PVXp 10
Polarity Switch on Sub (7): Normal or IN
Crossover Frequency Control (9): From 12 o'clock to full clockwise. This represents a range from approximately
110 Hz to 160 Hz for the crossover point. Recommended optimal setting is full clockwise position.
Level Controls (6): PVXp Sub Level control at 12 o'clock (0 dB), PVXp10 Level control at 12 o'clock

PVXp 12
Polarity Switch on Sub (7): Normal or IN
Crossover Frequency Control (9): From 12 o'clock to full clockwise. This represents a range from approximately
110 Hz to 160 Hz for the crossover point.
Recommended optimal setting is set to two tics past 12 o'clock.
Level Controls (6): PVXp sub Level control at 12 o'clock (0 dB), PVXp 12 Level control at - 2 tics before 12 o'clock
PVXp 15
Polarity Switch on Sub (7): Normal or IN
Crossover Frequency Control (9): From 12 o'clock to full clockwise. This represents a range from approximately
110 Hz to 160 Hz for the crossover point.
Recommended optimal setting is set to 12 o'clock.
Level Controls (6): PVXp Sub Level control at 12 o'clock (0 dB), PVXp 12 Level control at - 2 tics before 12 o'clock
CAUTION! SETTING THE CROSSOVER FREQUENCY CONTROL TOO LOW MAY ALLOW THE SATELLITE SPEAKER TO
BE OVERLOADED BY DEEP BASS AT HIGH SPL !
Setting the control lower DOES NOT increase the deep bass output of the PVXp Sub, a middle (12 o'clock) to
higher setting works best for most speakers.
If the PVXp series speakers are not set on top of the Subwoofer on the pole, then the polarity switch settings
may need to be different than what is provided here. The Crossover Frequency Control may need to be set to a
lower point in order for the Subwoofer and the satellites to sum well through the crossover region. The settings
outlined above will work the best when the satellite speaker and the Subwoofer are closer together, and
essentially the same distance from the audience.
SETTING THE PVXp SUB CONTROLS FOR USE WITH OTHER SATELLITE SPEAKERS
Crossover Frequency Control (9): In general, for smaller full-range speakers to be used as satellites, set the
Crossover Frequency Control (9) to a higher frequency setting. For larger full-range speakers, set the Crossover
Frequency Control (9) to a lower frequency setting. Setting the Crossover Frequency Control very much below
the 12 o'clock position will not be needed most of the time, as a crossover frequency below 100 Hz is not going
to allow the PVXp Sub and the satellite speaker to add together very well in the crossover region.
Polarity Switch (7): Try changing the Polarity Switch setting back and forth at each selected crossover frequency,
so as to determine which switch position provides the most bass output in the crossover region
Level Controls (6): Start with the PVXp Sub Level control in the 12 o'clock position, and adjust the satellite
speaker system to match it's level. Note that if the Subwoofer can be heard as a distinctly separate sound
source, then it is probably set too high in level.

SETTING THE KOSMOS C BASS ENHANCE CONTROL (10)
The Kosmos C Bass Enhance control can add apparent bass extension and output to the reproduced sound,
®
especially when the program material has significant content below the PVXp Sub's cut-off frequency.
When appropriate, judicious use can enhance the enjoyment of the music, and add punch and boom to the mix.
However, setting the control to higher than optimal level can result in a perception of noticeable distortion or
less clear bass sounds. Seldom will it be helpful to turn the control all the way up.
Typical use will involve a setting of the control knob somewhere between Off (full counter clockwise) and 12
o'clock (half-way up). Then the added effect is more subtle and less intrusive during certain moments in the
music, while still providing a welcome enhancement of the overall sound.
