Congratulations! You have just purchased the world’s finest, low-cost power amplifier, the Pv’” 2000. The amplifier features include a 2-way crossover and sub-sonic filter for each channel. The crossover frequency is fixed at 150 Hz, which allows subwoofers to be driven to extremely high sound pressure levels. The sub-sonic filter is fixed at 40 Hz to prevent unwanted low end rumble. This amplifier uses proven technology gained from years of amplifier design, taking advantage of the rugged steel can TO-3 output devices for reliability. Unlike typical home stereo units, the PV 2000 employs massive power transformers, very effective two-speed fan cooling, and offers impressive specifications and features not found on any other competitive unit in this price range. This amplifier was designed to drive 2 ohm loads per channel, thus delivering awesome performance levels at 4 ohm Bridge mode. The PV 2000 offers rugged rack-mountable construction and more than adequate patching capability. The front panel contains a rocker mains switch, an LED power indicator, and dual LED DDT’” activation indicators. The back panel of each amplifier has an input level control, dual l/4” phone jack inputs,

5-way binding post outputs, and dual l/4” phone jack outputs for each channel. There is a l/4” phone jack output for each channel’s high-frequency crossover. The resetable mains breaker is also located on the back. Additionally, the back contains switches for Stereo/Bridge select and DDT defeat, sub- sonic filter and active crossover switches.

FRONT PANEL FEATURES

DDT’” ACTIVE LEDS (1)

Illuminates when DDT compression is taking place in the channel. With the Enable/Defeat switch on the back panel in the Defeat position, this LED indicates when channel clipping is occurring.

POWER LED (2)

Illuminates when AC mains power is being supplied to the amp and both channels are operational. If either channel were to experience fault conditions, exceed the safe operating temperature limits, or have the associated circuit breaker trip, then the power LED will go out, indicating such conditions exist.

CIRCUIT BREAKERS (3)

There are two circuit breakers (one for each channel) on the PV’” 2000 have only one. These breakers are provided to limit the current to the associated power transformer and protect it from overheating and possible destruction due to fault conditions in the amplifier. The trip current values have been
