help Peavey PV 115 FAQ
Is the Peavey PV 115 a bass amplifier?
No. The Peavey PV 115 is a passive two-way PA speaker with a 15-inch woofer, so it requires a separate power amplifier or powered mixer.
What is the Peavey PV 115 used for?
It is intended for live sound reinforcement, such as vocals, instruments, and general stage audio. It is not the same type of product as a combo bass amp, which contains an amplifier and speaker in one cabinet.
Does the Peavey PV 115 need a powered mixer?
Yes, it needs an external amplifier, powered mixer, or suitable powered speaker system to produce sound. Connecting it directly to a guitar, bass, or microphone output will not drive the passive cabinet correctly.
How does the PV 115 compare with an active PA speaker?
An active speaker has its amplifier built into the cabinet, while the PV 115 keeps the amplifier separate. The passive format can work well in a fixed stage system, but it adds amplifier matching and cabling decisions.
