A grounding type plug has two blades and a third grounding plug. The wide blade or third prong is provided for your safety. If the provided plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet.

10.Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched, particularly at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point they exit from the apparatus.

11.Note for UK only: If the colors of the wires in the mains lead of this unit do not correspond with the terminals in your plug‚ proceed as follows:

a)The wire that is colored green and yellow must be connected to the terminal that is marked by the letter E‚ the earth symbol‚ colored green or colored green and yellow.

b)The wire that is colored blue must be connected to the terminal that is marked with the letter N or the color black.

c)The wire that is colored brown must be connected to the terminal that is marked with the letter L or the color red.

12.Only use attachments/accessories provided by the manufacturer.

13.Use only with a cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table specified by the manufacturer, or sold with the apparatus. When a

cart is used, use caution when moving the cart/apparatus combination to avoid injury from tip-over.

14. Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when unused for long periods of time.

15. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when the apparatus has been damaged in any way, such as power-supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the apparatus, the apparatus has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has been dropped.

17.If this product is to be mounted in an equipment rack, rear support should be provided.

18.Exposure to extremely high noise levels may cause a permanent hearing loss. Individuals vary considerably in suscep- tibility to noise-induced hearing loss, but nearly everyone will lose some hearing if exposed to sufficiently intense noise for a sufficient time. The U.S. Government’s Occupational and Health Administration (OSHA) has specified the following permissible noise level exposures:

KB4/KB5 specifications

The Peavey KB4 and KB5 are highly regarded keyboard amplifiers, designed to cater to musicians and performers seeking superior sound quality and versatility. Known for their robust construction and innovative features, these amplifiers have established themselves as reliable tools in various performance settings, from small gigs to larger venues.

One of the standout characteristics of the KB series is its powerful multi-channel design. The KB4 features four channels, while the KB5 boasts five, allowing for multiple instruments or microphones to be connected simultaneously. Each channel is equipped with independent volume controls, enabling users to blend different sources seamlessly. This flexibility is ideal for performers who need to switch between instruments or layers of sound quickly.

Both amplifiers are constructed with high-quality components that ensure durability and long life. The cabinets are crafted from sturdy plywood, reducing unwanted resonance and contributing to clearer sound reproduction. The front grille is designed for maximum protection of the speaker components, making these amplifiers suitable for travel and gigging musicians.

The built-in reverb effect adds another layer of richness to the sound, providing musicians with the option to create ambient soundscapes or add depth to their performances. Users can easily adjust the level of reverb to suit their needs, enhancing their overall sound without the need for additional effects pedals.

The KB4 and KB5 also include a versatile EQ section, allowing users to shape their sound. With bass, mid, and treble controls, performers can tailor their tone to match the acoustics of different venues or to complement their instrument's characteristics. This means that regardless of the setting, users can achieve an optimal sound that meets their artistic vision.

For connectivity, the amplifiers include a variety of inputs, such as standard 1/4” jack inputs, making them compatible with a wide range of instruments, including keyboards, guitars, and even microphones for vocal performance. An auxiliary input facilitates the connection of external devices like smartphones or music players, adding to their versatility for practice or live jamming sessions.

In summary, the Peavey KB4 and KB5 keyboard amplifiers shine with their multi-channel capabilities, durable build, built-in effects, and adjustable EQ settings, making them essential gear for musicians seeking quality sound reinforcement. Whether used in practice or performance, these amplifiers deliver power and clarity, contributing to an improved musical experience.
