SVP-P SERIES POWERED LOUDSPEAKERS

SVP-12PM Panel & Description:

1. Level control: The Level control adjusts the overall volume
of the amplified signal.

2. 5 band EQ: Use this Five-Band Graphic EQ to cut or boost
your signal up to 12dB at designed frequency centers.
This is useful for reducing low frequency rumble or
feed back that often occurs on stage.

3. Parallel Line input and output: These two jacks are
provided to supply a signal input to the SVP -12PM and to
allow for daisy chaining the signal to possibly another
SVP-12PM or amplifier combination.

4. Speaker out: The Speaker Out is post EQ, powered
output. Designed for a minimum impedance of 8 ohms
speaker. This output should be connected only to non­powered monitor speakers. The SVP-12M is the perfect
extension monitor to use in this application.

5. Power switch: use this switch to turn the unit on and off.

6. AC Input connector: The line cord (included) which
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.

NEVER REMOVE OR CUT THE GROUND PIN OF THE

LINE CORD PLUG

7. Fuse: If the fuse should fail, it must be replaced with the
same type and value in order to avoid damage to the
equipment and prevent voiding the warranty.
