Peavey PV 215 EQ - Manual (Page 8)

LEVEL LED METER (1)
This LED array indicates level from –12 dB to +17 dB.
LEVEL CONTROL (2)
This control regulates overall level of the EQUALIZER SECTION.
Unity gain throughout the signal chain can be maintained by recovering lost signal gain at this point. The
equalization process may result in noticeable signal loss. To compensate for this loss, engage the BYPASS
switch (5) and compare the signal level with that of the equalized level. Increase the LEVEL control until the
equalized level approximates that of the bypassed level. Let your ears be your guide.
EQUALIZER SECTION (3)
These calibrated, detented controls adjust the amount of cut or boost at their respective frequencies. They
are adjustable from -12 dB (cut) to +12 dB (boost).
LOW-CUT FILTER (4)
This switch activates the low-cut filter that rejects frequencies below 40 Hz. Frequency roll-off is 18 dB per
octave with the switch engaged. This filter will operate even with the BYPASS (5) switch engaged. The adjacent
red LED indicates activation.
BYPASS (5)
This switch allows the signal to bypass all features except the LOW-CUT FILTER (4). When this switch is
engaged, the signal is routed from INPUT (10 and 11) though the low-cut filter to the channel's output. Bypass
is indicated by the illumination of the LED located above the switch.
POWER (6)
This 2-position rocker switch applies mains power to the unit when in the ON position. The adjacent red LED
indicates mains power activation.
