The Peavey Architectural Acoustics A/A-8P ™ preamp is a high-quality mic/line preamp with eight separate
transformer balanced inputs. Each channel provides a level control with a selectable mic or line input to
accommodate a wide range of input levels.
The A/A-8P front panel provides immediate indication of signal status with an activity and clip LED. Included
in each channel's signal path is a level limiter which is preset at the optimum input level for the MM-8840
and MM-8830 Digital Interface. Also, each channel provides industry standard +48 volts of phantom power.
Both the limiter and phantom power are user enabled on a per channel basis with convenient dip switches
located on the back panel. The inputs and outputs are both "Euro" type connectors. To reduce unauthorized
or accidental level changes, we have provided tamper resistant level controls that are installer adjustable
with a screw driver.
The A/A-8P is ruggedly packaged in an industry standard 19" single rack space unit.
