DESCRIPTION
The TriFlex II is a three piece, two-channel sound system, already tweaked and ready to go for sound reinforcement, DJ gigs, and
various music playback duties. Consisting of a shared Subwoofer cabinet and a pair of Satellite speakers, the TriFlex
pre-engineered for a balanced sound and a crisp, punchy presentation. The three-way effective performance that the system is capable of
provides a clear sound at high output levels, with plenty of punchy bass.
The Subwoofer cabinet has a 15” heavy-duty woofer in it, as well as the system electronics, which consists of a preamp, electronic crossover,
sub-sonic filter, and three power amps. Equipped with 3” heavy-duty locking casters, the Subwoofer cabinet can be rolled around with the
two Satellite speakers nested on top. Once in position, you can remove the Satellite speakers, flip the Subwoofer over 90 degrees onto it’s
rubber feet, and the electronics controls and inputs and outputs are now readily available on the top at the rear of the Subwoofer cabinet.
The sturdy Subwoofer cabinet construction of 18 mm MDF with internal bracing, and a tough black acrylic paint finish, paired with a 16 gauge
perforated metal grille, provide good road-worthiness for years to come.
The amplifier is in a separate sub-enclosure in the Subwoofer cabinet, so the electronics are not exposed to the Subwoofer’s air pressure and
vibration.
Controls and Inputs/Outputs are across the rear top of the unit when it is oriented for use, with the amplifier heatsink on the back panel.
All controls and heatsinks are recessed with no knobs sticking out or sharp heatsink edges exposed.
The Satellite speakers consist of a custom 10” heavy-duty woofer and a Peavey RX14
a Quadratic Throat
waveguide horn. Equipped with a speaker stand pole mount, the Satellite speakers can be placed high up on a speaker
1.4” titanium diaphragm compression driver tweeter on
stand to get the sound out into the audience cleanly. There is also a 45° angled section on the back side of the Satellite speakers so they can
be used as floor monitors when laid on the appropriate side.
Two 15 foot 16 ga. speaker cables with the mating 4-pin twist-lock connectors on each end are supplied with the TriFlex II System to hook-up
the Satellites to the TriFlex
Any good quality 1 3/ 8” diameter pole speaker stands can be used with the TriFlex
speaker stand available as an accessory that will fit into the free slipcover supplied with the TriFlex
II System electronics in the Subwoofer cabinet.

FUSE (1)
The unit is AC power line fuse protected from overloads and fault conditions with a slow-blow 4.0 Amp 250V
fuse. This fuse is located within the cap of the fuse enclosure just to the left of the ON-OFF switch. 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 The fuse in the TriFlex II can be replaced with a
time-delay type 5 x 20 mm size, 4 amp 250V rated fuse, which conforms to the international fuse classification
"T4AL". In the USA, types GDC, GMC, 215, 218, and 477 cartridge-style 5 x 20 mm size fuses with a 4 amp 250V
rating can be used. If the unit continues to blow replacement fuses, do not keep replacing them, it should be
taken to a qualified service center for repair.
IEC POWER CORD CONNECTION (2)
This receptacle is for the IEC line cord (supplied) that provides AC power to the unit. It is very important that
you ensure the TriFlex II has the proper AC line voltage supplied. You can find the proper voltage for your TriFlex
II 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.
ON-OFF SWITCH (3)
This rocker switch supplies AC power to the TriFlex II when switched to the ON position. The ON position is with
the right side of the switch pushed “in” or nearly flush with the rear panel.
