Peavey 3000 manual Connecting CD, Tape or Other Line Sources, Connecting Power, Note For Uk Only

Connecting CD, Tape or Other Line Sources

Connect a CD or tape player to the CHANNEL 5 auxiliary input connectors (AUX IN) as shown (Fig. 8). If you wish to connect an additional tape machine, CD or other line source to the Escort, CHANNEL 5 also has stereo line inputs and CHANNELS 1-3 have monaural (MONO) line inputs. Additional cables for connecting to the Escort are available from your Peavey dealer. Connecting only to the CHANNEL 4 LEFT/MONO jack automatically converts that channel for mono operation (the sound will come out of both speakers.

Adjusting Gain and Volume Controls (Faders)

Adjust the channel GAIN controls (Fig. 10) for desired level from the speakers. If the desired level is reached with the channel GAIN at a low setting (1-3), lower the MASTER VOLUME controls (Fig. 11). If the channel GAIN needs to be set at 9-10 for desired volume, raise the MASTER VOLUME controls. The L and R MASTER VOLUME controls adjust the left and right speakers.

Adjusting Tone Controls

Adjust the BASS and TREBLE controls (Fig. 10) as necessary to achieve desired sound. However, use moderation in setting channel tone controls. Extreme settings of these controls can adversely affect sound quality. Large amounts of boost (+) on these controls can also increase the chance of feedback on microphone inputs.
