LINE OUTPUT LEVEL CHANNEL 2 (l!9)

Controls the signal level at the line output jack. This control may be used as a balance control when slave power amp/speaker systems are driven from the line output.

LINE OUTPUT CHANNEL 1 (20)

The line output provides a signal with level control to drive other power amplifier/slave speaker systems. (See Line Output Level)

LINE OUTPUT CHANNEL 2 (21)

The line output provides a signal with level control to drive other power amplifier/slave speaker systems. (See Line Output Level)

DIRECT OUT CHANNEL 1 (22)

Provides 600 ohm, transformer balanced signal to be used as “direct” patch into mixing consoles, tape recorders, etc. The signal at this point has been frequency compensated for low noise operation.

DIRECT OUT CHANNEL 2 (23)

Provides 600 ohm, transformer balanced signal to be used as “direct” patch into mixing consoles, tape recorders, etc. The signal at this point has been frequency compensated for low noise operation.

INPUTS CHANNEL 1 (24)

Unbalanced l/4 “ phone jacks are in parallel. Used to connect line level signal to the power amplifier.

INPUTS CHANNEL 2 (25)

Unbalanced % II phone jacks are in parallel. Used to connect line level signal to the power amplifier.

GROUND SWITCH (26)

Three position rocker-type switch which, in most applications, should be operated in its center or zero posi- tion. There may be some situations when audible hum and/or noise will come from the loudspeaker. If this situation arises, position the ground switch to either positive or negative ( + or -) or until the noise is minimized.

NOTE: Should the noise problem continue, consult your Authorized Peavey Dealer, the Peavey Factory, or a qualified service technician. THE GROUND SWITCH IS NOT FUNCTIONAL ON 220/240 VOLT MODELS.

LINE CORD (l2OV PRODUCTS ONLY) (27)

For your safety, we have incorporated a 3-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 the proper grounded receptacles.

FUSE (28)

The fuse is located within the cap of the fuseholder. If the fuse should fail, IT MUST BE REPLACED WITH THE SAME TYPE AND VALUE IN ORDER TO AVOID DAMAGE TO THE EQUIPMENT AND TO PRE- VENT VOIDING THE WARRANTY. If the amp repeatedly blows fuses, it should be taken to a qualified service center for repair.

WARNING: THE FUSE SHOULD ONLY BE REPLACED WHEN THE POWER CORD HAS BEEN DISCONNECTED FROM ITS POWER SOURCE.
