1AC POWER SWITCH
This button triggers the relay that provides power to the amplifier. This unique power switch will glow blue (along with the Peavey logo) in standby mode, indicating AC power has been connected to the amplifier but the amplifier has not yet been turned on.

The IPR™ amplifiers feature five

ACTIVE LED
The Active LED indicates that its channel’s output relay is closed and the channel is operational. It lights under normal operation and remains on, even when the channel is in DDT gain reduction. These protection features leave the output relay closed. If the Active LED goes off, there is no signal at the output connectors.
4SIGNAL LED
This LED lights when its channel produces an output signal of about 4 volts RMS or more (0.1 volt or more at the input, with 0 dB attenuation and standard x40 voltage gain). This signal indicates whether a signal is reaching and being amplified by the amplifier.
5DDT™ (DISTORTION DETECTION TECHNIQUE) LED
A channel’s DDT LED will light at the onset of clipping. If the LEDs are flashing quickly and intermittently, the channel is just at the clip threshold. A steady, bright glow means the amp is clip limiting, or reducing gain to prevent severely clipped waveforms from reaching the loudspeakers. See the Distortion Detection Technique section for more information. During initial
6TEMP LED
In the unlikely event of an unstable thermal condition, amplifier protection will be activated and will shut down the offending channel. The Temp LED will remain illuminated until safe operating temperatures have returned.
7DC LED
In the event of abnormal operating conditions, the IPR has
8INPUT ATTENUATORS
Whenever possible, set the attenuators fully clockwise to maintain optimum system headroom. The input attenuator controls, located at the front panel (one for channel A, one for channel B), adjust gain for their respective amplifier channels in all modes. See the specifications at the end of this manual for standard voltage gain and input sensitivity information.
