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.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 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 1⁄2 |
102 |
1 |
105 |
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.

TriFlex™ Powered Subwoofer and Stereo Satellite System
Thank you for purchasing the TriFlex. The TriFlex is designed‚ from start to finish‚ with flexibility in mind. This system delivers 1500 Watts of peak dynamic power to the sub and another 750 Watts of peak dynamic power to the left and right satellite speaker outputs. The TriFlex is designed as a complete package, with a subwoofer driving its own pair of satellite mid/high frequency passive speakers from the left and right power output jacks. There also are facilities for line-level mid/high outputs for driving other mid/high frequency active, separately powered speakers. Alternatively, the TriFlex powered subwoofer can be used as a stand-alone sub.

Description
The Peavey® TriFlex™ is a powered‚ three-way piece speaker system designed to provide the highest levels of performance in a compact package. The subwoofer unit is loaded with the new‚ high power handling 15" Low Rider® Black Widow® bass woofer. The TriFlex subwoofer is constructed of premium plywood‚ covered with a tough‚ roadworthy black carpet. A 16-gauge, perforated metal grille with powder-coated finish covers the front of the system to protect the speakers. The TriFlex includes two tripod pole stands for mounting the speakers.
Flexibility is designed into the TriFlex. Balanced inputs for each channel are provided and include one combo female XLR and 1/4" TRS phone jack plus one male XLR thru, all connected in parallel. The power amplifiers are lowdistortion units that supply 1500 Watts of peak dynamic power to the bridged subwoofer, and up to 750 Watts peak dynamic power to the left and right satellite speakers. The amplifiers feature Peavey’s patented DDT™ compression that virtually eliminates audible power amplifier clipping.
For ease of transport, inset metal handles on each side of the sub are provided. For pack-up and transport, removable locking casters are located on the rear of the sub. This allows the unit to be rotated onto its back and moved with ease. In this position, the satellites are designed to rest face-to-face on the sub's grille. The entire unit is slipcovered, with a protective flap for the amplifier, which becomes the bottom of the unit when rolled. The speaker cables are placed in the cover pockets and the speaker stands in their own pouches. This makes for a compact and complete package for easy transport.

Fuse (1)
The TriFlex AC is protected from overload and fault conditions with an ABC-type fast-blow 15 Amp
fuse. The 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 amplifier repeatedly blows the fuse, it should be taken to a qualified service center for repair.
IEC Power Cord Connection (2)
This receptacle is intended to accept an IEC terminated line cord (included) that provides AC power to the unit. It is very important that you ensure the TriFlex is supplied with the proper AC power line voltage. You can find the proper voltage for your TriFlex printed next to the IEC line (power) cord on the rear panel of the unit.
If a North American AC power receptacle is of the two-wire type (i.e., does not include a third wire ground pin hole), never circumvent this situation by breaking off the ground pin of the AC power cord. The ground pin is provided for your safety. Suitable grounding adapters are available at your local hardware store. This allows proper third-wire grounding to the AC power outlet cover screw. To prevent the risk of shock or fire, always make sure that all other associated audio equipment is also properly grounded, preferably to the same AC power outlet
breaker circuit.
Power Switch (3)
This rocker switch supplies AC mains power to the TriFlex when in the ON position.
Power LED (4)
This LED illuminates when the Power Switch is in the ON position.
