Electric Guitar Pre-Shape
Engaging this button optimizes the on board equalization for guitar.
Signal Presence/Clip LED
is LED helps in setting the gain control. Gain (3) should be adjusted so that the green LED
ashes in time with the source, and turns red only on the loudest peaks. If adding EQ results in
clipping (red LED), compensate here by reducing gain (3). e red clipping LED lights when
roughly 5dB of headroom remains.
Gain
e Input Gain control is used to establish proper gain structure in the channel. e input gain
can be adjusted over a wide range to compensate for so voices or very loud drums. To maxi-
mize the signal-to-noise ratio, the gain should be set to the proper level, with the Level Knob
(10) set to 0. If the clip LED comes on and remains lit, try reducing the gain.
High EQ
is High EQ shelving type of active tone control varies the treble frequencies (+/- 15 dB at 12
kHz) and is designed to remove noise or add brilliance to the signal, depending on the quality of
the source.
Mid EQ
Where most mid-range controls work at just one frequency, the Mid-Morph works at two. When
turned counterclockwise, it cuts at 250 Hz to reduce frequencies that muddy the sound. When
turned clockwise, it boosts at 4 kHz to add intelligibility to vocals. Either way, improved vocal or
instrument denition can be achieved.
Low EQ
A shelving type of EQ that varies the bass frequency levels (+/- 15 dB at 80 Hz). Low EQ adds
depth to thin-sounding signals or cleans up the muddy ones. As with any EQ, use sparingly. Too
much of this EQ can give you a booming bottom end. Caution: Excessive low frequency boost
causes greater power consumption and increases the possibility of speaker damage.
EQ Bypass
Engaging this button bypasses the equalization of the channel.
EFX Send
is control adjusts the level of the channel signal added to the eects mix. e signal is sent
to the internal eects processor (PV6 BT) or the EFX send jack (PV6). Turning the knob to the
le (min) will turn o eects on the associated channel, while turning the knob to the right will
increase the amount of the selected eect.
Pan
is knob controls the placement of the signal in the stereo eld. When rotated completely coun-
terclockwise‚ the signal is present only on the le channel; when rotated completely clockwise‚
only in the right channel. is control functions as a balance control to adjust the relative level of
the le and right signals on stereo channels.
Channel Level
is controls the output level of the channel into the main mix. e gain is 0 dB when set to the
detent at mid-rotation (12:00). 10 dB of boost is available at the max gain setting. Normal opera-
tion is to start with this knob at the detent, and set the input gain and EQ with the source playing
such that normal levels are seen at the bicolor LED and the main meter array. As additional
sources are added, it is normal to turn this knob down slightly.

Two-way Audio Input Selector
Allows you to select between a 1/4" and RCA audio input.
Balance
Adjusts relative levels of le and right channels.
Level
Adjusts the level of the source selected by (11).
Global Compressor Enable Button
When depressed, the compressor is enabled.
LED Meters
Two six-segment LED arrays are provided to monitor the levels of the
main le/right outputs. ese meters range from -18 dBu to +19dBu.
e highest green LED corresponds to +4 dBu at the outputs.
Digital Return Level
Controls the signal level coming in to the USB digital audio port, typi-
cally from a USB-equipped computer. e nominal setting is near 12:00
for this control.
To Control Room
When depressed, USB digital audio return is routed to the control
room and headphone outputs. Use this setting when recording with
DAW soware to avoid unintended loops.
To Main
When depressed, USB digital audio return is routed to the Main sum-
ming amp. is setting is recommended only when there is a
requirement to playback through the main outputs, at which time the
DAW soware must have input monitoring disabled.
Beware of creating an unintended loop, which results in very
LOUD and uncontrolled oscillation that can damage loudspeak-
ers and eardrums!
RCA Connectors for Monitor
Connect powered monitors, or an amplier feeding monitor speakers here. Set the volume controls on the monitors A
and B to be equal when the A/B switch is toggled. e signal sent to this output is normally the Le/Right mix.
When the "To Control Room" switch (17) is engaged, the USB return signal is also sent to the Monitor Outputs.
A/B Toggle Switch
When depressed, the A outputs are muted and the B outputs are on. When raised, the A outputs are on and the B outputs
are muted. is allows the easy checking of a computer DAW mix on two dierent sets of monitors.
Monitor Level
Use this control to set the listening level in your control room monitors. e optimum setting for this control is 12:00, so monitor
amplier levels (or powered monitor levels) should be adjusted with this knob at 12:00. ere is an additional 17 dB of gain available
on this pot at the max position.
Phantom Power
is Switch applies +48 VDC voltage to the input XLR connectors to power microphones requiring phantom power.
If phantom power is used, do not connect unbalanced dynamic microphones or other devices to the XLR
inputs that cannot handle this Voltage.
EFX Level
is is the master output level control for the EFX mix. e output level sent to the EFX Send jack is controlled by the Channel Level
Control (10), the channel EFX Send controls (8), and by this master control. e 12:00 position is the recommended setting for this
control.
Headphone Level
is knob sets the headphone and control room output levels. To avoid damage to your hearing‚ make sure to turn the dial fully coun-
terclockwise before using headphones. Slowly turn the knob clockwise until you reach a comfortable listening level.
Compressor Control
Adjusting this knob clockwise lowers the threshold of the compressor, thereby increasing the amount of compression. e compressor
ratio is in the 4:1 range, varying with signal levels and the amount of compression. is is useful for controlling peak levels from live
sources. e compressor is aer the master level control(26), and before the main outs (35) and the USB port(39), so it can be used to
tame vocals being recorded into a DAW. You can audition the eect of the compressor by switching it in and out with the Enable
switch (14). When the compressor is active, the adjacent red LED will illuminate.
Level
is is the master level control, which controls the overall level sent to the main outputs (35) and the USB port (39).
Headphone Output
e Headphone Output is a 1⁄4” TRS (Tip= Le; Ring = Right; Sleeve = Ground) jack. e signal sent to this output is normally the
Le/Right mix. When the "To Control Room" switch (17) is engaged, the USB return signal is also sent to the headphones.

MIC/LINE INPUT
is combination input jack can accept either a 1/4” (balanced or unbalanced) input or a XLR balanced, low-impedance connection.
e tip is positive on the 1/4” balanced input, and pin 2 is positive on the XLR. When ELECTRIC GUITAR PRE-SHAPE is depressed,
the channel 1 1/4" input changes to a high impedance (1 MegΩ), like a 12AX7 vacuum tube guitar amplier input.
1/4" TRS Direct Outs
Impedance-balanced outputs fed by the mic preamp. Channel 1 output is aer the ELECTRIC GUITAR PRE-SHAPE switch.
Stereo 3.5mm Input
Accept a stereo input from the output of an MP3 player, CD player, tape deck or other similar device. is input is optimized for por-
table handheld devices and therefore has very high sensitivity.
Stereo Inputs
Channels 3 and 4 feature stereo inputs via 1/4" jack. If only one jack is used, it behaves as a mono source with a pan control. Once both
jacks are connected, it behaves as a stereo source with a balance control; 3 is Le and 4 is Right.
RCA Connection
Accept a stereo input from the output of an MP3 player, CD player, tape deck or other similar device. is input is optimized for por-
table handheld devices and therefore has very high sensitivity.
Stereo
Accept a stereo input from the output of an MP3 player, CD player, tape deck or other similar device. is input is optimized for por-
table handheld devices and therefore has very high sensitivity.
EFX Send
Ground compensated TRS balanced output fed by the EFX SEND master level (23). ese outputs can be used with Tip Ring Sleeve
(TRS) balanced or Tip Sleeve (TS) unbalanced connectors.
Main Out
Ground compensated TRS balanced outputs fed by the master LEVEL control (26). ese outputs can be used with Tip Ring Sleeve
(TRS) balanced or Tip Sleeve (TS) unbalanced connectors.

(TRS) balanced or Tip Sleeve (TS) unbalanced connectors.
Bluetooth® Activation Button
Press and hold this button until the LED blinks 3 times, indicating the Bluetooth has been powered on or o, then release.
Once turned on, the Bluetooth will automatically enter pairing mode. You can pair any Bluetooth-enabled device with the
mixer using the PIN 7878. e mixer will remember up to 10 devices that it was previously paired with and will automatically connect
to the last device with which it was paired when turned on. To clear the paired device memory, make sure the Bluetooth is turned o
and press and hold the button for at least 10 seconds. e LED will initially blink 3 times but then should remain o. Once you have
released the button aer 10 seconds, you can proceed by powering it on as normal, and the memory will be cleared.
Le/Right Outputs
e Le/Right Outputs feature two 1/4" TRS Z-balanced jacks. ese outputs can be used with Tip Ring Sleeve (TRS) balanced or Tip
Sleeve (TS) unbalanced connectors.

POWER SWITCH
is is the main power switch.
USB PORT TYPE B
e USB port is used to connect the PV® Series USB mixer to a computer for recording or playing back digital audio to/from your computer.
e USB port sends the mixer’s main/tape stereo out to the computer. e USB port receives digital audio from the computer; it can then be
assigned through the USB TO Main switch ({18}, PV6; {21}, PV6BT) to the main le/right output, if the computer is being used for playback
only. For recording, use the USB TO CONTROL ROOM control ({17}, PV6; {20}, PV6BT), to avoid creating a loop. Compatible with Win-
dows® Vista, Windows 7, & Windows 8, Mac OS X® 10.0 or later, and iOS devices.
