GPS™SERIES
POWER AMPLIFIERS
Congratulations on your purchase of the new GPS Series amplifier by Peavey Electronics. Years of power amp
design and testing have produced a totally refined, dynamic power amp product line. The GPS Series consists
of the GPS 900, GPS 1500, GPS 2600, GPS 3400 and GPS 3500. Each model features tunnel cooling, two
variable-speed fans, initialization protection and DDT™speaker protection. There are, however, differences
between the various models such as output power and connections. This guide will describe each feature of
your GPS Series amplifier and note the features common to specific models. The chart below offers a quick
reference.
