POWERING UP
Turn the Power Switch to the ON position. The Power LED will illuminate green and the system will turn on. If
®
other powered equipment is to be attached to the system, it is always advisable to turn on your PV i PORTABLE
last. This way any transient spikes and thumps caused by other equipment will not be amplified and sent to your
system speakers.
For the same reason, it is advisable to turn off your PVi PORTABLE system first, before turning off attached
equipment.
Should the Power LED not illuminate when the power switch is operated, check your power connections and retry.
Should the Power LED still fail to illuminate after you have confirmed the power connections, disconnect all cables
and check the PVi PORTABLE fuse. Be sure to replace any blown fuses with fuses of the correct value.
Reconnect the power and speaker cables and turn the rear panel power switch ON.
Reset the system by turning on the Power switch. If the Power LED illuminates red, the system is indicating a
thermal protect mode or cooling problem. Be sure there isn't anything blocking the air intakes on the rear of the
main mixing console.
Turn Power off and wait for a few minutes, allowing heat to dissipate and the PVi PORTABLE to reset itself. If after
doing so the Power LED continues to glow red, this indicates a fault with your system and you should consult an
authorized Peavey service center.
If no audio is present in one of the speakers, check to see if your control settings are correct. Next, unplug the cable
from your working speaker and reconnect it to the other speaker. If the second speaker works, this indicates that
the first cable is bad, and should be repaired or replaced.
SETUP SYSTEM VOLUME & LEVELS
To set system volume and operating levels, be sure to follow these simple setup guidelines:
1. First, slowly raise the Left and Right Master volume controls to their 12 o'clock notched positions.
2.Use a microphone (or other source) in the same position as it will be used on stage and in the manner in which
it will be used for the event. Slowly bring up the appropriate channel input level control, listening for the onset of
feedback or until the desired level is reached.
3. The easiest way to set the master EQ sections is to play a prerecorded track through the system while adjusting
the EQ. Be mindful that while enhanced bass may sound good with pre-recorded tracks, it may cause unwanted
low-end feedback and rumbling during a live performance.
4. Place the speakers in a manner that will allow them to project to the majority of your audience while making sure
not to aim them at open microphones. Anytime a microphone can "hear" the sound of the speakers, it will cause
feedback. Make sure your speakers are well forward of any open microphone.
5. Optional speaker stands can be purchased from your local Peavey dealer.
