Peavey Impulse 100P Stereo Amplifier User Manual


 
7
Always use all four inserts of a given group as a set; NEVER use just one insert to fly a cabinet! The four insert
groupings are a top group of four and a bottom group of four, some models have a group of four on the rear plane
of the cabinet.
Maximum enclosure angle from vertical hang: 30˚
Always use a suitable safety chain or wire rope, looped through the top handle, and firmly attached to a suitable
structural member as indicated by a certified structural engineer.
The recommended range of torque for the mounting bolt is 3 to 3 1/2 foot/lbs of torque. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN! If
an insert spins, it has been damaged, and the cabinet can not be flown!
Never transport the cabinet while mounted on an array bracket, or other mounting bracket.This may unduly stress
the mounting inserts.

(note to structural engineer)
For the Impulse
®
100P the thread insertion depth of the end of the mounting bolt should not be more than 5/16"
past the surface of the cabinet.
If these thread insertion depths are exceeded, then the inserts may be damaged or unseated from the cabinet,
severely compromising the mounting integrity of the cabinet!
The correct mounting bolt diameter and threads per inch are: 1/4" x 20. Use of a grade five bolt is recommended.

The Impulse 100P comes with an 8 foot IEC connection AC power cord. It is likely that some sort of extension cord
will be used with this powered speaker system, so make sure that the extension cord is no longer than necessary,
and is of a sufficient current capacity to maintain safety. Extension cords no longer than necessary and of the
largest current capacity available will maximize the power output capability of the Impulse 100P’s internal
amplifiers. For best results, do not power anything else from the extension cord used to power the Impulse 100P,
in order to minimize the voltage drop that all extension cords cause. Running just one extension cord back to the
wall plug for the entire sound system is not the way to maximize sound system performance.
The third wire ground plug on the AC plug should NEVER be removed or broken off; this seriously compromises
safety.

The built-in pole adapter allows use with the Peavey SP Subcompact 18X, and the accessory pole that it is
designed to use, Peavey part #00326540.
The pole used is 36 3/16" long, and has a nominal diameter of 1 3/8".

The Impulse 100P has a variety of ways to input a signal to the system.
The balanced line level input(s) allow the use of a 1/4" phone plug, either a standard single-ended (tip-sleeve)
plug, or a balanced RTS (ring-tip-sleeve) type plug OR either a male or female XLR plug. Do not connect cables to
the jacks while the units are on and the volume is turned up!
While the standard single-ended 1/4" phone plug will work well, and the balanced input circuitry will provide
some interference rejection, a balanced cable using either the balanced RTS 1/4" phone plug or the XLR plug will
provide superior interference rejection and performance. Sometimes, with difficult interference problems, it will
be helpful to lift the shield ground on a balanced cable at the Impulse 100P end only. Check any input changes
carefully, always turning the volume control down before plugging and unplugging cables.
