CHANNEL CONTROLS
1
HIGH EQ
This High EQ shelving type of active tone control varies the treble frequency (±15 dB
at 12 kHz) and is designed to remove noise or add brilliance to the signal, depending on the quality of the source.
2
MID EQ
Mid EQ is a band pass (peak/notch) type of active tone control that varies the midrange frequencies (±15 dB at 450 Hz).
3
LOW EQ
A shelving type of active tone control that varies the bass frequency levels (±15 dB
at 70 Hz). Low EQ adds depth to thin-sounding signals or cleans up muddy ones. As
with any EQ‚ use sparingly. Too much of this EQ can give you a booming bottom end.
1
2
3
4
4
5
MON (monitor)
This control varies the level of each channel signal (pre-EQ) that is added
to the monitor mix.
EFX
The EFX control varies the level into the digital effects processor bus‚ adjusting
signal level from the individual channel to the digital processor. It is post gain and
will be affected by the gain control.
6
SIGNAL/CLIPPING INDICATOR
These LEDs illuminate green when a signal is present and red when clipping
occurs. If clipping occurs‚ turn the gain (7) down. If the channel clips when turning
the Level control up only slightly‚ try engaging the Pad switch (8).
7
GAIN
This control sets the signal level sent to the main mix.
8
PAD
Pad attenuates the input signal by -25 dB. If you notice distortion from a particular
channel or if the channel becomes loud very quickly‚ try engaging this switch. In addition to increasing the dynamic range‚ the channel input can now accommodate a
higher input level before clipping occurs, which may be helpful when close-mic’ing
a loud guitar amp or drum kit, for example.

LINE INPUT
These line inputs are 1/4” balanced TRS inputs. The tip is the positive input which
may also be used for unbalanced inputs. A pad switch is provided to attenuate strong
signals present at this input. Note: The Mic input and the Line input cannot be used
simultaneously within the same channel.
10
MIC INPUT
These mic inputs are XLR balanced‚ low-impedance channel inputs optimized for a microphone or other
low-impedance source. Pin 2 is the positive input. Due to the wide range of gain adjustment‚ signal
levels as high as +10 dBV (2.45 V RMS) can be accommodated with the pad switch engaged. When the
phantom power is enabled‚ this connector has +48 V on pins 2 and 3 with pin 1 as the ground reference.
Front Panel
11
12
13
14
LINE INPUTS (Ch 7-8)
These high impedance 1/4” inputs are for line-level signals. The inputs are summed
to mono‚ allowing a stereo source to be input into these channels. In critical
situations‚ two mono line sources can be connected to one input.
TRACK SELECT
The input to Channel 9/10 can be selected as left (mono), right (mono) or summed
mono input. This Track Select switch is specifically included to help when using
soundtracks that are split into vocal and accompaniment tracks. By pressing the
Left (L) button, the left signal is fed into both channels. By pressing the Right (R)
button, the right signal is fed into both channels. However, when both buttons are
simultaneously in the "UP" or "DOWN" position, the left and right channel signals
are "summed together."
MEDIA IN
This pair of RCA jacks accepts a stereo input (-10 dBV nominal) from the output of
an MP3 player, CD player, tape deck or other similar device. The signal is
placed on the main channel as well as the monitor mix.
PHANTOM POWER SWITCH
When depressed‚ this switch applies 48 VDC to all input XLR connectors
to power microphones that require phantom power.
Caution: When phantom power is switched on‚ make sure that any
channel you are plugging a microphone into is turned down and the
Master Main and Monitor controls are set to minimum. Otherwise‚ there
will be a loud pop in the system. For best results, first plug in all
microphones into their respective channels before phantom power is
switched on. This reduces noise through the system and reduces the
chance of damage to the microphones. If phantom power is used‚ do
not connect unbalanced‚ dynamic microphones or other devices to the
XLR inputs that cannot handle this voltage. (Some wireless receivers
may be damaged. Consult their manuals.) The line input jacks are not
connected to the phantom supply and are safe for all inputs (balanced or
unbalanced). An unbalanced to balanced impedance converter such as
the Peavey 5116 or a Peavey 1:1 Interface Adapter may also be used to
isolate a microphone from phantom voltage.

Muting channels 1-8 is a great feature that allows you to take a break‚ by muting channels 1–8 without
changing the mic level settings. Use channel 9/10 for your break music. Just remember, unmute before
beginning your performance.

FLS® FEEDBACK LOCATING SYSTEM
When feedback occurs‚ the corresponding LED of the frequency band that is feeding back will illuminate over the slider to be adjusted. Slowly bring the corresponding slider down until the feedback is
gone. The LED will remain illuminated for a few seconds after the feedback is gone. When the feedback
doesn’t return‚ all the LEDs will become active again, acting as a normal EQ.
GRAPHIC EQ
These 7-band EQs are designed for 12 dB of cut or boost. The equalizers are placed before the Preamp
outputs; therefore‚ the Main and monitor preamp outputs are post-EQ.

This button is used to configure the power amp as either main/main or main/monitor. The power amp
mode button is recessed to prevent accidental switching. Use a non-metallic object to change the switch
position (e.g.‚ a toothpick). The unit ships from the factory in the default main/main setting. When the
main/main switch is depressed‚ the first power amp is assigned to the mains and the second amplifier is
assigned to the monitor.
27
MAIN LEVEL
This is the master level control for the main mix sent to the main output jack and corresponding
power amplifier(s). In main/monitor mode it controls the main level going to the power amp.
28
POWER LED
This LED illuminates when power is supplied to the amplifier.

EFX DEFEAT JACK
This 1/4” jack accepts an on/off 1/4” footswitch (Peavey Part # 00051000) to defeat effects of both the
Main and Monitor mixes. The Effects may also be defeated via the EFX Defeat (13).
MONITOR OUTPUT
This 1/4” jack provides a signal from the monitor mix (after the graphic EQ) for an external
amplifier/speaker system. The level is determined by the Channel Monitor and Master Monitor controls.
MAIN OUTPUT
This 1/4” jack provides a signal from the main system mix after the graphic EQ. The main output is primarily used to feed an auxiliary amplifier/speaker system.

RECORD OUT
This pair of RCA jacks provides a signal to the recording inputs of a CD recorder, stereo tape deck‚ or
other recording device. NOTE: Do not connect a single device to the Media In (13) and Record Out (34).
This improper setup forms a loop, which can cause severe feedback. Use separate decks for recording
and playback.

It is provided for your safety. If the outlet used
does not have a ground pin, a suitable grounding
adapter should be used and the third wire should be grounded properly. To prevent the risk of shock or
fire hazard, always make sure that the amplifier and all associated equipment is properly grounded.
NOTE: FOR UK ONLY
As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this apparatus may not correspond directly with the colored markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows: (1) The green and yellow wire
must be connected to terminal which is marked with the letter E, or by the earth symbol, or is coloured
green, or green and yellow. (2) The blue wire must be connected to the terminal which is marked with
the letter N, or the colour black. (3) The brown wire must be connected to the terminal which is marked
with the letter L, or the colour red.
To avoid the risk of electrical shock, do not place fingers or any other objects into empty tube sockets
while power is being supplied to unit.
36
FUSE
This is the main safety fuse for the AC line voltage. Only replace with a fuse of the exact type and rating.
If the fuse continues to open‚ take the unit to an authorized Peavey service center.
37
POWER SWITCH
This is the main power switch. The power on LED indicator on the front of the unit will illuminate when
the unit is powered.
