When depressed, this switch applies +15 VDC to all input XLR connectors to power microphones that
require phantom power.
Caution: When phantom power is switched on‚ make sure that any channel you are plugging a micro-
phone into is turned down and the Master Main and Monitor controls are set to minimum. Otherwise‚
there will be a loud pop in the system. For best results, first plug all microphones into their respective
channels before phantom power is switched on. this reduces noise through the system and reduces the
chance of damage to the microphones. If phantom power is used‚ do not connect unbalanced‚ dynamic
microphones or other devices to the XLr inputs that cannot handle this voltage. (Some wireless receiv-
ers may be damaged. Consult their manuals.) the line input jacks are not connected to the phantom
supply and are safe for all inputs (balanced or unbalanced). an unbalanced to balanced impedance
converter such as the Peavey 5116 or a Peavey 1:1 Interface adapter may also be used to isolate a micro-
phone from phantom voltage.

This 1/4" TRS (tip ring sleeve) jack accepts a momentary 1/4" TRS dual button footswitch (Peavey part
number 03014070) designed to defeat the effects on all channels and activate the MASTER MUTE switch
(19). On the PVi 6500 the Master Mute switch will send a Play/Pause signal to the iPod
MUTED; when UNMUTED the Master Mute switch sends a STOP signal to the iPod dock. This function is
extremely useful for playing program music during breaks.

This pair of RCA jacks provides a signal to the recording inputs of a CD recorder, stereo tape deck, or other
recording device.
NOtE: Do not connect a single device to the Media In (11a/11b) and Record Out (30). This improper setup
forms a loop, which can cause severe feedback. Use separate devices for recording and playback.

This 1/4" jack provides a signal from the main mix (after the graphic EQ) for an external power amplifier.
An external power amp, such as our IPR series of amplifiers, can then drive additional speakers.
