Sound Reinforcement Enclosures

Introduction

Thank you for choosing Peavey's Messenger UL™ series enclosur es as part of your sound reinforcement system. We take great
pride in the design and manufacture of our units and you can expect top performance and reliability. Your Messenger UL™
enclosure has been rigorously tested before packing and despatch to your dealer. A built-in crossover is fitted to optimise
performance under variable conditions. The nominal impedance of your enclosure will be clearly marked on the in-put plate.

Full range operation

From the power am plifier con nect to the socket mark ed “input” us ing a 2 core cable an d an NL4 Speako n connec tor wired as follo ws:-

" Positive to 1+
" Negative to 1-

The “link “ socket enables parallel connection of another enclosure, however take care that the final load presented to the power amplifier is within
its continuous operating parameters . Use this socket in conjunction with an NL4 Speakon and 2 core cable wired as follows:-

" Positive to 1+
" Negative to 1-

Bi -amp operation

Note that an electronic crossover set to a frequency of 1200Hz (18dB/octave minimum) with RX22 compression driver EQ will be required.
From the power am plifier(s) c onnect to t he socket m arked “bi-amp” using a 4 cor e cable and an NL4 Speako n conne ctor wi red as f ollows:-

" Bi-amp low positive to 1+
" Bi-amp low negative to 1-
" Bi-amp high positive to 2+
" Bi-amp high negative to 2-

Connecting to the “bi-amp” socket autom atically disconnects the internal crossover .
There will be no output from the “link” socket whilst in bi-amp mode.

For extended low frequency response we recommend one of the following low frequency enclosures:­UL™-112, UL™-115, UL™-118, UL™-118S or UL™-215S
See the relevant operating guide for full details.
For use with other electronic crossovers and configurations, consult your Authorised Peavey Dealer.

NOTE! EQ is required for the RX™22 compression driver.

Voicing Switch (UL™-12 & UL™-15)

This feature is fitted only to the UL™-12 and the UL™-15 (4 and 8ohms). The voicing switch allows selection between two
levels of mid-range output. Setting the switch to FLAT allows the enclosure to reproduce the entire mid-range without
attenuation. Setting the switch to EQ will attenuate the mid-range. Different styles of music and venues will determine which
setting produces the desired sound.

Speakon Cable Wiring

Your Messenger UL™ enclosure is fitted with low loss Neutrik input socket(s) which must be wired to a regular twin conductor
cable of adequate gauge using a 4 pole Neutrik plug (not supplied), Peavey part # 00712570. Peavey UL™-10, 12 and 15
enclosures are fitted with two parallel Neutrik sockets to allow daisy chaining. Either socket may be used as the input.

DANGER! LOUDSPEAKER CABLES CAN CARRY HAZARDOUS VOLTAGES. TAKE CARE IN TERMINATING
YOUR CABLES. PEAVEY STRONGLY RECOMMEND THAT THE POWER AMPLIFIER IS SWITCHED OFF
WHILST CONNECTING OR DISCONNECTING EITHER END OF THE LOUDSPEAKER CABLE.

DANGER! THIS ENCLOSURE HAS NOT BEEN DESIGNED TO BE FLOWN IN ANY WAY. NEVER ATTEMPT TO
SUSPEND USING THE HANDLES OR BY ANY OTHER MEANS.

CAUTION ! THIS SPEAKER IS CAPABLE OF HIGH SOUND PRESSURE LEVELS. USE EXTREME CARE IN
SETTING MAXIMUM LOUDNESS.

CAUTION! ENSURE THAT ANY SPEAKER STAND USED IS ABLE TO SUPPORT THE ENCLOSURE WEIGHT
AND THAT THE STAND IS ONLY STOOD ON A STABLE AND LEVEL SURFACE WITH THE MINIMUM OF
TILT.
