LINE OUT SECTION
Line Out is intended to link multiple DPE
2P-4P's in a line or to provide a feed to other electronics that needs to receive
a full range line-level version of the input signal. The connectors available are a 1/4" TRS phone jack (21), and a male XLR
jack (22). The output level is controlled by the gain controls (13) for input 1 and input 2, and is the sum total of any signals
present at inputs 1 and 2.
To meet EMC requirements place a ferrite core (Peavey P/N 30501664) on the line out cable with four turns of the user
supplided cable through the core.
CAUTIONS
The unit must be disconnected from the AC power source before any work is done on it.
Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.
The back plate can become hot to he touch. Do not block or cover the fan opening from ventilation. There must be a
minimum of 4" of space behind the heat sink. Do not allow the airflow to be become blocked by objects such as curtains or
drapes, thermal building insulation, etc. It is recommended that the rear of the DPE 2P-4P not be placed in a closed space or
a space that has no fresh, cool airflow.
Be sure to keep the microphone away from the front of the speaker after switching the mic/line sensitivity switch to the
IN position and while setting the microphone level, or very loud feedback will occur! Damage to the system is likely if this
occurs! DO NOT connect the inputs of the DPE 2P-4P to the output of a power amplifier. The inputs are meant to be driven
from a mic or line-level signals.
DO NOT remove the protective metal grille.
WARNING! The DPE 2P-4P is very efficient and powerful! This sound system can permanently damage hearing!
Use extreme care setting the overall maxmium volume! The apparent sound level of the DPE 2P-4P can be deceiving due to
its clear, clean sound output. The lack of distortion or obvious distress can make the sound level seem much lower than it
actually is. This system is capable of SPL in excess of 131 dB at 1 meter distance from the speaker!
CONNECTING AC POWER TO THE DPE 2P-4P
The DPE 2P-4P comes with a 6-foot IEC connection AC power cord. If you are using an extension cord or power strip with
this powered speaker, make sure it is of good quality and of a sufficient current capacity to maintain safety and maximize the
power output capability of the DPE 2P-4P. For maximum undistorted output, do not connect any other device to the same
extension cord that the DPE 2P-4P is connected to . Do not exceed the rated current capacity of the extension cord with the
sum total of all units connected to it.
When first plugging in the AC cord, make sure the power switch is in the Off position, and then turn it On only once the
power cord has been connected. Built-in muting will engage when the proper sequence of steps is taken.
SPECIAL NOTE FOR PERMANENT INSTALLATION
When installing the DPE 2P-4P, AC power runs will be used and a certified electrician should be consulted to be sure that
all AC wiring complies with local codes and regulations. It is also advisable to use a cable clip properly affixed to the cabinet
to relieve strain on the IEC power cord connected to the amplifier module at (2) so the power cord cannot be pulled out or
vibrate loose.
USE OF THE DPE 2P WITH A SUBWOOFER POLE
The built-in stand mount cup allows use with the Peavey DPE
118P Sub and the accessory pole that it is designed to use,
which is included with the Sub.
The pole used is 29 1/2" long and has a nominal diameter of 1-3/8".
Always be sure to place the subwoofer used in this manner on a flat, level and stable surface.
USE OF THE DPE 2P WITH A SPEAKER STAND
The DPE 2P has a stand mount cup molded-in so that the system can be stand mounted on a standard 1 3/8" (36mm)
diameter stand pole.
