  • Page 7 Congratulations! You have just taken a giant step forward towards sonic clarity in your sound system. This PV amplifier was specially designed as an integrated bi-amped power package forming a system with Peavey SP2, SP4 or Impulse 1015 speakers. Not only does it provide the correct amount of power to optimally drive these speaker systems, it also features a carefully designed electronic crossover and processing section.

  • Page 9 Front Panel INPUT GAIN (dB) The low and high channels of this amp each have individual Input Sensitivity controls. Normally these controls should be set the same but may be adjusted as needed in each situation. The setting controls the amount of signal necessary to drive the amplifier, not the output of the amplifier. A higher setting will result in more system headroom while a lower setting will result in lower system noise.
  • Page 10 When tripped, the button on the BREAKER will be outward approximately 1/4” and can be reset by pushing inward and upward. A normal reset button is relatively flat. If the breaker trips instantly each time you attempt to turn the unit on, it should be taken to a qualified Peavey Service Center for repair.

    PV® 1600 utilizes 4-conductor Speakon connectors. Internally, the Speakons are wired with the Lows on pins 1+ and 1- and the Highs on pins 2+ and 2-. These will properly mate with all Peavey speakers that have Bi-amp inputs via Speakons. Note: For powering SP4 speakers, internal jumpers must be connected inside the speaker terminal plate (see the instructions in the PV4 owners manual).
  • Page 12 As a general rule, providing adequate ventilation to electronic equipment extends its service life. While in most low to medium-power applications, your amplifier can be mounted anywhere, Peavey® recommends locating your PV 1600 at the top of an equipment stack. This will prevent possible over- heating of sensitive equipment by the hot air rising from the power amplifier.
  • Page 13 DDT® Peavey’s patented DDT (Distortion Detection Technique) compression circuit enables the sound techni- cian to maximize the performance of the amplifier/speaker combination by preventing the power ampli- fier from running out of headroom (clipping). This fully automatic compression system features a unique circuit that senses signal conditions that might overload the amplifier.
