breaker trips instantly each time you attempt to reset it, the unit should be taken to a qualified service center for repair.

(6) OUTPUT MONITOR

This standard Quick-ConnectªRJ11 modular connector provides Channel A and B signals to PeaveyÕs booth monitor products such as the CA-M400. Refer to the diagram above the connector for proper polarity. (+ is equal to the channelÕs positive output.) The channels are indicated below the connector.

(7) BARRIER STRIP SPEAKER OUTPUTS

The SPEAKER OUTPUTS for each channel are provided by means of a heavy-duty, four screw barrier strip. The screw terminals marked Ò+Ó are the power amplifier outputs for each channel.

The remaining screw terminals are ground (chassis). The minimum recommended speaker load impedance is 4 ohms per channel, or 8 ohms in BRIDGE mode. Operation into loads below the recommended load impedance can result in temporary amplifier shutdown due to internal fault sensing.

(8) SPS SWITCH

This switch is used to either ENABLE or DEFEAT the SPS safety compressor. Normally, the SPS switch should be in the ENABLE position to minimize the possibility of a channel going into clipping or overload. With SPS defeated, a severe overload could cause the unitÕs circuit breaker to trip.

(9) MODE SWITCH

This switch is used to select either STEREO or BRIDGE mode for the amplifier operation. Care should be exercised whenever the BRIDGE mode is selected. Accidental selection of this mode could cause damage to loudspeakers, particularly in BIAMPED systems. NOTE: Peavey does not recommend the use of BRIDGE mode for normal theater applications.

(10) INPUT LEVEL

The INPUT controls are labeled in approximately 3 dB increments for ease of gain adjustment. Maximum input gain is achieved at the full clockwise setting. When used with CinemAcoustics signal processors, these controls should be left in the full clockwise position.
