ENGLISH ® PV SERIES PROFESSIONAL STEREO POWER AMPLIFIER INTRODUCTION Congratulations! You have just purchased the world’s finest professional power amplifier. The PV amplifier features a two-way crossover and sub-sonic (low-cut) filter for each channel. Crossover frequencies are fixed at 150 Hz, allowing subwoofers to be driven at extremely high sound pressure levels, and the filters cut at 40 Hz to prevent low-end rumble. Using proven technology gained through years of amplifier design, this u

FRONT PANEL FEATURES 5 1 2 3 4 4 3 2 1 (1) INPUT GAIN (dB) These controls are used to adjust the input gain of each channel. They determine how “loud” each channel of the power amplifier will sound for a given input signal level. Maximum input gain is achieved at the fully clockwise setting (+32 dB, 40 X), and this setting yields maximum mixer/system headroom. A setting of less than fully clockwise will yield lower system noise at the expense of mixer/system headroom. Turning the control fu

U.S. DOMESTIC AC MAINS CORD The mains cord supplied with the unit is a heavy-duty, three-conductor type with a conventional 120 VAC plug with ground pin. It should be connected to an independent circuit capable of continuously supporting at least 15 amps. Thi

® (9) SPEAKON OUTPUTS ® PV amplifiers utilize three 4-conductor Speakon connectors, one for each channel and one for BRIDGE mode. Please refer to the BRIDGE MODE section of this manual before attempting to use this mode. For each channel Speakon, the same impedance rules apply as with the binding posts. Internally, all the Speakons are wired in what is called the “high current” mode, with pins 1+ and 2+ in parallel, and pins 1- and 2- in parallel. For the CHANNEL A and CHANNEL B Speakons, the

when relatively short 1/4" cable patches are made to this input from various outputs on this amplifier, or from other equipment that shares the same rack with this amplifier. The quasi-balanced circuitry is “automatic” and virtually “invisible” in normal usage. This feature can be defeated with a jumper on the barrier strip from the “-” input terminal of that channel to the ground terminal.

high-power operating levels occur. Then, as temperatures in the amplifier heat sinks increase, the automatic thermal-sensing circuitry will cause high-speed operation to occur. Depending upon signal conditions and amp loading, high-speed fan operation may continue or the fan may cycle continuously between high and low. This situation is quite normal. If cooling is inadequate, however, the amplifier thermal-sensing system may cause temporary shut down of the unit, indicated by the PWR LEDs on bot

™ (11) SELECTEURDDT (DISTORTION DETECTION TECHNIQUE) Ce sélecteur vous permet d’enclencher ou non la compression DDT. Vous pouvez changer sa position avec un outil approprié (Sélecteur de type ‘pousse-pousse). La position enfoncée garde la compression inactive, la position sortie active. Nous vous conseillons de garder enclenchée la compression DDT pour éviter qu’un ou les deux canaux ne clippent ou se mettent en surcharge. Sans cette protection, votre unité risque de surchauffer plus facilemen

MODE PONT (BRIDGE) Le mode pont est souvent mal compris. Il s’agit d’utiliser les deux cotés de votre unité comme un seul amplificateur dont la puissance est l’addition des puissances de ces canaux et dont la charge minimum de travail est l’addition des charges minimum de ces canaux. Par exemple, le PV1500 est donné à 750 Watts RMS par canal sous 2 Ohms. Le mode pont donnera cette unité à 1500 Watts RMS sous 4 Ohms (charge minimum). Cette opération est effectuée en placant l’interrupteur de mode
