or EQ
boost should be reduced. When it lights, roughly 3 dB of headroom remains.

Signal LED
The signal LED lights when the channel level reaches approxi-
mately -20 dBu. This not only indicates which channels are
active, but also serves as a mini level meter.
Fader
The channel Fader is the channel output control, which sets
the signal level to the left and right mix and the effects send
control. The optimum setting is the 0 (unity gain) position.
Tape In/Out
The tape input jacks are designed to accommodate tape‚ CD,
or computer sound card output levels. The output level is +4
dBu for connecting to a recorder or sound card input. The tape
inputs can be used as an additional stereo input by engaging
the Tape/USB to Main Mix switch (27). The tape input can also be used to monitor the recorder/sound
card output without the risk of feedback.
NOTE: The USB input is routed to the Tape Input left/right. If another device is connected to the Tape
Input, this signal will be combined with the USB input signal.

EFX Time
This control adjusts the time of the particular reverb or delay.
Green Signal LED and Red Clip LED
The green Signal LED and red Clip LED are used to set the operating input level to the PV™10, PV™14,
and PV™20 effects processors. The signal level to the processor is affected by channel Fader, the Effects
Send and the Effects Send Master Controls. Start with the Master Control (20) set to 0 (12 o’clock) and
adjust the channel sends so that the signal LED lights and the clip LED blinks on occasionally, if at all.
The clip LED lights 6 dB below clipping. Pressing the EFX defeat mutes the effects signal and lights the
clip/mute LED.
EFX Return
Once the input level is set (see 17) use the EFX Return control to mix the effects processor output into
the main left/right outputs. Remember, a little reverb goes a long way.
MON Send Master
This is the master output level control for the monitor mix.
The output level sent to the Monitor Send jack (37) is con-
trolled by the channel Monitor Send controls (6) and by this
master control.

This is the master output level control for the EFX mix. The
output level sent to the EFX Send jack and the internal ef-
fects processor is controlled by the channel Fader (12), the
channel EFX Send controls (7), and by this master control.
The 0 position is the recommended setting for this control.
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 comfort-
able listening level. Normally, the signal in the headphones
is the left/right signal. If the Tape to Control Room (26) is
engaged‚ the tape signal is also included.
LED Meters
Two eight-segment LED arrays are provided to monitor the
levels of the main left/right outputs. These meters range
from -30 dB to +19 dB. The 0 dB position on the meter corresponds to +4 dBu at the outputs.
Power LED
This LED indicates AC power is supplied to the unit‚ the power switch is on, and the unit is functioning
properly.
Phantom Power LED
This LED lights when the Phantom Power Switch (25) has been engaged.

Phantom Power Switch
This Switch applies +48 VDC voltage to the input XLR connectors to power microphones requiring phan-
tom power.
If phantom power is used, do not connect unbalanced dynamic microphones or other devices to the XLR
inputs.
Tape To CTRL/HP
Depressing this switch adds the tape return to the Control Room (39) and Headphone Outputs (41) for
zero latency monitoring.
Tape/to Mix (Tape/USB to Mix)
Depressing this switch routes the signal from the Tape Inputs (13) or USB Input (44) to the Left/Right
Outputs (40). The USB input level is controlled by the computer volume control.
Tape/USB to Main (PV
™
20 only)
This knob provides a convenient way to adjust the Tape Input (13) or USB Input (44) volume. (On models
PV
™
10 and PV
™
14, adjust the USB Input (44) volume with the computer volume control.)
Contour Switch
Engaging this switch enhances the signal by adding both bass and treble frequencies. This is especially
effective at lower volumes or for tape/CD playback.
Master Level Faders
These Master Faders control the levels sent to the main left/right outputs. Best results are obtained
when these controls are set near the 0 point.
Mic (XLR) Inputs
XLR balanced inputs are optimized for a microphone or other low impedance source. Pin 2 is the positive
input. Because of the wide range of gain adjustment, signal levels up to +14 dBu can be accommodated.
Line (1⁄4”) Inputs
Line inputs provide 1⁄4” balanced (TRS) 10 k Ohm impedance input. The tip is the positive input and
should be used for unbalanced inputs. It has 20 dB less gain than the XLR input and does not have
phantom power available. The Mic and Line inputs should not be used simultaneously.

Insert
The 1⁄4” TRS connectors allow external signal processors to be inserted into the channel signal path.
Tip=Send; Ring=Return; Sleeve=Ground.
Stereo (1⁄4”) Inputs
These 1⁄4” unbalanced inputs work as a stereo line input using both jacks or as a mono input if the con-
nection is made to the left/mono input only. The A/B input selector must be in the “A” position for these
jacks to be active.
RCA Inputs
These RCA inputs work as stereo line inputs. The A/B input selector must be in the “B” position for
these jacks to be active.
A/B Switch
The A/B input selector switch expands the capability of the PV™10, PV™14, and the PV™20 mixers by
allowing two stereo sources to be connected to each stereo line input. Instead of repatching, the switch
selects which input jacks are active.
MON Send
The MON Send features a 1⁄4” TRS Z-balanced jack in the master section. This output can be used with
the Tip, Ring, Sleeve (TRS) balanced or Tip, Sleeve (TS) unbalanced connectors. The MON mix is deter-
mined by the amount of signal being sent to the MON bus in each channel and by the Monitor Master
control (19).
EFX Send
The EFX Send features a 1⁄4” TRS Z-balanced jack in the master section. These outputs can be used with
Tip‚ Ring, Sleeve (TRS) balanced, or Tip, Sleeve (TS) unbalanced connectors. The EFX mix is determined
by the amount of signal being sent to the EFX bus in each channel and by the EFX master control.
Control Room Outputs
The Control Room 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. The Control Room output level
is adjusted with the Headphone level control (21).
Left/Right Outputs
The left/right Outputs feature two 1⁄4” TRS Z-balanced jacks and two fully balanced XLR outputs. The
1⁄4” outputs can be used with Tip‚ Ring, Sleeve (TRS) balanced or Tip, Sleeve (TS) unbalanced connec-
tors. The output level is set by the Master Level Faders (30). Both outputs can be used simultaneously.
Headphone Output
The Headphone Output is a 1⁄4” TRS (Tip= Left; Ring = Right; Sleeve = Ground). The signal sent to this
output is normally the left/right mix. When the Tape to Control Room switch is engaged, the tape input
signal is added to the left/right mix and can be monitored in the headphones.

USB port and USB Record Level Control
The USB port is used to connect the PV™ Series USB mixer to
acomputer 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 amount of the main mix
signal being sent to the USB port can be adjusted using the
Record Level control located next to the USB port. The USB
port receives digital audio from the computer; it can then be
assigned through the “Tape/USB to Mix” switch (27) to the
main left/right output. The USB input level is controlled by
the computer volume control.
