Peavey KB4/KB5 CH5/MONITOR LEVEL, Headphone Level, Master Level, Ddt Selector, Power Switch

CH5/MONITOR LEVEL (8)

Controls the input level for channel 5. Controls high-impedance microphones or other high-level sources equipped with a 1/4" phone plug.

HEADPHONE LEVEL (9)

This sets the level to the headphone jack on the rear panel. To avoid damage to your hearing‚ make sure to turn the dial fully counter-clockwise before using headphones. Slowly turn the knob clockwise until a comfortable listening level is set. This does not affect the master level.

MASTER LEVEL (10)

This knob sets the overall level for the unit. Make sure the Master level is completely down (full counter- clockwise) before powering up the unit. This does not affect the headphone level.

DDT™ SELECTOR (11)

This switch controls Peavey’s exclusive DDT (Distortion Detection Technique) speaker protection. With this switch in the OUT position‚ a unique circuit senses signal conditions that might overload the amplifier and activates compression to reduce gain and avoid clipping. This technique utilizes every watt available for the amplifier to reproduce the signal‚ yet minimizes clipping and distortion which reduces the potential for speaker damage. Since this function is “invisible” at levels below the clipping point‚ it is advised that it be activated at all times. Setting this switch to the IN position defeats this protection feature‚ allowing potential power amp clipping and the resultant increase in likelihood of speaker damage.

POWER SWITCH (12)

This two-way rocker switch applies power to the unit when placed in the ON position.

GROUND POLARITY (1)

This 3-position‚ rocker-type switch should normally be placed in the center (0) position. If hum or noise is noticed coming from the speaker enclosure‚ the switch may be placed in the (+) or (-) position to minimize hum/noise. If changing polarity does not alleviate the problem‚ consult your authorized Peavey dealer‚ the Peavey factory or a qualified service technician.
