PV®14AT and PV®14BT
Compact Mixers
Congratulations on purchasing the Peavey PV®14AT or PV®14BT Compact Mixer. The PV®14AT and PV®14BT are studio-quality mixing con-
soles designed to meet diverse needs while occupying a small space. These are the perfect consoles for small venue performances or home record-
ing environments. PV series mixers feature built-in DSP effects that are useful in real-world recording and sound reinforcement, while parameter
controls allow you to tailor each effect to meet your needs.
The PV 14BT includes 8 channels of reference-quality mic preamps, 8 direct outputs for recording, a stereo channel, media channel with Blue-
tooth wireless input, high quality digital effects with LCD display, streaming USB out, MP3 playback via USB A input, Peavey's exclusive Kosmos
audio enhancement, 48 volt phantom power, dual selectable control room outputs, 4 channels of compression, one channel of on board selectable
guitar preamp, 3-band EQ per channel with bypass, channel mute buttons, aux send, signal clip indicators, and a stereo master LED meter bridge.
This amazingly versatile mixer is at home both in the studio as well as live applications. Its modern features such as Bluetooth allow seamless
connection to almost any "smart" device. 8 direct outs allow easy connection to most DAW interfaces for recording; in addition, the PV 14 BT can
stream audio directly to a PC. MP3 playback is also available, just plug a flash drive with MP3 files on it into the USB A port and use the LCD to
select and playback music. The PV series Solo feature allows the user to listen to individual channels via headphone or control room outputs and
the EQ bypass allows the user to compare the EQ'd signal to the original signal with the push of a button. 4 Channels of compression keep signals
with difficult levels under control, and Peavey's exclusive guitar-shape adjusts the EQ and preamp specifically for guitar. Hi pass filters on every
channel remove unwanted rumble and noise, and balanced AUX and Master outputs ensure a clean noise free signal to your powered speakers or
power amplifier. The all new PV series non-powered mixers represent the pinnacle of performance and value. Combine Peavey's legendary reli-
ability and our 5 year warranty and you can be assure of years of quality reliable service, we guarantee it.
In addition to all of these features, the PV14AT features 4 channels of Antares® world-famous Autotune®, which can be set to subtly tighten up
vocal harmonies, or it can be set for robotic vocal effects heard in today's popular music. Peavey's exclusive custom key feature makes it a snap to
auto-tune to any scale you can think of, in a live performance. It is so easy and fast, you can set it up between songs, right in the middle of a set.
Please read this guide carefully to ensure your personal safety as well as the safety of your equipment.

13 EFX SEND
This control adjusts the level of the channel signal added to the effects mix. The signal is sent to the internal effects processor. Turning the knob to
the left (min) will turn off effects on the associated channel, while turning the knob to the right will increase the amount of the selected effect. The
effects send signal is taken after the channel level (18) so that adjustments made to the fader will also affect the send level.
14 PAN CONTROL
This knob controls the placement of the signal in the stereo field. When rotated completely counterclockwise‚ the signal is present only on the left
channel; when rotated completely clockwise‚ only in the right channel. This control functions as a balance control to adjust the relative level of the
left and right signals on stereo channels 9/10 and 11/12. (Note 1/4" inputs on ch 9/10 and 13/14 are mono unless both are connected, then they
switch to stereo)
15 MUTE SWITCH
Pressing this switch will silence the channel signal going to the main mix, aux send, and effects. The mute switch will not affect the signal sent to
the solo system.
16 CLIP/MUTE LED
This LED normally indicates that the channel signal level is near clipping (distortion), but it also lights when mute is engaged. The clip indicator
circuit monitors the signal after the gain control, after the EQ, and after the main level; because clipping can be caused by high settings of any
of these controls. It illuminates at +15 dBu with a static signal (test tone), and corresponds to audible clipping with a highly dynamic signal (i.e.
piano). When lit, it warns that the gain or EQ boost should be reduced. When it lights, roughly 5 dB of headroom remains. An optimized setting
of input gain + EQ will result in this LED flashing briefly on the loudest peaks.
17 SIGNAL LED
The signal LED lights when the channel level reaches approximately -20 dBu. This not only indicates which channels are active, but also serves as
a mini level meter. Because its illumination varies with the signal source, it is useful in identifying which channel is carrying a particular source.
18 CHANNEL LEVEL FADER
This is the channel's output control, which sets the signal level sent to the left and right mix and the effects send control. The gain is 0 dB
(unity gain) when set to the center mark inside the rectangular graphic. 10 dB of boost is available at the max gain setting. Normal operation
is to start with this knob at the center mark, and set the input gain and EQ with the source playing such that normal levels are seen at the sig-
nal /clip LED's and the main meter array. As additional sources are added, it is normal to move this fader down slightly to prevent overdriving
the main mix bus.

19 SOLO SWITCH AND LED
When the Solo switch is engaged, the yellow LED lights, as does the yellow Solo LED under the main L/R meter array in the master sec- 3.5mm STEREO
tion, indicating that the Solo system is now active. The Solo system is a separate mix bus that routes the soloed channel(s) at unity gain to
the level meters for precise input level setting, and to the control room monitor and headphone outputs for critical listening to the selected
L 5
source(s). When the Solo system is active, the complete mix will no longer be heard through the control room or headphones; only the soloed
channel(s). DIRECT OUT DIRECT OUT DIRECT OUT DIRECT OUT

49 EFX SELECT KNOB
See detailed description on the following page.
EFX Mode:
In EFX Edit Mode (see Auto-Tune Switch), the EFX Select knob is used to navigate through the EFX presets. Turning the knob changes the
EFX preset in the display. The new selection will be blinking in the display; push the EFX Select knob to choose the new effect. Once the ef-
fect has been selected, you can now edit the effect. To do this, press the EFX Select knob and the display will change to the current parameter
setting of the preset. Turn the EFX Select knob to edit the parameter. Press the knob again to exit EFX preset edit mode. To restore the EFX
presets back to factory settings, press and hold the EFX Select knob for 5 seconds and select "Y" when prompted.
Auto-Tune Mode:
In Auto-Tune Edit Mode (see Auto-Tune Switch), the EFX Select knob is used to navigate through the Auto-Tune presets. Turning the knob
changes the Auto-Tune preset in the display. The new selection will be blinking in the display; push the EFX Select knob to choose the new
Auto-Tune preset.
Once the preset has been selected, you can edit the preset by pressing the EFX Select knob. The display will change to the current Key setting.
Turn the EFX Select knob to change the key and push the EFX Select knob when you have chosen the key you desire. The Key setting deter-
mines which notes are enabled in the Auto-Tune process. For example, in the key of CMaj, the notes C, D, E, F, G, A, and B are enabled, and all
other notes are disabled. To see which notes are enabled or disabled for each key, see the Key Table below.
Note:
If Custom Key is selected, the display will enter Custom Key Edit Mode. In this mode, you can create a custom Auto-Tune Key. Use
the EFX Select knob to select the Root (labeled "RT"). This will be the note off which the custom key is based. Then use the
Media Select knob to move the cursor and use the EFX Select knob to activate or deactivate the 12 notes in the key. Once you have
finished editing the custom key, press the EFX Select knob to exit Custom Key Edit Mode. The mixer is capable of storing 9 different
custom keys, one for each preset slot.
The scale degrees are numbered across the top, with half-steps indicated by a dash.
*RT= Root or Key
RT
By looking at the sequence of allowed and disallowed notes above, this is a whole tone scale. There are only two of those, so you can have the
other one just by changing the root to C# or B.
*This screen cap shows an A blues scale. You don't have to edit the whole scale to change keys - just change the root.
Once you have selected the key and pressed the EFX Select knob, the display will change to the current Speed setting. Turn the EFX Select
knob to change the Speed setting. The Speed setting determines how quickly and aggressively the Auto-Tune will correct the pitch. The range
for this setting is 0 to 25, where 0 is the quickest and 25 is the slowest. Push the EFX Select knob when you are done editing the speed param-
eter.
The display will now change to the current Detune setting. Turn the EFX Select knob to change the Detune setting. The Detune setting
determines how the Auto-Tune pitch correction is calibrated. When the Detune setting is 0 cents, this means the Auto-Tune is calibrated to
the standard A440, or where the note A4 equals 440 Hz. The range of the Detune setting is -64 to 63 cents, a width of 128 cents. The distance
between two notes, or semitones, is 100 cents, which means that the Auto-Tune can be detuned to fit any possible environment.
Note:
Detuning the Auto-Tune can be very useful, especially when being used in conjunction with an instrument that is not easily tuned
on-the-fly. For example, if a piano is accompanying Auto-Tuned vocals and the piano is slightly out of tune from the A440 stan
dard, simply change the Detune setting in the Auto-Tune setting. This is much easier and takes much less time than having some
one tune the entire piano! Also, although the Detune setting is changed in the Auto-Tune preset edit mode, this is a global param
eter. This means if you change the Detune setting and then later change the Auto-Tune preset, the Detune setting will not change.
Once you have selected the appropriate Detune setting, press the EFX Select knob to exit Auto-Tune preset edit mode. To restore all Auto-
Tune presets back to factory settings, press and hold the EFX Select knob for 5 seconds and select "Y" when prompted.
Note:
Preset 9 is chromatic with speed set to 7. It is recommended for general purpose, safe, easy use of Autotune, without having to
adjust any settings. The slower speed setting does not produce a robotic effect on the voice, and all twelve semitones are allowed.
Just remember to use footswitch #2 to bypass Autotune between songs, otherwise your speaking will be Autotuned!
