Installation Unpacking

Upon unpacking, inspect the amplifier. If you find any damage, notify your supplier immediately. Only the consignee may institute a claim with the carrier for damage incurred during shipping. Be sure to save the carton and all packing materials. Should you ever need to ship the unit back to Peavey, one of its offices, service centers or the supplier, use only the original factory packing. If the shipping carton is unavailable, contact Peavey to obtain a replacement.
Because of the complexity of the design and the risk of electrical shock, all repairs must be completed only by qualified technical personnel.

Connecting Power

The PV 3800 amplifier power requirements are rated at 1/8 power (typical music conditions) and 1/3 power (extreme music conditions). The maximum power current draw rating is limited only by the front panel circuit breaker. Consult the specifications in the Specification section for figures on the current that each amplifier will demand. Make sure the mains voltage is correct and is the same as that printed on the rear of the amplifier. Damage caused by connecting the amplifier to improper AC voltage is not covered by any warranty. Unless otherwise specified when ordered, Peavey amplifiers shipped to customers are configured as follows: Option 1 North America 120VAC / 60 Hz

Cooling Requirements

The PV 3800 amplifier uses a forced-air cooling system to maintain a low, consistent operating temperature. Air is drawn into the amplifier by fan(s) on the rear panel, courses through the cooling fins of the tunnel-configured channel heat sink(s), and then exhausts through the front panel grille. If either heat sink gets too hot, its sensing circuit will open the output relay, disconnecting the load from that particular channel. The PV 3800 utilizes one common heat sink and a single fan, but retains the separate circuitry. NOTE: Maintain an adequate air supply at the back of the amplifier and enough space around the front of the amplifier to allow the cooling air to escape. If the amp is rack mounted, do not use doors or covers on the front of the rack; the exhaust air must flow without resistance. If you are using racks with closed backs, use fans on the rear rack panel to pressurize the rack and ensure an ample air supply.
Option 2 Europe, Asia 230/240VAC / 50 Hz

Mounting

The PV 3800 amplifier will mount in standard 19" racks. Rear mounting ears are also provided for additional support, which is recommended in non-permanent installations like mobile or touring sound systems.
Option 3 Australia 240VAC / 50 Hz Option 4 South America 120VAC / 60 Hz or 240VAC / 50 Hz
Always turn off and disconnect the amplifier from mains voltage before making audio connections. Also, as an extra precaution, turn the attenuators down during power-up.

Operating Precautions

Make sure the mains voltage is correct and the same as that printed on the rear of the amplifier. Damage caused by connecting the amplifier to improper AC voltage is not covered by any warranty. See the Connecting Power section for more information on voltage requirements. Although the PV 3800 amplifier has RAMPUP circuitry, which raises the signal level gradually after the output relay closes, 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. Whether you buy or make them, use good-quality connections, input cables and speaker cables, along with good soldering technique, to ensure trouble-free operation. Most intermittent problems are caused by faulty cables. Consult the Wire Gauge Chart to determine proper gauges for different load impedances and cable lengths. Remember that cable resistance robs amplifier power in two ways: power lost directly to resistance (I2R loss), and by increasing the total load impedance, thereby decreasing the power demanded of the amplifier. Also, make sure the mode switch is correctly set for the desired application. See Sections on Stereo, Parallel and Bridged Mono Mode for more information.

Make certain that there is enough space around the front and rear of the amplifier to allow the heated air to escape. Suggestion: In racks with closed backs, allow at least one standard-rack-space opening for every four mounted power amplifiers.

Front Panel

AC POWER SWITCH/CIRCUIT BREAKER The PV 3800 amplifier has a combination AC switch/circuit breaker on the front panel. If the switch shuts off during normal use, push it back to the 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 channels operating status and warn of possible abnormal conditions.
DDT (DISTORTION DETECTION TECHNIQUE) LED A channels DDT LED will light at the onset of clipping. If the LEDs are flashing quickly and intermittently, the channel is just at the clip threshold. A steady, bright glow means the amp is clip limiting, or reducing gain to prevent severely clipped waveforms from reaching the loudspeakers. See the Distortion Detection Technique section for more information. During initial power-up the DDT LED will light to indicate that the RAMPUP gain reduction circuitry is activated. This prevents sudden signal bursts when the speaker relays are closed. SIGNAL LED This LED lights when its channel produces an output signal of about 4 volts RMS or more (0.1 volt or more at the input, with 0 dB attenuation and standard x40 voltage gain). This signal indicates whether a signal is reaching and being amplified by the amplifier. POWER LED The Power LED indicates that its channels output relay is closed and the channel is operational. It lights under normal operation and remains on, even when the channel is in Distortion Detection Technique or DDT gain reduction. These protection features leave the output relay closed. If the Power LED goes off, there is no signal at the output connectors. INPUT ATTENUATORS Whenever possible, set the attenuators fully clockwise to maintain optimum system headroom. The input attenuator controls, located at the front panel (one for channel A, one for channel B), adjust gain for their respective amplifier channels in all modes. See the specifications at the end of this manual for standard voltage gain and input sensitivity information.
The power only breaks one side of the AC mains. Hazardous energy may be present in the enclosure when the power switch is in the OFF position.
When operating in the Bridged Mode, both attenuators must be in the same position so the speaker load will be equally shared between the channels. See the section on Bridged Mono operation for more information and precautions.

Rear Panel

AC POWER INLET: This is the receptacle for an IEC line cord, which provides AC power to the unit. Connect the line cord to this connector to provide power to the unit. Damage to the equipment may result if improper line voltage is used. (See line voltage marking on unit). Never break off the ground pin on any equipment. It is provided for your safety. If the outlet used does not have a ground pin, a suitable grounding adapter should be used and the third wire should be grounded properly. To prevent the risk of shock or fire hazard, always make sure that the amplifier and all associated equipment is properly grounded. NOTE: FOR U.K. ONLY As the colors of the wires in the mains lead of this apparatus may not correspond with the colored markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows: (1) The wire which is colored green and yellow must be connected to the terminal which is marked by the letter E, or by the Earth symbol, or colored green or green and yellow. (2) The wire which is colored blue must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter N, or the color black. (3) The wire which is colored brown must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter L, or the color red. To avoid the risk of electrical shock, do not place fingers or any other objects into empty tube sockets while power is being supplied to unit.
LOW CUT SWITCH This switch is used to activate the LOW CUT filter for the corresponding channel. It is a push-type switch, that requires a small tool to activate. The IN position routes the input signals through the 40 Hz LOW CUT filter, while the OUT position bypasses the filter. This filter will cut extremely low frequencies, protecting speakers from the possibility of over-excursion. The filter low-frequency rolloff is 12 dB per octave. The LOW CUT filter for each channel will function independently of the crossover function. CROSSOVER SWITCH (100 Hz crossover) 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. Rather than having a flat output curve, these crossovers use special filters to tailor the response and provide a flat acoustical output. This type of crossover sounds more natural than conventional state-variable crossovers. With the switch IN, the input signals are routed through the crossover and the low frequencies are automatically sent to the corresponding channel. At the same time, the high frequencies are sent to the HIGH OUT (9) jack and must then be patched to the INPUT of the other channel of this amplifier or to another amplifier input to complete the bi-amped system. With the switch OUT, the crossover is defeated and the input signal is

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. Unlike the low-frequency crossover output that is automatically routed to the associated channel, the high-frequency output signal must be patched to some suitable input in order to complete the bi-amped system. This 1/4 jack also provides an unbalanced (tip/sleeve) output to be patched with single-conductor shielded cables. CONN. MODE SELECT SWITCH Depressing the rear panel CONN. MODE select switch connects both input connectors together in parallel. This directs the same input signal to both channels and allows one connector to be used with a patch cable to drive another amplifier. In the OUT position, both input connectors operate independently. Do not operate the CONN. MODE select switch with the amplifier powered on. See the sections on Stereo, Parallel and Bridged Mono Mode for more information. SELECT SWITCH The rear panel AMP MODE select switch determines if the amplifier is in stereo (two channels) or in Bridged Mono Mode. Do not operate the AMP MODE select switch with the amplifier powered on. See the Operations Mode section for more information on Stereo, Parallel and Bridged Mono Mode applications. CONNECTING INPUTS Input connections are made via the 3-pin XLR (pin 2+) or 6.3 mm plug Combi connectors on the rear panel of the amplifier. The inputs are actively balanced. The input overload point is high enough to accept the maximum output level of virtually any signal source. CONNECTING OUTPUTS All models have two output (speaker) connections per channel. Cables can be connected with banana plugs, spade lugs, or bare wire to the five-way binding posts. The preferred method is connection via the Speakon connectors.
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. For example, a signal at channel As input produces an amplified signal at channel As output, while a signal at channel Bs input produces an amplified signal at channel Bs output.

Parallel Operation

For parallel (dual channel/single input) operation, turn the amplifier off and set the connector mode (Conn, Mode) switch to the parallel position by depressing the switch. Both input connectors are then strapped together and drive both channels with the same input signal. Because both connectors are strapped together, either connector can be used with a patch cable to drive the input of another amplifier. Output connections are the same as in the Stereo Mode. In Parallel Mode, both input attenuators remain active, allowing users to set different levels for each channel. Power and other general performance specifications are the same as in the Stereo Mode.

Bridged Operation

Both amplifier channels can be bridged together to make a very powerful single-channel monaural amplifier. Use extreme caution when operating in bridged mode; potentially lethal voltage may be present at the output terminals. To bridge the amplifier, depress the rear panel Amp Mode switch (11) to the IN position. Direct the signal to channel As input and connect the speakers across pin +1 and pin +2 of the channel A Speakon output connector. Only channel As input attenuator is active while in Bridged Mono mode. Both connectors are strapped together, so either connector can be used with a patch cable to drive the input of another amplifier. When operating in the Bridged Mode, both attenuators must be in the same position so the speaker load will be equally shared between the channels.
Unlike the Stereo and Parallel Modes, in which one side of each output is at ground, in the Bridged Mode both sides are hot. Pin +1 is Channel As side, which is the same polarity as the input. The minimum nominal load impedance in the Bridge Mode is 4 ohms, which is equivalent to driving both channels at 2 ohms. Driving bridged loads of less than 4 ohms will activate DDT circuitry, resulting in a loss of power and potential thermal overload.

Protection Features

The PV 3800 amplifier incorporates several circuits to protect both themselves and loudspeakers under virtually 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 gain reduction mode, the speaker load remains connected, but clipping percentage or output power are instantly reduced. DC voltage on the output, excessive subsonic frequencies or thermal overload will cause the channels output relay to disconnect the speaker load until the problem is corrected or the amplifier cools down.

Distortion Detection Technique (DDT)
Any time a channel is driven into hard, continuous clipping, the DDT circuit will automatically reduce the channel gain to a level just slightly into clipping, guarding the speakers against the damaging high power continuous square waves that may be produced. Situations that may activate the DDT circuit include uncontrolled feedback, oscillation, an improper equipment setting or malfunction upstream from the amplifier. Normal program transients will not trigger the DDT, only steady, excessive clipping will. The DDT LED will glow brightly and continuously when limiting occurs.

LFC Impedance Sensing

The PV 3800 amplifier features innovative circuitry that allows safe operation into any load. When an amplifier sees a load that overstresses the output stage, the Load Fault Correction (LFC) circuit adjusts the channel gain to a safe level. This method of output-stage protection is far superior to conventional, brute force-type limiting found on other amplifiers. The LFC circuit is sonically transparent in normal use and unobtrusive when activated.

Thermal Protection

Internal fans keep the amplifier operating well within its intended temperature range under all normal conditions. If a channels heat sink temperature reaches 75C, which may indicate an obstructed air supply, that channel will independently protect itself by disconnecting its load and shutting down until it has cooled. During this time, the POWER LED will go out, the DDT LEDs will remain lit and the cooling fans will continue running at high speed.

Short Circuit

If an output is shorted, the LFC and thermal circuits will automatically protect the amplifier. The LFC circuit senses the short circuit as an extremely stressful load condition and attenuates the signal, protecting the channels output transistors from over-current stress. If the short circuit remains, the channel will eventually thermally protect itself by disconnecting the load.

DC Voltage Protection

If an amplifier channel detects DC voltage or subsonic frequencies at its output terminals, its output relay will immediately open to prevent loudspeaker damage.
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 Signal Control

Whenever a PV 3800 amplifier powers up or comes out of a protect mode, the RAMPUP circuit activates. While the speakers are disconnected, the RAMPUP circuit fully attenuates the signal and activates the DDT LED. After the output relay closes, the signal slowly and gradually raises to its set level. The PWR LED will illuminate and the DDT LED will turn off when the signal is no longer attenuated. The RAMPUP Signal Control circuit has some important advantages over conventional instant-on circuits: 1. If a signal is present during power-up (or when coming out of protect), the speakers are spared a sudden, potentially damaging burst of audio power. 2. Because the gain is reduced until after the output relay closes, no arcing occurs at the contacts. This extends the contacts useful life.

Amplifier Maintenance and User Responsibility
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. Many loudspeakers can be easily damaged or destroyed by overpowering, especially with the high power available from a bridged amplifier. Read the Speaker Protection section and always be aware of the speakers continuous and peak power capabilities.
