ENGLISH Introduction Thank you for purchasing the powered Peavey® DM™ 115 powered speaker system. The DM™ 115 features a reliable bi-amped power section that provides a total of 660 Watts of peak available dynamic power with signal compression to prevent audible overload. The analog power amplifiers and linear power supply are coupled with a DSP based crossover and EQ. The LCD display and EQ presets along with other operating parameters are accessed via a one-knob selector.
smooth, even response, low distortion and good high frequency dispersion. Advanced Digital Signal Processing (A.D.S.P.) provides the crossover function, driver limiting, as well as the driver EQ to enable the speaker system to provide an accurate and neutral sound for any type of music. The DSP processing uses 64 bit double-precision to insure accurate and transparent sound processing, and the input/ output sections use a 96 kHz sampling rate at 24 bits for maximum fidelity.

ground pin, a suitable grounding adapter should be used and the third wire should be grounded properly. To prevent the risk of shock or fire hazard, always be sure that the mixer and all other associated equipment are properly grounded. VOLTAGE SELECTOR SWITCH (4) The DM™115 has a voltage selector switch to allow switching between an input power voltage of 120VAC to a range from 220VAC to 240VAC, all at either 50 or 60 cycles per second (Hz).
UPPER REAR PANEL 11 6 12 7 8 9 5 10 INPUT (5) The line-level input is of the medium impedance balanced type. The jack is a combo female XLR and 1/4" TRS connector. Sensitivity of this input is 0.39 volts for full output, when the MIC/LINE switch (7) is in the LINE position GAIN (6) Controls the gain or output level of the input signal. It is used to directly set the system output level for a given input signal.

Pushing the button in till it detents makes a menu choice. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS Cautions The unit must be disconnected from the AC power source before any work is done on it. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. The back plate can become hot to the touch. Do not block or cover the fan or the exhaust louvers from ventilation.
Use of the DM™115 with a Speaker Stand The DM™115 has a stand mount cup molded-in so that the system can be stand mounted on a standard 1 3/8” (36mm) diameter stand pole. When using stands or poles, be sure to follow these precautions: A. Check the stand or pole specs to make sure that it can support the weight of the DM™115 (42 lbs./19.1 kg), and observe all safety precautions stated by the stand manufacturer, including the maximum height the stand is rated for. B.
With the Level control adjusted fully clockwise, gain is at maximum and the input sensitivity is 0.39 V RMS for full-rated output with the line level position of the Mic-Line Switch (7). When driving the DM™115 from a mixer, it may be advantageous to reduce the input sensitivity by turning the Level control to the halfway point. The DM™115 will now more closely match a typical power amp.
Once the desired menu choice is displayed, push in the "Push-to-Select" knob. If the default LCD message display is present (e.g. DM 115 and 01: EDM ), then push in the "Push-to-Select" knob to bring up the menu, which will display the first choice of " Recall preset ". 1. If you have selected " Recall preset " to select a different preset, then push the "Push-to-Select" knob to be able to rotate through the preset choices. An arrow symbol will appear at the left hand margin on the second line.
menu line. If you select “ Cancel ”, then the menu will revert to the " Save Preset " option. At that point, you can rotate the "Push-to-Select" knob and select another menu choice, or start the “ Save Preset ” process over again. You can save a Factory Preset without any changes, and just re-name it, but it must be saved in one of the User Preset locations (11 thru 32).
ent AC outlet. Sometimes, if a different circuit (breaker) is used for the mixer and for the DM™115, it can cause hum problems. Unless it is not practical, it is best to use the same wall outlet (breaker) to supply power to both the mixer and the powered speaker. Ensure that shielded cables have been used to route the signal to the DM™115’s input. If speaker cables with 1/4" plugs are used as input cables instead of shielded cables, they will be prone to hum or buzz. Hum may be ground loop related.
power sources, use a dry cloth to remove soil or other dirt. Never use strong solvents on the DM™115, as they could damage the cabinet. Do not allow ANY fluids to drip inside the DM™115. Touchup For an overall finish enhancement and protective coating, use gloves to apply a plastic finish protector, such as Armor-All® protectant or a similar product, to the surface of the plastic cabinet only.
