Page 9: Installation
AC voltage is not covered by any warranty. See the Connecting Power section for more informa- tion on voltage requirements. Although the PV 3800 amplifier has RAMPUP 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. - Page 10 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.

Page 11: Rear Panel
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. -
Page 12: Connecting Inputs
Rear Panel 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 This 1/4” jack supplies high-frequency output signals from the activated crossover for patching to this amplifier and/or additional power amplifier inputs. -
Page 13: Operation Modes
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. -
Page 14: Thermal Protection
The PV® 3800 amplifier incorporates several circuits to protect both themselves and loudspeakers under virtu- ally 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™... -
Page 15: Protection Features
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™... -
Page 16: Speaker Protection
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. - Page 17 Rated Power Bridge 8 ohms 2650 watts @ 1 kHz at <0.1% T.H.D.
