ENGLISH
PV® 3800
Power Amplifier
Congratulations on your purchase of the PV 3800, a power amplifier designed for years of reliable, flawless operation under
rigorous use. This amplifier offers the sonic superiority and unsurpassed reliability for which Peavey is famous, while remaining surprisingly compact. 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 PV 3800’s high-efficiency design uses tunnel-cooled heat sinks and variable-speed DC fans. This cooling topology
maintains a lower overall operating temperature, resulting in longer output transistor life. For your safety, read the important
precautions section, as well as input, output and power connection instructions.
Although the PV 3800 amplifier is simple to operate and housed in an ultra-strong steel chassis, improper use can be dan-
gerous. 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.
FEATURES:
• Distortion Detection Technique (DDT)
• LFC™ Inpedance Sensing
• RAMPUP™ Signal Control
• 100 Hz Crossover
• Three front panel LEDs: DDT, Signal and Power
• Three operation choices: Stereo, Parallel and Bridged

is unavailable, contact Peavey to
obtain a replacement.
Because of the complexity of the design and the risk of electrical shock,
all repairs must be completed only
by qualified technical personnel.
Mounting
The PV® 3800 amplifier will
mount in standard 19" racks. Rear
mounting ears are also provided
for additional support, which is
recommended in non-permanent
installations like mobile or touring
sound systems.
Connecting Power
The PV 3800 amplifier power requirements are rated at 1/8 power
(typical music conditions) and 1/3
power (extreme music conditions). The
maximum power current draw rating is
limited only by the front panel circuit
breaker. Consult the specifications in
the Specification section for figures on
the current that each amplifier will demand. Make sure the mains voltage is
correct and is the same as that printed
on the rear of the amplifier. Damage
caused by connecting the amplifier to
improper AC voltage is not covered by
any warranty. Unless otherwise specified when ordered, Peavey amplifiers
shipped to customers are configured
as follows:
Option 1 North America
120VAC / 60 Hz
Option 2 Europe, Asia
230/240VAC / 50 Hz
Option 3 Australia
240VAC / 50 Hz
Option 4 South America
120VAC / 60 Hz or 240VAC / 50 Hz
Always turn off and disconnect the amplifier
from mains voltage before making audio
connections. Also, as an extra precaution, turn the
attenuators down during power-up.
Cooling Requirements
The PV 3800 amplifier uses a
forced-air cooling system to maintain a low, consistent operating
temperature. Air is drawn into the
amplifier by fan(s) on the rear panel,
courses through the cooling fins of
the tunnel-configured channel heat
sink(s), and then exhausts through
the front panel grille. If either heat
sink gets too hot, its sensing circuit
will open the output relay, disconnecting the load from that particular
channel. The PV 3800 utilizes one
common heat sink and a single fan,
but retains the separate circuitry.
NOTE: Maintain an adequate air
supply at the back of the amplifier
and enough space around the front
of the amplifier to allow the cooling
air to escape. If the amp is rack
mounted, do not use doors or
covers on the front of the rack;
the exhaust air must flow without
resistance. If you are using racks
with closed backs, use fans on the
rear rack panel to pressurize the
rack and ensure an ample air supply.
a
a
Operating Precautions
Make sure the mains voltage is correct and the same as that printed on the rear of the amplifier. Damage caused by connecting the amplifier to improper AC voltage is not covered by any warranty. See the Connecting Power section for more information on voltage requirements.
Although the PV 3800 amplifier has RAMPUP™ circuitry, which raises the signal level gradually after the output relay closes,
remember to have the gain controls turned down during power-up to prevent speaker damage if there is a high signal level at
the inputs. Whether you buy or make them, use good-quality connections, input cables and speaker cables, along with good
soldering technique, to ensure trouble-free operation. Most intermittent problems are caused by faulty cables.
Consult the Wire Gauge Chart to determine proper gauges for different load impedances and cable lengths. Remember that
cable resistance robs amplifier power in two ways: power lost directly to resistance (I2R loss), and by increasing the total load
impedance, thereby decreasing the power demanded of the amplifier. Also, make sure the mode switch is correctly set for the
desired application. See Sections on Stereo, Parallel and Bridged Mono Mode for more information.
Make certain that there is enough space around the front and rear of the amplifier to allow the heated air
to escape.
Suggestion: In racks with closed backs, allow at least one standard-rack-space opening for every four
a
mounted power amplifiers.

AC POWER SWITCH/CIRCUIT BREAKER
The PV® 3800 amplifier has a combination AC switch/circuit breaker on the front panel. If the switch shuts
off during normal use, push it back to the ON position once. If it will not stay on, the amplifier needs
servicing.
INDICATORS
The PV 3800 amplifier features three front panel LED indicators per channel: DDT™, SIGNAL and POWER.
These LED indicators inform the user of each channel’s operating status and warn of possible abnormal
conditions.
1
2
DDT (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 power-up the DDT LED
will light to indicate that the RAMPUP™ gain reduction circuitry is activated. This prevents sudden
signal bursts when the speaker relays are closed.
3
SIGNAL 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.
4
POWER LED
The Power 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 Distortion Detection Technique or DDT gain reduction.
These protection features leave the output relay closed. If the Power LED

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.
When operating in the Bridged
Mode, both attenuators must
be in the same position so the
speaker load will be equally
shared between the channels.
See the section on Bridged
Mono operation for more
information and precautions.

This is the receptacle for an IEC line cord, which provides AC power to the unit. Connect the line cord to
this connector to provide power to the unit. Damage to the equipment may result if improper line voltage is used. (See line voltage marking on unit).
Never break off the ground pin on any equipment. 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 re hazard, always make sure that the amplier and
all associated equipment is properly grounded.
NOTE: FOR U.K. ONLY
As the colors of the wires in the mains lead of this apparatus may not correspond with the colored markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows: (1) The wire which is colored green and
yellow must be connected to the terminal which is marked by the letter E, or by the Earth symbol, or
colored green or green and yellow. (2) The wire which is colored blue must be connected to the terminal
which is marked with the letter N, or the color black. (3) The wire which is colored brown must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter L, or the color red.
To avoid the risk of electrical shock, do not place ngers or any other objects into empty tube sockets
while power is being supplied to unit.

LOW CUT SWITCH
This switch is used to activate the LOW CUT filter for the corresponding channel. It is a push-type switch,
that requires a small tool to activate. The IN position routes the input signals through the 40 Hz LOW CUT
filter, while the OUT position bypasses the filter. This filter will cut extremely low frequencies, protecting
speakers from the possibility of over-excursion. The filter low-frequency rolloff is 12 dB per octave. The
LOW CUT filter for each channel will function independently of the crossover function.
CROSSOVER SWITCH (100 Hz crossover)
8
This switch is used to activate the 100 Hz crossover for the corresponding channel. It is also a
push-type switch and requires a small tool to activate. The PV 3800 offers two 100 Hz crossovers.
These are specially designed features that enhance the response of most loudspeakers in a typical
bi-amped application. Rather than having a flat output curve, these crossovers use special filters
to tailor the response and provide a flat acoustical output. This type of crossover sounds more
natural than conventional state-variable crossovers. With the switch IN, the input signals are routed
through the crossover and the low frequencies are automatically sent to the corresponding channel. At the same time, the high frequencies are sent to the HIGH OUT (9) jack and must then be
patched to the INPUT of the other channel of this amplifier or to another amplifier input to complete the bi-amped system. With the switch OUT, the crossover is defeated and the input signal is

routed directly to the respective power amp channel. The crossover frequency is fixed at 100 Hz and
cannot be changed. The crossover configuration is a four-pole Linkwitz-Riley approximation.
HIGH OUT JACKS
9
This 1/4” jack supplies high-frequency output signals from the activated crossover for patching to
this amplifier and/or additional power amplifier inputs. Unlike the low-frequency crossover output
that is automatically routed to the associated channel, the high-frequency output signal must be
patched to some suitable input in order to complete the bi-amped system. This 1/4” jack also provides an unbalanced (tip/sleeve) output to be patched with single-conductor shielded cables.
10
CONN. MODE SELECT SWITCH
Depressing the rear panel CONN. MODE select switch connects both input connectors together in
parallel. This directs the same input signal to both channels and allows one connector to be used
with a patch cable to drive another amplifier. In the OUT position, both input connectors operate
independently. Do not operate the CONN. MODE select switch with the amplifier powered on. See
the sections on Stereo, Parallel and Bridged Mono Mode for more information.
SELECT SWITCH
11
The rear panel AMP MODE select switch determines if the amplifier is in stereo (two channels) or in
Bridged Mono Mode. Do not operate the AMP MODE select switch with the amplifier powered on. See
the Operations Mode section for more information on Stereo, Parallel and Bridged Mono Mode applications.
CONNECTING INPUTS
12
Input connections are made via the 3-pin XLR (pin 2+) or 6.3 mm plug “Combi” connectors on the rear
panel of the amplifier. The inputs are actively balanced. The input overload point is high enough to accept
the maximum output level of virtually any signal source.
CONNECTING OUTPUTS
13
All models have two output (speaker) connections per channel. Cables can be connected with banana
plugs, spade lugs, or bare wire to the five-way binding posts. The preferred method is connection via the
Speakon® connectors.
12
Operation Modes
Stereo Operation
For stereo (dual channel) operation, turn the amplifier off and set the mode select switches on the back panel to
the OUT (extended) position. In this mode, both channels operate independently of each other with their input
attenuators controlling their respective levels. For example, a signal at channel A’s input produces an amplified
signal at channel A’s output, while a signal at channel B’s input produces an amplified signal at channel B’s output.
Parallel Operation
For parallel (dual channel/single input) operation, turn the amplifier off and set the connector mode (Conn,
Mode) switch to the parallel position by depressing the switch. Both input connectors are then strapped together
and drive both channels with the same input signal. Because both connectors are strapped together, either connector can be used with a patch cable to drive the input of another amplifier. Output connections are the same as
in the Stereo Mode. In Parallel Mode, both input attenuators remain active, allowing users to set different levels
for each channel. Power and other general performance specifications are the same as in the Stereo Mode.
Bridged Operation
Both amplifier channels can be bridged together to make a very powerful single-channel monaural amplifier. Use
extreme caution when operating in bridged mode; potentially lethal voltage may be present at the output terminals. To bridge the amplifier, depress the rear panel Amp Mode switch (11) to the IN position. Direct the signal
to channel A’s input and connect the speakers across pin +1 and pin +2 of the channel A Speakon® output connector. Only channel A’s input attenuator is active while in Bridged Mono mode. Both connectors are strapped
together, so either connector can be used with a patch cable to drive the input of another amplifier. When oper-
ating in the Bridged Mode, both attenuators must be in the same position so the speaker load will be
equally shared between the channels.
Unlike the Stereo and Parallel Modes, in which one side of each output is at ground, in
the Bridged Mode both sides are hot. Pin +1 is Channel A’s side, which is the same polarity as the input. The minimum nominal load impedance in the Bridge Mode is 4 ohms,
which is equivalent to driving both channels at 2 ohms. Driving bridged loads of less than
4 ohms will activate DDT™ circuitry, resulting in a loss of power and potential thermal
overload.
13
Protection Features
The PV® 3800 amplifier incorporates several circuits to protect both themselves and loudspeakers under virtually any situation. Peavey has attempted to make the amplifiers as foolproof as possible by making them immune
to short and open circuits, mismatched loads, DC voltage, and overheating. If a channel goes into the Distortion
Detection Technique or DDT™ gain reduction mode, the speaker load remains connected, but clipping percentage or output power are instantly reduced. DC voltage on the output, excessive subsonic frequencies or thermal
overload will cause the channel’s output relay to disconnect the speaker load until the problem is corrected or
the amplifier cools down.
Distortion Detection Technique™ (DDT)
Any time a channel is driven into hard, continuous clipping, the DDT circuit will automatically reduce the channel
gain to a level just slightly into clipping, guarding the speakers against the damaging high power continuous
square waves that may be produced. Situations that may activate the DDT circuit include uncontrolled feedback,
oscillation, an improper equipment setting or malfunction upstream from the amplifier. Normal program
transients will not trigger the DDT, only steady, excessive clipping will. The DDT LED will glow brightly and
continuously when limiting occurs.
LFC™ Impedance Sensing
The PV 3800 amplifier features innovative circuitry that allows safe operation into any load. When an amplifier
sees a load that overstresses the output stage, the Load Fault Correction (LFC) circuit adjusts the channel gain to
a safe level. This method of output-stage protection is far superior to conventional, brute force-type limiting found
on other amplifiers. The LFC circuit is sonically transparent in normal use and unobtrusive when activated.
Thermal Protection
Internal fans keep the amplifier operating well within its intended temperature range under all normal conditions.
If a channel’s heat sink temperature reaches 75°C, which may indicate an obstructed air supply, that channel will
independently protect itself by disconnecting its load and shutting down until it has cooled. During this time, the
POWER LED will go out, the DDT LEDs will remain lit and the cooling fans will continue running at high speed.
Short Circuit
If an output is shorted, the LFC and thermal circuits will automatically protect the amplifier. The LFC circuit senses
the short circuit as an extremely stressful load condition and attenuates the signal, protecting the channel’s
output transistors from over-current stress. If the short circuit remains, the channel will eventually thermally
protect itself by disconnecting the load.
DC Voltage Protection
If an amplifier channel detects DC voltage or subsonic frequencies at its output terminals, its output relay will
immediately open to prevent loudspeaker damage.
14
Protection Features
Turn-On/Turn-Off Protection
At power-up, the amplifier stays in the protect mode with outputs disconnected for approximately six seconds
while the power supplies charge and stabilize. While the output relays are open, the DDT™ LEDs light. When
power is removed, the speaker loads immediately disconnect so that no thumps or pops are heard.
RAMPUP™ Signal Control
Whenever a PV® 3800 amplifier powers up or comes out of a protect mode, the RAMPUP circuit activates. While
the speakers are disconnected, the RAMPUP circuit fully attenuates the signal and activates the DDT LED. After
the output relay closes, the signal slowly and gradually raises to its set level. The PWR LED will illuminate and
the DDT LED will turn off when the signal is no longer attenuated. The RAMPUP Signal Control circuit has some
important advantages over conventional instant-on circuits:
1. If a signal is present during power-up (or when coming out of protect), the speakers are
spared a sudden, potentially damaging burst of audio power.
2. Because the gain is reduced until after the output relay closes, no arcing occurs at the
contacts. This extends the contacts’ useful life.
15
Safety
Speaker Protection
All loudspeakers have electrical, thermal and physical limits that must be observed to prevent damage or failure.
Too much power, low frequencies applied to high frequency drivers, severely clipped waveforms and DC voltage
can all be fatal to cone and compression drivers. The Peavey PV® 3800 amplifier automatically protects speakers
from DC voltages and subsonic signals. For more information, see the section on Protection Features. Mid- and
high-frequency speakers, especially compression drivers, are highly susceptible to damage from overpowering,
clipped waveforms or frequencies below their rated pass band. Be extremely careful that the low and mid bands
of an electronic crossover are connected to the correct amplifiers and drivers and not accidentally connected
to those for a higher frequency band. The amplifier’s clipping point is its maximum peak output power and can
deliver more power than many speakers can safely handle. Be sure the peak power capability of the amplifier is
not excessive for your speaker system.
To ensure that the speakers never receive excessive power and that the amplifier never clips, use a properly
adjusted external limiter (or a compressor with a ratio of 10:1 or higher) to control power output. In systems with
active electronic crossovers, use one for each frequency band. The clip limiter will automatically limit the duration of continuous square waveforms applied to the speakers. The amplifier will, however, allow normal musical
transient bursts to pass. Some speaker systems are packaged with processors that have power limiting circuits
and should not require additional external limiting.
Fuses may also be used to limit power to speaker drivers, although as current-limiting (rather than voltage-limiting) devices they are an imperfect solution. As the weakest links, fuses only limit once before needing replacement. Some poor-quality fuses have a significant series resistance that could degrade the amplifier’s damping of
the speaker’s motion and may even deteriorate the system’s sound quality. If you elect to use fuses, check with
the speaker manufacturer to determine the proper current rating and time lag required.
Do not drive any low-frequency speaker enclosure with frequencies lower than its own tuned frequency. The
reduced acoustical damping could cause a ported speaker to bottom out even at moderate power. Consult the
speaker system specifications to determine its frequency limits.
Amplifier Maintenance and User Responsibility
A PV 3800 amplifier requires no routine maintenance and should never need any internal adjustment during
its lifetime. Your PV 3800 amplifier is very powerful and can be potentially dangerous to loudspeakers and
humans alike. It is your responsibility to read the Important Precautions section in the front of this manual and
to make sure that the amplifier is installed, wired and operated properly. Many loudspeakers can be easily
damaged or destroyed by overpowering, especially with the high power available from a bridged amplifier.
Read the Speaker Protection section and always be aware of the speaker’s continuous and peak power
capabilities.
