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 consumption 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 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 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 approximately -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 controlled by the channel Monitor Send controls (6) and by this master control.

EFX Send Master

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 comfortable 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.

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.

Rear Panel

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.

Rear Panel

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 connection 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 determined 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 connectors. 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.

Power Switch

Depressing the power switch supplies power to the unit.

Warning: The power switch in this unit breaks only one side of the line. Hazardous energy may be present inside the mixer when the power switch is in the OFF position.

Removable Power Cord

This receptacle is for the IEC line cord (included) that provides AC power to the unit. Connect the line cord to this connector and to a properly grounded AC supply. Damage to the equipment may occur if an improper line voltage is used (see voltage marking on unit). Never remove or cut the ground pin of the line cord plug. The console is supplied with a properly rated line cord. If lost or damaged, replace this cord with one of the proper rating.

NOTE FOR UK ONLY: If the colors of the wires in the mains lead of this unit do not correspond with the colored markings identifying terminals in your plug, proceed as follows: (1) The wire that is colored green and yellow must be connected to the terminal marked by the letter E, or by the earth symbol, or colored green or green and yellow. (2) The wire that is colored blue must be connected to the terminal that is marked with the letter N, or colored black. (3) The wire that is colored brown must be connected to the terminal that is marked with the letter L or colored red.

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.

Compatible with Windows® XP, ME & 2000. Also compatible with Mac OS X® 10.0 or later.
