Power Amplifier

Congratulations on your purchase of an IPR power amplifier, designed for years of reliable, flawless operation under rigorous use. The groundbreaking IPR series utilizes an advanced design that allows Peavey engineers to dramatically reduce weight while increasing output power, reliability and thermal efficiency. IPR Series amplifiers are designed with a resonant switch-mode power supply and a high-speed class D topology that yields the highest audio resolution and efficiency available. This revolutionary amplifier offers the sonic superiority and unsurpassed reliability for which Peavey is famous, in an extremely efficient and lightweight design. Advanced technology and extensive protection circuitry allow operation with greater efficiency into difficult loads and power conditions. The DDT™ (Distortion Detection Technique) circuitry ensures trouble-free operation into loads as low as 2 ohms. DDT protects drivers and ensures that sonic integrity is maintained, even in extreme overload conditions. The IPR’s high-efficiency design allows the amplifier to operate at very low temperatures, and does not require massive heat sinks to cool. For your safety, read the important precautions section, as well as input, output and power connection instructions.

Although the IPR amplifier is simple to operate and housed in an ultra-strong, ultra-lightweight chassis, improper use can be dangerous. This amplifier is very highpowered and can put out high voltages and sizable currents at frequencies up to 30 kHz. Always use safe operating techniques when operating this amplifier.

Before you send signal through your amplifier, it is very important to ensure that the product has the proper AC line voltage supplied. You can find the proper voltage for your amp printed next to the IEC line (power) cord on the rear panel of the unit. Each product feature is numbered. Refer to the front-panel diagram in this manual to locate the particular features next to its number.

Please read this guide carefully to ensure your personal safety as well as the safety of your amplifier.
