For your safety, we have incorporated a three-wire line (mains) cable with proper grounding A 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)

A Provided for connection of external speaker(s). Minimum total impedance is 4 ohms.

DDTTM COMPRESSION (7)

Each of the two internal power amplifiers is equipped with Peavey’s patented DDTTM Compression. The DDT circuits will automatically engage to prevent clipping distortion within the power amplifiers. Compres- sion is defeated when the pushbutton is “in”.DDTTM 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.

OPERATION NOTE: The input sensitivity rating of a power amplifier is the voltage level required to drive the amplifier to full output.

CHANNEL INPUTS (9)

Standard l/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 fig. 1).

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 fig. 2). In this mode, the signal source is applied equally to both channels.

Additionally, the amplifier features a patented DDT (Distortion Detection Technique) compression system. This system protects the speakers from clipping and distortion during high-output situations, ensuring that audio signals remain clear and undistorted. This is particularly beneficial in live settings where sudden peaks in audio levels can occur.

In terms of connectivity, the Peavey 2.6 C comes equipped with both balanced XLR and 1/4-inch TRS inputs, providing flexibility for different input sources. The outputs include Neutrik speakON connectors and binding posts, allowing seamless connections to various speaker types. The amplifier also has user-friendly controls, including level controls and LED indicators for monitoring signal presence and clipping, making it easy to manage during operation.

The build quality of the Peavey 2.6 C is also noteworthy, featuring a rugged chassis designed to withstand the rigors of touring and frequent setup. Its lightweight design allows for easy transport and installation without compromising on durability.

Overall, the Peavey 2.6 C power amplifier is an excellent choice for audio professionals looking for a powerful, reliable, and versatile amplifier. With its advanced technologies, robust construction, and outstanding audio performance, it continues to be a favored option in the competitive landscape of professional audio equipment.
