Auto power off:
Disable, 15, 30 or 60 minute delay.
Security Lock: A four digit security lock that can be engaged that will block editing of all parameters. If locked,
entry of the access code will be required to allow temporary access for editing. It will automatically relock after 5
minutes of editing inactivity.
Troubleshooting
No Output at All
First, make sure the unit has AC power and is turned ON. Make sure the LCD on the power amp module is
illuminated.
If not, make certain the ON/OFF switch (1) is in the ON position and check the IEC power cord connection (3)
by ensuring it is fully engaged and seated. Make certain the AC line cord is plugged into a working AC outlet.
Finally, check the fuse (2). (See the Rear Panel: FUSE section, for safety instructions.)
Once assured your unit is getting AC power, check that the SP®2P is getting a signal. Temporarily disconnect the
cable running to its inputs and connect it to some other device capable of reproducing the signal (i.e., a power
amp and speaker). If this produces a signal, make sure that all Level controls being used have been turned up to a
satisfactory level (one-third to halfway).
If the SP®2P has been subjected to direct sunlight or excessive heat, the built-in thermal protection may have
been triggered. If so, turn off the SP®2P and let it cool for a sufficient amount of time.
If there is still no output, contact your authorized Peavey dealer or the Peavey International Service Center.
Hum or Buzz
If the SP®2P is producing a hum or buzz, this can be AC outlet related. Try plugging the SP®2P into a different
AC outlet. Sometimes, if a different
circuit (breaker) is used for the mixer and for the SP®2P, it can cause hum problems. Unless it is not practical, it
is best to use the same wall outlet (breaker) to supply power to both the mixer and the powered speaker.
Ensure that shielded cables have been used to route the signal to the SP®2P input. If speaker cables with 1/4"
plugs are used as input cables instead of shielded cables, they will be prone to hum or buzz.
Hum may be ground loop related. It may be helpful to lift the shield ground (Pin #1) on a balanced cable at the
SP®2P end. Check any input changes carefully by first turning down the Level control, before plugging and un-
plugging cables, or lifting the shield ground at the speaker end.
Check to make sure light dimmers are not on the same circuit as the SP®2P, the mixer or any source devices. If
light dimmers are used, then it may be necessary to turn them full ON or full OFF to eliminate or reduce hum.
This is a typical AC wiring/light dimmer interference problem, not a design flaw of the SP®2P.
The third wire (ground plug) on the AC plug should NEVER be removed or broken off, as this is a potential
safety hazard.
