When using electrical products, basic cautions should always be followed, including the following:

1. Read these instructions.

2. Keep these instructions.

3. Heed all warnings.

4. Follow all instructions.

5. Do not use this apparatus near water.

6. Clean only with a dry cloth.

7. Do not block any of the ventilation openings. Install in accordance with manufacturer’s instructions.

8. Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves or other apparatus (including
amplifiers) that produce heat.

9. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding-type plug. A polarized plug has two blades with one
wider than the other. A grounding type plug has two blades and a third grounding plug. The wide blade or third
prong is provided for your safety. If the provided plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for
replacement of the obsolete outlet.

10. Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched, particularly at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the
point they exit from the apparatus.

11. Only use attachments/accessories provided by the manufacturer.

12. Use only with a cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table specified by the manufacturer, or sold with the apparatus. When
a cart is used, use caution when moving the cart/apparatus combination to avoid injury from tip-over.

13. Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when unused for long periods of time.

14. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when the apparatus has been damaged in

any way, such as power-supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the
apparatus, the apparatus has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has been dropped.

15. Never break off the ground pin. Write for our free booklet “Shock Hazard and Grounding.” Connect only to a power
supply of the type marked on the unit adjacent to the power supply cord.

16. If this product is to be mounted in an equipment rack, rear support should be provided.

17. Exposure to extremely high noise levels may cause a permanent hearing loss. Individuals vary considerably in
susceptibility to noise-induced hearing loss, but nearly everyone will lose some hearing if exposed to sufficiently
intense noise for a sufficient time. The U.S. Government’s Occupational and Health Administration (OSHA) has
specified the following permissible noise level exposures:

Sound Duration Per Day In Hours Sound Level dBA, Slow Response

890
692
495
397
2100

1 1/2 102

1105

1/2 110

1/4 or less 115

According to OSHA, any exposure in excess of the above permissible limits could result in some hearing loss. Ear plugs or protectors to the
ear canals or over the ears must be worn when operating this amplification system in order to prevent a permanent hearing loss, if exposure
is in excess of the limits as set forth above. To ensure against potentially dangerous exposure to high sound pressure levels, it is
recommended that all persons exposed to equipment capable of producing high sound pressure levels such as this amplification system be
protected by hearing protectors while this unit is in operation.

Thank you for purchasing the powered version of the Impulse®100. The 100P features a biamped power
section that provides 200 Watts peak dynamic power for the woofer, and 70 Watts peak dynamic power
for the compression driver tweeter, both with Peavey’s DDT

™

compression. Offering a 10" heavy-duty, long­throw woofer and the 14XT™compression driver, the 100P provides line-level balanced inputs with volume
control and loop-thru jacks.

The unit is AC power line fuse protected from

overloads and fault conditions with an ABC-type
fast-blow 5 Amp fuse. In the rare event of a fuse
blowing: first make sure the unit is unplugged
and the power switch is in the OFF position, then
replace the blown fuse ONLY with a fast-blow 5
Amp 250V AC rated fuse. Be sure to fully seat and
close the replacement fuse and fuse holder cap.
Reconnect the unit to the AC power line, and with
the volume turned completely down (fully CCW),
turn on the power switch. If the unit blows the
fresh fuse, DO NOT continue to replace fuses, but
have the unit checked by a qualified service
technician.

The removable AC power cord plugs into this

socket to supply AC line voltage to the power

This switch supplies AC power to the system

electronics when switched to the ON position.

Illuminates when the preamp electronics receive

power, and should illuminate when the On-Off
Switch is in the ON position and the AC power

The input and output jacks are in parallel to allow

the audio input signal to be daisy-chained to
other devices. The “output” level is the same as
the “input” level and there is no isolation
between the various jacks. The input is of the
medium impedance balanced type. Jack (5a) is a
combo female XLR and 1/4" RTS connector, and
jack (5b) is a male XLR.
