GENERAL INFORMATION
Thank you for having chosen a PROEL product.
V PLUS series is the evoluon of the acclaimed V series of PROEL powered loudspeakers delivering absolute value in
terms of performance, engineering and design at a more aordable cost. These ultra-portable speakers combine, in
carefully engineered and light-weight cabinets, the clearest and most accurate PROEL sound with Class D amplier
technology and Switch Mode Power Supply, oering an unbeatable PA soluon at its price point.
The three models, V10PLUS, V12PLUS and V15PLUS, feature an extremely ecient amplier module capable of
delivering 600 W of robust power to the transducers. Thanks to the use of SMPS technology, this power comes in an
ultra-lightweight package, making the V PLUS the most portable PROEL speakers ever. The power module is hosted in a
fully sealed aluminium box, which provides protecon, perfect insulaon of the cabinet from the outside and extremely
ecient cooling.
Thanks to the carefully selected speakers and to the sophiscated acve electronics, including dual CLIP LIMITERS for
an undistorted sound even at the loudest level, the sound of the V PLUS has been precisely tuned in every details, in
order to provide unheard performance in this price range.
The V PLUS cabinets, expression of the most advanced Italian design, include a super-comfortable luggage-style top
handle for an eortless portability. The slanted shape allows the speakers to be laid on their side and used also as stage
monitors.
INSTRUCTIONS (FIG. 1 / 2 / 3)
1. INPUT (combo XLR-JACK input)
This is a female combo connector, which accepts a XLR or a JACK plug from almost any type of equipment with a
balanced or unbalanced outputs. The XLR input is wired as follows:
Pin 1 = shield or ground
Pin 2 = + posive or "hot"
Pin 3 = - negave or "cold"
The JACK input is wired as follows:
Tip = + posive or "hot"
Ring = - negave or "cold"
Sleeve = shield or ground
When connecng an unbalanced signal, wire them as follows:
Pin2 / Tip = + posive or "hot"
Pin 1-3 / Sleeve = shield or ground
NOTE: whenever possible, use always balanced cables. Unbalanced lines may also be used but may result in noise over
long cable runs. In any case, avoid using a balanced cable for one channel and an unbalanced one for the other.
2. LINK (XLR output)
This is a male XLR connector, it is connected in parallel with the respecve INPUT socket, so the LINK is wired as INPUT.
Connect these to the inputs of other powered speakers to make an array.
3. MIC / LINE switch
This switch adjusts the gain of the LINE/MIC input varying the sensivity between MIC, suited to connect a microphone,
and LINE, suited to connect a device with high level output like a MIXER, a CD player etc.
NOTE: do not use the MIC sensivity to "pump up" the volume with the LINE level equipment, in order to avoid the
analogue input saturaon that could produce very annoying distoron.
4. GND LIFT switch
This switch li the ground of the balanced audio inputs from the earth-ground of the amplier. If you have HUM noise
problem on one or more loudspeaker try to change the posion of these switches (oen all up or all down for all the
ampliers in the system). Please note that to have an eect all cables must be balanced.
5. LEVEL control
Rotary level control: it aenuates the level of the signal sent to the INPUT. The aenuaon ranges from “0” fully closed
(the signal is completely aenuated) to “10” fully open, nominal level (the signal is not aenuated in any way, so it is
fed to the internal amplier at the same level at which it arrives on input).
6. LOW control
This control gives you up to 6 dB boost or cut at 90 Hz with a "SHELVING" curve shape. Use it to add or reduce the sound
"punch", or to reduce the low frequency rise when the speaker is set near walls or on oor as stage monitor.
