1. VOLUME CONTROL
This control (level slider) determines the volume of the MIC.-LINE inputs 1 to 4.
2. CONTROL LED‘s AUTOMATIC SYSTEM
Green LED indicators light when the automatic system allows input signal. If the input is not addressed, the
control LED remains dark and the input „GATE“ remains closed.
3. BYPASS SHIFTER
With this switch, the feedback limiter can be switched to BYPASS, the control LED does not light up.
4. FREQUENCY SHIFT CONTROL
This control adjusts the desired frequency shift. The control range is between 3 Hz and max. 8 Hz up in the
whole bandwidth from 20 Hz to 20 kHz.
Due to the frequency shift, the „whistling sound“ (feedback between microphone and loudspeakers) oc-
curring in the signal can be additionally eliminated after the audio calibration of the system. After that, the
quality losses of the audio signal remain barely perceptible.
5. LED CONTROL SHIFTER
Lights up when the feedback limiter is switched on.
6. AMPLITUDE CONTROL (PARAMETRIC EQ)
This control, also referred to as frequency gain, adjusts the amount of attenuation of the selected frequency.
7. FREQUENCY SELECTOR SWITCH (PARAMETRIC EQ)
This control adjusts the desired frequency for parametric EQ.
8. MULTIPLICATOR SWITCH (PARAMETRIC EQ)
Selector switch for multiplication of the set frequency by factor x1 or factor x10.

Thank you for purchasing the POWERVOICE automatic mixing amplier from Phoenix Professional Audio.
In order to use it correctly and to be able to use all the technical possibilities offered by the POWERVOICE
amplier, you must carry out a spatial adjustment or room equalization after installation. To realize a room
measurement, you need a measuring device. The minimum is the NTI Audio® Mini-Analyzer or professional
measurement software such as MLSSA.
For a practical measurement the measuring microphone has to be positioned exactly at the place where later
the audience will be (f.i. for church acoustics in the middle of the church). By generating „PINK NOISE“ to the
POWERVOICE amplier you measure the amplitude frequency response with the measuring microphone.
If the frequency response determined does not have the desired characteristics, room adjustment lters (EQ)
are used for adjustment by increasing or lowering the frequency spectrum in determined areas (see Fig. No.1).
Repeat the measurement and correction process until a linearity arises (see Fig. No.2).
In big halls or in bigger distance from the signal sources (f.i. speakers) a treble reduction occurs. For reverberant
rooms it makes sense to concentrate additionally on the equalization of low frequencies up to 100-800 Hz. In
this frequency range is the highest reverberation effect.
It has been shown that it is important to be careful with the equalization. The efciency of the speaker and the
amplier should always be taken into account.

ROOM EQUALIZATION

Instruction manual
- 13 -
PV-5D.2-2U
™
ROOM EQUALIZATION
Equalization for positive feedback suppression
The positive feedback between microphone and loudspeaker generates the so-called feedback, which always
starts at the frequency at which the transmission curve has the strongest maximum. This can be attenuated
by the automatic feedback limiter included in the POWERVOICE amplier as follows:
First you should reduce the disturbing frequency with the G-EQ by a desired value (dB). Then generate feedback
again by increasing the microphone sensitivity. Measure the occurring frequency (Hz) and correct it with the
next or corresponding G-EQ.
The automatic mixer amplier PV-5D.2-2U (POWERVOICE) series has 21 graphic input EQ.
As a result, acoustically difcult rooms can be better equalized and the microphone sensitivity can be increased without
disturbing feedback. After the audio leveling by the frequency compensation, the frequency SHIFTER can now be tuned
in for safety.
