LINE CORD - 120 V products only (5)
A For your safety, we have incorporated a three-wire line (mains) cable with proper grounding
facilities. It is not advisable to remove the ground pin under any circumstances. If it is
necessary to use the equipment without proper grounding facilities, suitable grounding
adaptors should be used. Less noise and greatly reduced shock hazard exists when the unit
is operated with properly grounded receptacles.
SPEAKER OUTPUTS (6)
Provided for connection of external speaker(s). Minimum total impedance is 4 ohms per
channel.
DDT™ COMPRESSION (7)
Each of the two internal power amplifiers is equipped with Peavey’s patented DDT™ Compression.
The DDT™ circuits will automatically engage to prevent clipping distortion within the power amplifiers.
Compression is defeated when the pushbutton is “in.” DDT™ should be enabled at all times to protect
speakers.
INPUT SENSITIVITY (8)
Maximum input gain (minimum sensitivity rating) is achieved at the full clockwise setting. A setting of less
than
full
clockwise
will
yield
lower
system
noise
at
the
expense
of
headroom.
Calibration
indicates
sensitivity
in volts/dBV necessary to attain full available output.

CHANNEL INPUTS (9)
Standard 1/4" phone jacks with a special switching function to allow two modes of operation:
a. For normal STEREO operation, each jack is used as the input to the respective channel
(see figure 1 page 6).
b. For dual-channel MONO operation, the A input jack may be used by inserting the plug only to the
first “click” or detent (see figure 2, page 6). In this mode, the signal source is applied equally to
both channels.
