J4 RESONANCE / PRESENCE

Unique to the 5150, the RESONANCE [14] control can be

15 set to boost the gain of the power amp in the low frequencies at the resonance/attentuation point of the speaker cabinet. In simple terms, the RESONANCE control works like a low EQ to offset Iow- end frequency drop-out. The PRESENCE [15] control works in the same manner, boosting the high frequencies. Experimentation using your particular speaker cabinet along with personal taste will determine your setting for these important controls.

STANDBY SW/TCR

18 Allows the 5150 to be placed in a non-operational standby mode. When the standby switch is activated the tubes remain hot and ready for instantaneous operation, eliminating warm-up time. The STANDBY LED indicator light [16] will illuminate when the amp is in the operational mode.

POWER SW/TtN

19 Supplies power to the unit. Depressed to the “ON” position, the POWER LED indicator light [17] will illuminate indicating power is beina suDPlied to the unit.

FUSE

2l? A 5 amp fuse is located within the

Acap of the fuseholder. It must be A’replaced with the same type and

value in order to avoid damage to the equipment and to prevent 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 Abe replaced when the power cord

has been disconnected from its power source.

f/NE CORD (120 V units only)

21 For your safety, we have incorporated a 3-wire line (mains)

Acable with proper grounding facilities. It is not advisable to remove the ground pin under any circumstances. If it is necessary to use the 5150 without proper grounding facilities, suitable grounding adaptors should be used. Greatly reduced shock hazard exists when the unit is operated with the proper grounded receptacles.

GROUND SWITCH

22 Three position, rocker-type switch which, for most applications, should be operated in the center (zero) position. If hum or noise is noticed coming from the speaker enclosure(s) with the ground switch in the center position, place the ground switch to positive or negative (+ or -) to minimize hum. Should a hum/noise problem continue, consult your authorized Peavey Dealer, the Peavey factory, or a qualified service technician. NOTE: The ground switch is not functional on 220/240 volt models.

EFFECTS SEND / EFFECTS RETURN

23 Signals are supplied to outboard effects or signal processing units

24 by patching from the EFFECTS SEND [23] output into the outboard unit(s) and back into the EFFECTS RETURN [24] input using shielded cable with l/4” phono jacks. Only non gain effects devices (chorus, reverb, delay, etc.) should be used in the effects loop. Remote (on/off) selection of outboard effects devices can be achieved using the 5 150’s footswitch.

25 PREANPOUT

This output can be used to send a preamped signal from the

5150 to a mixing console, tape

recorder, etc., using shielded cable. Patching from the PREAMP OUT does not affect the normal operation of the amplifier.
