DESCRIPTION
The PVXp 15 is a two-way sound reinforcement system based on a heavy-duty Pro 15” woofer and a RX14 titanium diaphragm
dynamic compression driver mounted on a 100 by 50 degree coverage Quadratic Throat Waveguide. Its sleek, modern
appearance, coupled with excellent performance, offer an outstanding package. The lightweight-yet-rugged injection-molded
plastic enclosure with molded-in stand mount cup facilitates portable use for live music or P.A. sound. The trapezoidal
cabinet has three handles for ease of portability, and an extra 45-degree angled section on the right side to allow use as a
floor monitor. Five sets of flying/mounting points, two on the top, two on the bottom, and one on the side, with a total of 16
cabinet inserts, provide for the ultimate in installation flexibility. A black, powder-coated, perforated steel grille provides driver
protection and a professional appearance.
The heavy-duty 15” woofer has a 2-3/8” voice coil diameter, and a 50 oz. magnet for 200 watts continuous worth of
chest-pounding bass. The RX14 compression driver tweeter is coupled to a Quadratic Throat constant directivity waveguide,
covered under US patent #6,059,069, with smooth, even response, low distortion and good high frequency dispersion.
This horn has an asymmetrical vertical polar response, aiming the main energy lobe down 10 degrees, so it is directed at
the audience instead of over their heads. The vertical polar pattern is +15 degrees, -35 degrees. This helps reduce ceiling
reflections for greater clarity and gain before feedback.
The PVXp 15 speaker system power amplifiers providing the bi-amplification are low-distortion, ultra-reliable, fan-cooled units
providing a total of 800W peak available power for the system. There is 650W peak available power for the woofer, and 150W
peak available power for the tweeter. The power supply for both amps is a switchmode type for low weight and high efficiency.
Both amplifiers feature our DDT™ compression, which virtually eliminates audible power amplifier clipping. Cooling is provided
via a low-noise fan for reliable operation under strenuous conditions.
ENGLISH

CIRCUIT BREAKER (1)
The unit is AC power line protected from overloads and fault conditions with a 5-amp circuit breaker. This
breaker should not trip unless there is a fault in the amplifier circuitry or an abnormal operating condition,
which causes excessive mains current to flow. If the breaker trips, set the Power switch (3) to OFF, and after
waiting a brief period of time for the breaker to cool, reset the breaker.
If the circuit breaker trips, the center button will pop outward approx. 1/4”, and can be reset by pushing upward
and inward. Under normal (not tripped) conditions, the center button is relatively flat.
If the unit continues to trip the breaker, or trips it immediately after being reset, do not keep resetting it, the
system should be taken to a qualified Peavey Service Center for repair.
IEC POWER CORD CONNECTION (2)
This receptacle is for the IEC line cord (supplied) that provides AC power to the unit. It is very important for the
user to ensure that the PVXp 15 has the proper AC line voltage supplied. You can find the proper voltage for
your PVXp 15 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 off 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 fire hazard, always be sure that the mixer and all other associated equipment are
properly grounded.
APPLICATIONS
The Peavey PVXp 15 has a variety of applications such as sound reinforcement, public address, side fill system,
karaoke or musical playback.
A typical signal source for the line-level inputs of the Peavey PVXp 15 would be a sound reinforcement
mixing console (mixer) or the output from a CD player, MP3 player or similar device. A high-output dynamic
microphone can be connected directly via the XLR input and used, as well.
REAR PANEL
Input is via a combo female XLR and 1/4” TRS phone jack with balanced input to the preamp/EQ electronics, and
a level control. A Thru output has an XLR and a TRS ¼” phone jack connector. These outputs allow the user to
link additional speaker systems, or feed the signal to a powered subwoofer, etc. Included in the input panel is a
bay for optional function modules, such as a Wireless Receiver, Digital Audio Input or a 10-band EQ, etc.
The cabinet of the PVXp™15 speaker system has multiple mounting fly points, providing outstanding versatility
in permanent installations. A pair of M10 inserts is molded-in to the top, and a pair on the bottom, while a set
of four M8 inserts are available on the top, on the bottom, and on the right side in the handle recess. This is
a total of 16 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.

ON-OFF SWITCH (3)
This rocker switch supplies AC power to the PVXp™15 when switched to the ON position. The ON position is
with the left side of the switch pushed “in” or nearly flush with the rear panel.
ACCESS PANEL FOR OPTIONAL EXPANSION MODULE
This panel is to be removed ONLY when installing one of a variety of Optional Expansion Modules that will be
available soon for the PVXp 15.
These Optional Expansion Modules will either work in conjunction with the input already present on the PVXp 15, or
provide an in-line function for the input, such as a 10-band EQ, etc. Check with your Peavey® dealer for availability
and price.
If you are not installing such an optional Expansion Module, then do not remove this cover. Instructions for installing
an optional expansion module will come with each expansion module and will be specific for that module.
TOP – OPERATING CONTROLS, INPUTS & OUTPUTS
REAR PANEL TOP
INPUT (4)
The line-level input is of the medium impedance balanced type. The jack is a combo female XLR and 1/4" TRS
connector.
SPECIAL NOTE! The normal input for line level is the ¼” TRS jack. It has reduced gain compared to the XLR
input, which has enough gain for a high-output microphone to be used with the Level control. Sensitivity of the
¼” TRS jack is 0.54 volts for full output, and 0.12 volts for the XLR jack.
LED (5)
Illuminates green when the power switch is On and power is present. It turns red when either of the power
amps engages the DDT™ “soft limiting” circuitry.
LEVEL (6)
Controls the gain or output level of the input signal. It is used to directly set the system output level for a given
input channel input signal.
CONTOUR (7)
The Contour switch provides a mild boost at the frequency extremes, so that low-level playback can be more
pleasing. Do not use the Contour switch when playing sound at loud levels, as the boost is not needed then.

THRU JACKS (8 & 9)
These jacks are intended for the use of linking multiple PVXp™ 15 enclosures in a line or to provide a feed to
a powered subwoofer, or other electronics that needs to receive a full-range version of the input signal. The
connectors available are a male XLR jack (8), and a 1/4” TRS phone jack (9).
CAUTIONS:
The unit must be disconnected from the AC power source before any work is done on it. Refer all servicing to
qualified service personnel.
The back plate can become hot to the touch. Do not block or cover the fan or the exhaust louvers from
ventilation. There must be a minimum of 4” of space behind the fan. Do not allow the airflow to be become
blocked by objects such as curtains or drapes, thermal building insulation, etc. It is recommended that the rear
of the PVXp 15 not be placed in a closed space or a space that has no fresh, cool airflow.
Be sure to keep the microphone away from the front of the speaker after connecting it to the input, and while
setting the microphone level, or very loud feedback will occur! Damage to the system is likely if this occurs!
DO NOT connect the inputs of the PVXp 15 to the output of a power amplifier. The inputs are meant to be driven
from a line-level strength signal.
DO NOT remove the protective metal grilles.
WARNING! The PVXp 15 is very efficient and powerful! This sound system can permanently damage hearing!
Use extreme care when setting the overall maximum loudness!
The apparent sound level of the PVXp 15 can be deceiving due to its clear, clean sound output. The lack of
distortion or obvious distress can make the sound level seem much lower than it actually is. This system is
capable of SPLs in excess of 127 dB at 1 M from the speaker!
FLYING THE PVXp 15
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION FOR THE MOUNTING AND FLYING OF THE PEAVEY PVXp 15
CAUTION: Before attempting to suspend this speaker, consult a certified structural engineer. Speaker can
fall from improper suspension, resulting in serious injury and property damage. Other enclosures may NOT
be suspended below one, nor should additional weight be suspended from one of these units. Use only the
correct mating hardware. All associated rigging is the responsibility of others.
Maximum enclosure angle from vertical hang is 30 degrees.
Always use a suitable safety chain or wire rope, attached to an unused group of fly points or to the cabinet as
directed by a certified structural engineer, and firmly attached to a suitable structural member as indicated by a
certified structural engineer.
The recommended range of torque for the mounting bolts is 3.5 to 4.0 foot-lbs. (4.75 to 5.42 N-m). DO NOT
OVERTIGHTEN! If an insert spins free, it has been damaged, and the cabinet can not be safely flown from that
set of inserts!
Never transport the cabinet while mounted on an array bracket or other mounting bracket, as this may unduly
stress the mounting inserts.
The use of threadlocker (blue type/medium strength) on the mounting bolts is recommended, as are the
appropriate lock washers, to ensure that the mounting hardware will not vibrate loose over time.
GROUPING OF INSERT SETS
Group A
A set of two M10 inserts on the top, designed to hang the cabinet using the proper eyebolts.
Group B
A set of two M10 inserts on the bottom, designed to hang the cabinet using the proper eyebolts.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Group C
A set of four M8 inserts on the top, designed to be used with the Peavey® Versamount™ 70+ mounting bracket.
Group D
A set of four M8 inserts on the right side, designed to be used with the Peavey Versamount 70+ mounting
bracket.
Group E
A set of four M8 inserts on the bottom, designed to be used with the Peavey Versamount 70+ mounting bracket.
For Group A and B, always use both inserts as a pair; NEVER use just one insert to fly a cabinet!
For Group C, D and E, Always use all four inserts of a given group as a set; NEVER use just one insert to fly a
cabinet! The four insert groupings are meant to have all four inserts used at once within a group.
Group E should only be used with the Versamount 70+ oriented beneath the cabinet, and at an angle less
than 30 degrees from vertical.
SPECIFICATIONS FOR INSERT MATING HARDWARE
Group A and Group B should use an M10 forged steel shoulder-type lifting eyebolt, which meets the requirements
of DIN 580 or ASTM A489. They should only be used in pairs, and in conjunction with the rear most pair of M8
inserts on the same surface as a pull-back/aiming adjustment, using M8 eyebolts of a similar specification.
The length of the threaded shank on the eyebolts should not exceed 3/4” (approx. 20 mm), so that it does not
bottom-out in the insert. Thread pitch: 1.5 mm per thread.
Group C and D should use an M8, grade 8.8 or better, 1.25 mm per thread, metric bolt, that does not penetrate
the cabinet beyond the cabinet surface more than 3/4 ” (approx. 20 mm). When using a Peavey Versamount
70+ mounting bracket and lock washer, the length of the bolt should not exceed 1.125” (approx. 30 mm).
Group E should use an M8, grade 8.8 or better, 1.25 mm per thread, metric bolt, that does not penetrate
the cabinet beyond the cabinet surface more than 0.472” (12 mm). When using a Peavey Versamount 70+
mounting bracket and lock washer, the length of the bolt should not exceed 3/4” (approx. 20 mm).
WARNING! (note to structural engineer)
The thread insertion depth past the surface of the cabinet of the end of the mounting bolt should not be more
than 0.787” (20 mm) for insert groups A, B, C and D, and not more than 0.472” (12 mm) for Group E.
If these thread insertion depths are exceeded, then the inserts may be damaged or unseated from the
cabinet, severely compromising the mounting integrity of the cabinet!
For maximum mounting strength, safety and reliability, the bolt threads should engage at least 10 mm of
depth for Group A and B, and at least 8 mm of depth for groups C, D and E.
The PVXp 15 mounting insert groups C, D and E are designed to be used with the Peavey Versamount 70 Plus
mounting bracket (00454470 black, 00454460 white), as well as the Impulse® 15” array bracket (00475780
black, 00479360 white). It can also be used with the Peavey Wall-Mount Speaker Stand (00922940 black,
00487390 white), which will fit into the built-in stand mount cup on the bottom of the cabinet.
CONNECTING AC POWER TO THE PVXp 15
The PVXp 15 comes with a 6-foot IEC connection AC power cord. If you are using an extension cord or power
strip with this powered speaker, make sure it is of good quality and of a sufficient current capacity to maintain
safety and maximize the power output capability of the PVXp 15. For maximum undistorted output, do not
connect any other device to the same extension cord that the PVXp 15 is connected to. Do not exceed the rated
current capacity of the extension cord with the sum total of all units connected to it.
When first plugging in the AC cord, make sure the power switch is in the OFF position, and then turn it ON only
once the power cord has been connected. Built-in muting will engage when the proper sequence of steps is
taken.
SPECIAL NOTE FOR PERMANENT INSTALLATION
When installing the PVXp 15, AC power runs will be used and a certified electrician should be consulted to be sure
that all AC wiring complies with local codes and regulations. It is also advisable to use a cable clip properly affixed

to the cabinet to strain relief the IEC power cord connected to the amplifier module at (2) so the power cord cannot
be pulled out or vibrate loose.
USE OF THE PVXp™15 WITH A SUBWOOFER POLE TUNNEL
The built-in stand-mount cup allows use with the Peavey® SP® 118 Sub and the accessory pole that it is
designed to use, Peavey part #00326530. The pole used is 51-3/4" long and has a nominal diameter of 1-3/8".
Always be sure to place the subwoofer used in this manner on a flat, level and stable surface.
USE OF THE PVXp 15 WITH A SPEAKER STAND
The PVXp 15 has a stand-mount cup molded-in so that the system 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 PVXp 15 (51 lbs./23.2 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 that people 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, as it can be hard to “thread the needle” and mate the stand cup to the stand pole while holding
the PVXp 15 speaker system at arm’s length. It is also helpful if someone holds the speaker stand and
pole down while the PVXp 15 is removed from the stand pole. This prevents the PVXp 15 from pulling the
pole up with it.
When using stands outdoors, never attach banners or flags to the stands or the PVXp 15 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 PVXp™15 speaker
system from being blown over.
CONNECTING A SIGNAL TO THE PVXp 15
There are a variety of ways to input a signal to the PVXp 15.
The input (4) provides either a balanced mic- or line-level input, allowing the use of a 1/4" TRS (tip-ring-sleeve)
type phone plug or a male XLR plug.
Do not connect 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 cable will work well and the balanced input circuitry will provide some
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 PVXp 15 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 PVXp 15, 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 PVXp 15. It is usually a good idea to leave some slack at the input to the PVXp 15
and also to tape the cables down or run them under a cable guard to avoid anyone tripping over them or pulling
the PVXp 15 over when stand mounted.
LEVEL CONTROL ADJUSTMENT
The PVXp 15 is equipped with a Level control (6) on the input to facilitate use in many different applications.
With the Level control adjusted fully clockwise, gain is at maximum and the input sensitivity is 0.54 V RMS for

full-rated output with the 1/4” TRS jack, and 0.12 V RMS with the XLR portion of the jack. When driving the
PVXp™ 15 from a mixer, it may be advantageous to reduce the input sensitivity by turning the Level control to
the halfway point. The PVXp 15 will now more closely match a typical power amp.
If the mixing board indicates clipping of its output signals, then all of the PVXp 15 power capability is not being
utilized cleanly. Clipping the signal before it gets to the PVXp 15 is not optimal. Reduce the mixer output
level and turn up the Level control on the PVXp 15. The amplifiers in the PVXp 15 are equipped with DDT™,
and the LED indicator will show when DDT has engaged. If the sound seems heavily compressed, check these
indicators; if it is blinking RED more than occasionally, then the drive level from the mixer (or the Level control
on the PVXp 15) needs to be reduced.
When first turning on the sound system, switch on all upstream electronics first, then the PVXp 15 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 PVXp 15 Level control set to the desired setting (one-third
recommended to start).
It is not good practice to turn the Level control on the PVXp 15 all the way up and then try to control level only
from the mixer; this approach would tend to pick up excess noise. The best practice would be to run a “hot”
signal from the mixer down the cable to the PVXp 15, and then turn the PVXp 15 Level control up only as much
as necessary to reach the full desired output. With this approach, it is necessary to verify the mixer output is
not clipping.
DISCONNECTING AC POWER TO THE PVXp 15
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.
TROUBLESHOOTING
No Output at All
First, make sure the unit has AC power and is turned ON. Make sure the LED on the power amp module is
illuminated.
If not, make certain the ON/OFF switch (3) is in the ON position and check the IEC power cord connection (2)
by ensuring it is fully engaged and seated. Make certain the AC line cord is plugged into a working AC outlet.
Finally, check the breaker (1). (See the Rear Panel: Breaker section, for safety instructions.)
Once assured your unit is getting AC power, check that the PVXp 15 is getting a signal. Temporarily disconnect
the cable running to its inputs and connect it to some other device capable of reproducing the signal (i.e., a
power amp and speaker). If this produces a signal, make sure that all Level controls being used have been
turned up to a satisfactory level (one-third to halfway).
If the PVXp 15 has been subjected to direct sunlight or excessive heat, the built-in thermal protection may have
been triggered. If so, turn off the PVXp 15 and let it cool for a sufficient amount of time.
If there is still no output, contact your authorized Peavey® dealer or the Peavey International Service Center.
Hum or Buzz
If the PVXp 15 is producing a hum or buzz, this can be AC outlet related. Try plugging the PVXp 15 into a
different AC outlet. Sometimes, if a different circuit (breaker) is used for the mixer and for the PVXp 15, it can
cause hum problems. Unless it is not practical, it is best to use the same wall outlet (breaker) to supply power
to both the mixer and the powered speaker.
Ensure that shielded cables have been used to route the signal to the PVXp 15’s input. If speaker cables with
1/4" plugs are used as input cables instead of shielded cables, they will be prone to hum or buzz.
Hum may be ground loop related. It may be helpful to lift the shield ground (Pin #1) on a balanced cable at the
PVXp 15 end. Check any input changes carefully by first turning down the Level control, before plugging and
unplugging cables, or lifting the shield ground at the speaker end.

Check to make sure light dimmers are not on the same circuit as the PVXp™ 15, the mixer or any source devices.
If light dimmers are used, then it may be necessary to turn them fully ON or fully OFF to eliminate or reduce
hum. This is a typical AC wiring/light dimmer interference problem, not a design flaw of the PVXp 15.
The third wire (ground plug) on the AC plug should NEVER be removed or broken off, as this is a potential safety
hazard.
Distorted or Fuzzy Sound
First, ensure the mixer (signal source) is not clipping or being overdriven. Make sure the Level (6) control on the
PVXp 15 has not been set too low. Check that the input plug is fully seated in the input jack on the rear panel of
the PVXp 15. Ensure that a power amp has not been plugged into the input jack of the PVXp 15. If an extension
cord is being used to provide the AC power to the unit, ensure that it is of sufficient current capacity and that it
is not also being used to supply power to any other device.
The PVXp 15 has a built-in Contour EQ button to extend and smooth the natural response of the speakers in the
system. When the Contour button is engaged, some Bass boost and HF EQ have been applied and the system
then has a nominally balanced response for background music, so it should require little, if any, additional
EQ. If excessive additional bass boost or HF boost have been added externally to the PVXp 15, it could cause
premature overload at high SPL. Reduce the amount of any external (mixer, rack) EQ and see if that clears up
the distortion.
Check to make sure that a line level signal is not being input through the XLR jack, this has 13 dB more gain
than the 1/4” TRS jack, and could be overloading with high mixer output levels.
Finally, realize that even though the PVXp 15 is a powerful and high output unit, it does ultimately have limits,
and it may need additional powered units (or a subwoofer) to provide enough sound output or coverage. In this
case, try turning the mixer levels down a little to see if that clears things up. If, after checking all the things
listed to check and anything else you can think of to check safely, and the system still exhibits problems,
carefully note all conditions and check with your Peavey dealer for advice.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Your PVXp 15 is a sturdy and durable product and will provide years of reliable use if properly cared for. Use
common sense and read the safety warnings to avoid hazardous operating conditions.
The unit must be disconnected from the AC power source before any work is done on it. Refer all servicing to
qualified service personnel.
Sunlight/Heat
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, as this may cause the unit to overheat and thermally shut off.
Excessively hot operating conditions can also cause a thermal shutdown. Do not store in extremely hot or cold
conditions or extremely high humidity. Always allow unit to come to room temperature before use.
Cleaning
Never clean the PVXp 15 while plugged in or turned ON! When the unit has been fully disconnected from AC
power sources, use a dry cloth to remove soil or other dirt. Never use strong solvents on the PVXp 15, as they
could damage the cabinet. Do not allow ANY fluids to drip inside the PVXp 15.
Touchup
For an overall finish enhancement and protective coating, use gloves to apply a plastic finish protector, such as
Armor-All® protectant or a similar product, to the surface of the plastic cabinet only. Note that the cabinet will be
slippery after these treatments; rub them down vigorously with a dry, lint-free cloth to minimize this.
Check for Secure Hardware
After the first few months of use and periodically thereafter, check the hardware of the PVXp 15 for tightness,
including the rear panel screws and the screws that hold the baffle and rear cabinet together. The unit is subject
to a great deal of vibration, and this could cause them to loosen with use.

titanium diaphragm dynamic compression driver. The nominal radiation pattern shall be 100° in the horizontal
plane, and 50° in the vertical plane. Axis of the vertical main polar lobe is angled down 10 degrees, resulting in
the angular pattern with respect to straight ahead being +15, -35 degrees.
The powered, bi-amplified loudspeaker system shall have an input channel consisting of a medium impedance
input connector consisting of one combo female XLR and 1/4” TRS phone jack on the rear panel.
The input section shall have a Contour EQ system activated by a pushbutton that provides for boost at the low
and high frequencies of about 5 dB relative to the midrange.
There shall be a group of Thru (output) connectors consisting of a male XLR jack, and a 1/4” TRS phone jack.
The system power amplifiers shall have an unfiltered frequency response of 20 Hz to 20 kHz which deviates no
more than +0, -3 dB up to rated power, a damping factor greater than 100 @ 1 kHz into 8 ohms, hum and noise
better than 90 dB below rated power, and THD and IMD of less than 0.5%.
The woofer amplifier shall be capable of 325W continuous before thermal pull-back to into an 8 ohm nominal load,
and the tweeter amplifier shall be capable of 75W continuous output into a 8 ohm load, and both shall incorporate
independent DDT™ compression.
The input signal shall be electronically divided into high frequencies and low frequencies by a staggered
pole fourth order slope line-level crossover at 2.8 kHz. The low frequencies shall be processed to provide
bass boost, subsonic filtering and overall response shaping, and the high frequencies shall be equalized for
response-shaping.
