and a RX™10 titanium diaphragm dynamic compression driver mounted on a 100 by 60 degree coverage Qua-
dratic roat Waveguide™. It’s sleek, modern appearance coupled with excellent performance, oer a superb
overall package.
e lightweight yet rugged injection-molded plastic enclosure with molded-in stand mount cup facilitates
portable use for live music or PA sound. e trapezoidal cabinet has two handles for ease of portability, and an
extra 45-degree angled section on the right side to allow use as a oor monitor. Four sets of ying/mounting
ENGLISH

points, two sets on the top, two sets on the bottom, and one single insert on the rear near the bottom, with a total
of 13 cabinet inserts, provide for the ultimate in installation exibility. A pair of black powder coated perforated
steel grilles provides driver protection and a professional appearance.
e heavy-duty 10” woofer has a 2 3/8” voice coil diameter, and a 50 oz. magnet for chest-pounding bass. e
RX™10 compression driver tweeter is coupled to a Quadratic roat™ constant directivity waveguide. e Qua-
dratic roat Waveguide™ is an original Peavey® design, with smooth, even response, low distortion and good
high frequency dispersion. is horn has an asymmetrical vertical polar response, aiming the main energy lobe
down 10 degrees, so it is aimed at the audience, instead of over their heads. e vertical polar pattern is +20
degrees, -40 degrees. is helps reduce ceiling reections for greater clarity and gain before feedback.
e PVX™p 10 Bluetooth® speaker system power ampliers providing the bi-amplication are low-distortion
reliable fan-cooled units providing a total of 520W peak dynamic power for the system.
ere is 400W peak dynamic power for the woofer, and 120W peak dynamic power for the tweeter. e power
supply for both amps is a switch mode type for low weight and high eciency. Both ampliers feature sophis-
ticated DSP based signal compression, which virtually eliminates audible power amplier clipping. Cooling is
provided via a low-noise fan, for reliable operation under any conditions.
Input for two of the three input channels is via a combo female XLR and 1/4” TRS phone jack with balanced
input to the preamp/EQ electronics, and a level control. For these two channels, a switch is provided to change
between line level gain and mic level gain. A third channel is for a Bluetooth® source, or alternatively a 1/8” AUX
input jack. Each channel has an adjustable Level control knob, and also a three-band EQ section that is accessi-
ble via the DSP menu Push knob. ere is a balanced output, a Male XLR, that can feed the mixed signals from
the three channels out to another component. is output allows linking of additional speaker systems, or feed
of the signal to a powered subwoofer, etc.
e cabinet of the PVX™p 10 Bluetooth® speaker system has multiple mounting y points, providing outstanding
versatility in permanent install use. A pair of widely spaced M8 inserts is molded-in on the top, and a pair on
the bottom, and a set of four M8 inserts is available on the top, on the bottom for use with the Versamount™ 70,
and one M8 on the rear near the bottom. is is a total of 13 mounting inserts in all. All of these inserts have
retaining hardware on the inside of the plastic cabinet, providing a more reliable and safe mode of mounting the
cabinet.
Applications
e Peavey PVX™p 10 Bluetooth® has a variety of applications such as sound reinforcement, public address, side
ll system, karaoke or musical playback.
e multiple y points make use as a permanent install system very convenient with lots of installation exibility.
A typical signal source for the line-level inputs of the Peavey PVX™p 10 Bluetooth® would be a sound reinforce-
ment mixing console (mixer) or the output from a CD player, MP3 player or tape deck. e Bluetooth® link
provides for many modern devices to link to the system, such as smart phones, digital mixers, etc. A typical
dynamic microphone can be connected directly via the XLR input and used as well.

LOWER REAR PANEL
FUSE (1)
The unit is AC power line fuse protected from overloads and fault conditions with a slow-blow 5 x
20mm 250V fuse. This fuse is located within the cap of the fuse enclosure just above the IEC power cord
connection. 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 PVX™p 10 Bluetooth® can be replaced with a time-delay type 5 x 20 mm size 250V rated fuse.
For 100-120VAC operation, a fuse rated at 5 amps should be used. In the USA, types GDC, GMC, 215, 218, and
477 cartridge-style 5 x 20 mm size fuses with a 5 amp 250V rating can be used. The fuse should conform to the
international fuse classification “T5AL”.
For the Export model, using an input power voltage range of from 220VAC to 240VAC, use a 2.5 amp rated,
250V 5 x 20 mm cartridge type time-delay fuse, which conforms to the international fuse classification
“T2.5AL”.
If the unit continues to blow replacement fuses, do not keep replacing them- it should be taken to a qualified
service center for repair.
To replace the fuse, be sure to remove the IEC power cord from the IEC socket (2).
Remove the cap to the fuse enclosure (1) using a flat blade screwdriver tip inserted into the fuse cap slot. Push
the cap in and turn the cap CCW and unscrew the cap out until it comes free from the rear portion of the
holder. The blown fuse should come out with the cap.
Remove the blown fuse and replace it with the proper type per instructions previously supplied. Then, once the
new fuse has been put in place, re-insert the fuse enclosure cap, push in and screw the cap in CW, and make
sure it is fully seated.
Before re-attaching the IEC power cord to the IEC socket, make sure the Power switch is in the OFF position,
so that intermittent contact of the IEC cord while it is being connected will not unduly stress the amplifier or
the fuse.
Now re-attach the IEC power cord, and you can then use the Power switch (3) to turn the unit on.

IEC POWER CORD CONNECTION (2)
is receptacle is for the IEC line cord (supplied) that provides AC power to the unit. It is very important
that you ensure the PVX™p 10 Bluetooth® has the proper AC line voltage supplied. You can nd the proper
voltage for your PVX™p 10 Bluetooth® 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 o 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 re hazard, always be sure that the mixer and all other associated equipment are
properly grounded.

can be stand mounted on a standard 1 3/8” (36mm) diameter stand pole.
When using stands or poles, be sure to follow these precautions:
Check the stand or pole specs to make sure that it can support the weight of the
PVX™p 10 Bluetooth® (28 lbs./12.7 kg), and observe all safety precautions
stated by the stand manufacturer, including the maximum height the stand is
rated for.
Always place the stand on a flat, level and stable surface, and be sure to fully
extend the stand legs as per the stand manufacturer’s instructions.
Try to make sure that the stand legs are oriented for the least danger of tripping
to those in the vicinity of the stand. Never block a doorway or hallway with the
legs of a stand.
Try to route cables so thatpeople will not trip over them, or tip the speaker over.
Use of duct tape, cable channels or guards, or other appropriate tie-down/cover
–up devices should be carefully considered and implemented.
When installing or de-installing the speaker on the stand, it is a good practice to
have a helper if possible, it can be hard to “thread the needle” and mate the
stand cup to the stand pole while holding the PVX™p 10 Bluetooth® speaker
system at arm’s length. It is also helpful if someone holds the speaker stand and
pole down while the PVX™p 10 Bluetooth® is removed from the stand pole, this
prevents the PVX™p 10 Bluetooth® from pulling the pole up with it.
When using stands outdoors, never attach banners or flags to the stands or the
PVX™p 10 Bluetooth® speaker system, strong winds may cause the speaker to
blow over. If there is a possibility of windy conditions, then it may be prudent to
consider weighting or locking down the stand legs to prevent the PVX™p 10
Bluetooth® speaker system from being blown over.
Connecting a Signal to the PVX™p 10 Bluetooth®
There are a variety of ways to input a signal to the PVX™p 10 Bluetooth®.
The inputs (4a and 4b) provides either a balanced mic- or line-level input,
allowing the use of a 1/4" TRS (ring-tip-sleeve) type phone plug or a male XLR
plug.
Do notconnect cables to the jacks while the unit is ON and the Level knob is
turned up! While a standard single-ended 1/4" phone plug-equipped shielded
cable will work well, and the balanced input circuitry will provide some

Loudspeaker System Specifications
interference rejection, a balanced cable using either the balanced TRS 1/4"
phone plug or the XLR plug will provide superior interference rejection and
performance.
Sometimes, with difficult interference problems, it will be helpful to lift the shield
ground ( Pin #1 of an XLR) of a balanced cable at the PVX™p 10 Bluetooth®
end. Check any input changes carefully, always turning the Level control down
before plugging and unplugging cables, or lifting the ground.
Use of high quality, premium cables is recommended for the PVX™p 10
Bluetooth®, as these usually have better shielding and materials and will provide
greater long-term reliability. The best option is a shielded balanced cable no
longer than necessary to reach the PVX™p 10 Bluetooth®. It is usually a good
idea to leave some slack at the input to the PVX™p 10 Bluetooth® and also to
tape the cables down or run them under a cable guard to avoid anyone tripping
over them or pulling the PVX™p 10 Bluetooth® over when stand mounted.
Level Control Adjustment
The PVX™p 10 Bluetooth® is equipped with a Level controls (5a, b and c)) on
the inputs to facilitate use in many different applications. With the Rear Panel
Level control adjusted fully clockwise, and the DSP Master Gain at +10 dB, and
the DSP Channel Gain at nominal (0 dB), the gain is such that the input
sensitivity is 0.50 V RMS for full-rated output with the Combo jack. There is still
10 dB more gain available in the individual DSP Channel inputs, which makes
the sensitivity with all DSP channel sliders full up, the DSP Master Gain full up,
and the Level control full CW, approximately 0.16 V RMS.
If the PVX™p 10 Bluetooth® has been Factory Reset, or the App control turned
OFF, then the default gain for the DSP Master Gain is set to 0 dB.
This results in a sensitivity of 1.58 V RMS with the Rear Panel Level control
adjusted fully clockwise, and the DSP Channel Gain at default (0 dB).
We recommend the following gain structure for the PVX™p 10 Bluetooth®
speaker system:
Rear Panel Level control starting out at straight up
DSP Master Gain at +10 dB
DSP Channel Gain at 0 dB
This results in a sensitivity of 0.50V RMS for full power output.
When driving the PVX™p 10 Bluetooth® from a mixer, it may be advantageous
to reduce the input sensitivity by turning the Level control to the halfway point.
The PVX™p 10 Bluetooth® will now more closely match a typical power amp.
If the mixing board indicates clipping of its output signals, then all of the PVX™p
10 Bluetooth® power capability is not being utilized cleanly. Clipping the signal
before it gets to the PVX™p 10 Bluetooth® is not optimal. Reduce the mixer
output level and turn up the Level control on the PVX™p 10 Bluetooth®.

13
Loudspeaker System Specifications
The amplifiers in the PVX™p 10 Bluetooth® are equipped with DSP controlled
compression and limiting, and the LED indicator will show when PVX™p 10
Bluetooth® compression/limiting has engaged. If the sound seems heavily
compressed, check this indicator; if it is blinking RED and is On more than it is
Off, then the drive level from the mixer (or the Level control on the PVX™p 10)
needs to be reduced.
When first turning on the sound system, switch on all upstream electronics first,
then the PVX™p 10 Bluetooth® with its Level control fully counterclockwise (all
the way down). Begin checking levels with the mixer output level controls all the
way down,and bring them up slowly with the PVX™p 10 Bluetooth® Level
control set to the desired setting (one-third way up recommended to start).
It is not good practice to turn the Rear Panel Channel Level controls on the
PVX™p 10 Bluetooth® all the way up and then try to control level only from the
mixer, this approach would tend to pick up excess noise. Best practice would be
to run a “hot” signal from the mixer down the cable to the PVX™p 10 Bluetooth®,
and then turn the PVX™p 10 Bluetooth® Level control up only as much as
necessary to reach full desired output. With this approach, it is necessary to
verify the mixer output is not clipping.
When using the system with Bluetooth® as a signal source, it is best to turn
down the Bluetooth® channel (channel 3, 5c) until you are sure the signal level
from your Bluetooth® source device is at a reasonable level, then adjust the
relative gain between the PVX™p 10 Bluetooth® and the Bluetooth® source
device.
Use of 1/8" AUX Jack Input (4c)
If using the 1/8" AUX input jack (4c), this channel has more gain than the XLR
combo jacks, and how much depends on whether both of the "channels" on the
1/8" jack carry the same signal or not. The 1/8" input jack is a "stereo" jack, in
that it has separate signal contacts for L and R on the tip and ring.
Since the PVX™p 10 Bluetooth® is a single speaker system, signals coming in
on the 1/8" input jack with content on both channels are summed to mono,and
then fed to the speaker system DSP preamp.
If there is a signal on only one channel, then the gain is 9 dB higher than the
XLR combo jacks 4a and 4b. This creates a sensitivity of approximately 0.18 V
RMS with the Rear Panel Level control adjusted fully clockwise, and the DSP
Master Gain at +10 dB, and the DSP Channel Gain at nominal (0 dB).
With the Rear Panel Level control adjusted fully clockwise, and the DSP Master
Gain at +10 dB, and the DSP Channel Gain full up (10 dB), this becomes 0.056
V RMS.
If the SAME signal is sent in on both channels of the 1/8" input jack, then the
gain is increased by 6 dB, and the sensitivity voltages become 0.089 V RMS and
0.028 V RMS respectively.
It should be noted that this is a very high sensitivity with all the gain controls
turned fully up, and when using the 1/8" input jack, it would be a good idea to

Loudspeaker System Specifications
14
turn down both the Rear Panel Level control, and the DSP Master Gain, and the
DSP Channel Gain to avoid a suddenly very loud signal presence.
A good starting point would be -10 dB on the DSP Master Gain, and also on the
DSP Channel Gain, and start with the Rear Panel Level control down (CCW) all
the way, and turn it up slowly with an active signal source feeding the 1/8" input
jack.
It would be prudent to check your signal source default output setting (as in a
Smart Phone feed), as it is not uncommon for this setting to be at a rather high
level. If you are checking the gain with your device "turned down", and later, you
go to hook it up again, in the meantime, it may have become reset to the default
output level.
Level Indications on the LCD Display Screen (10)
The LCD screen for the DSP menu also displays a set of level indicator bars in
each segment of the display, channels 1, 2, 3 and the Main (Master) segment.
See Fig. A below, and compare to Fig. 1 a little bit further down.
Fig. A Level Indicator Bars
These indicator bars can be helpful in determining the relative level between
channels, and to see the overall signal level structure. Note that they do not
respond to quick, short transients, but are more of an averaging style of
indication.
They will not be accurate to try and determine when the system has reached it's
outputlimits, that would best be determined by turning the front baffle LED
indicator to "Limit" mode, as outlined in the Config menu section below, see Figs
53,54,and 55 and their associated explanations. Please note the information
provided aboutwhen the LED indicator turns RED when the Limit indication
function is selected.
Disconnecting AC Power to the PVX™p 10
We recommend that the Power switch (3) be used to turn the unit off first, and
then the AC power cord can be removed, this minimizes stress to the power
amplifiers and the transducers from turn-off transients. The power switch has an
arc suppression capacitor to help during turn-off,and tends to make a clean
disconnect from the AC power, while the power cord IEC connector can make
intermittent contact before finally becoming fully disconnected, e.g., as when
wiggling the cord.

DSP Menu
The DSP menu is accessed via the Push for DSP knob (9), and is displayed on
the LCD Screen for DSP Menu (10).
In this section, we will step through the DSP menu as it is displayed and as each
layer is accessed.
When the unit is first turned on, it displays the Peavey® logo, and then a yellow
bar across the bottom showing the progress of the loading into working memory
of the DSP code, and the model is displayed above the progress bar until it is
finished loading. Then you see the Main Start Screen.

From Fig. 5, turn the "Push for DSP" knob four clicks CW, and the HPF Filter
band is selected. HPF stands for High Pass Filter, which rolls off low
frequencies. See Fig. 14.
Fig. 14 HPF Filter Band
The default filter frequency is 20 Hz, and the filter type is a 2nd order Bessel.
Normally, there is no need to change this setting, but if the speaker will be used
for speech only, or other limited bandwidth signal sources, or with a microphone
exposed to the wind, or excessively plosive talkers, etc. then raising the
frequency of this filter may be helpful in taming these undesired sounds.
Note that raising the frequency to a value above 20 Hz WILL start to roll-off the
lower frequencies, and limit how low a frequency the speaker system can
reproduce. Setting the filter very much higher than 140 Hz should not be
necessary except in extreme and unusual circumstances.
The range of frequencies it can be set to are from 20 Hz to 400 Hz.
Also note that the entire speaker system is protected by a 36 dB/oct. infra-sonic
filter, and this HPF Channel filter is added on top of that existing filtering.
An example of the HPF set to 50 Hz is shown below in Fig. 15
Fig. 15 HPF set to 50 Hz
Note that CH3, the set of Gain and EQ controls for the Bluetooth® signal source,
does not have this filter available, as most pre-recorded music or sources do not
have very much extreme low-frequency content or opportunity to generate
excessive plosives or mic noises, etc.
