3-PIN LOW-IMPEDANCE MICROPHONE INPUT
1
This input is for typical balanced, low-impedance microphones. This has an input impedance of 1k ohms. The connector
is wired as: Pin 1=shield; Pin 2=positive (hot); Pin 3=negative (cold).
1/4" LINE/HIGH-IMPEDANCE INPUT
2
This input may be used as either a high-impedance microphone input or for line-level devices such as a cassette player,
CD player, video projector or laptop. This will also allow connection from an electric guitar, bass or keyboard. It is a
two-conductor input with an impedance of 10k ohms.

VOLUME CONTROL
The level control for each channel sends the signal to the master mix bus. Typical operation is between 4 and 8 (dependent
upon the input devices) but should be lower than the master level. Please remember that this acts like a preamp, so if you
are using a device that has a volume output control (i.e.: a tape or CD player) you will need to do some level matching by
adjusting the level controls on each unit.
HIGH CONTROL
4
This is used to adjust the overall tone of the individual inputs. Since it is a cut or boost control (+/-15 dB), it will add or
diminish presence frequencies in the sound beginning at 2 kHz.
LOW CONTROL
5
This is used to adjust the overall tone of the individual inputs. Since it is a cut or boost control (+/-15 dB), it will add or diminish bass
frequencies in the sound beginning at 300 Hz.
EFFECTS CONTROL
6
This is used as a send control to the effects bus. It controls the amount of reverberation added to the input signals.

MASTER LEVEL
This controls the overall volume level of the entire amplifier. Typical operation is between 4 and 8.
8
TAPE/CD VOLUME
This controls the level of the playback inputs (RCA jacks).
EFFECTS VOLUME
9
This controls the level of the echo and delay that is added back to the master mix.
EFFECTS ECHO
10
This controls the character of the Reverb that is added back to the master mix. This is analogous with changing the rate at
which the echo decays.
EFFECTS DELAY
11
This controls the delay of the Reverb that is added back to the master mix. Increase this control to simulate the effect of
larger rooms.
MP3 VOLUME
12
This controls the level of the playback inputs on the MP3 player.

PHANTOM POWER
When depressed, this switch, applies +15 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 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.
