ENGLISH Introduction Thank you for purchasing the powered version of the Impulse® 100. The 100P features a biamped power section that provides 200 Watts peak dynamic power for the woofer, and 70 Watts peak dynamic power for the compression driver tweeter, both with Peavey’s DDT™ compression. Offering a 10" heavy-duty, longthrow woofer and the 14XT™ compression driver, the 100P provides line-level balanced inputs with volume control and loop-thru jacks.
PANEL DESCRIPTION REAR 2 FRONT 5 1 3 (1) FUSE The unit is AC power line fuse protected from overloads and fault conditions with an ABC-type fast-blow 5 Amp fuse. In the rare event of a fuse blowing: first make sure the unit is unplugged and the power switch is in the OFF position, then replace the blown fuse ONLY with a fast-blow 5 Amp 250V AC rated fuse. Be sure to fully seat and close the replacement fuse and fuse holder cap.
(7) LOOP-THRU JACKS Loop Out takes the signal after the balanced inputs and the volume control and allows one to send this signal to another Impulse® 100P via its Loop In Jack. These are unbalanced high Z jacks, so do not run the cable very far. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS 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 heat sink on the back plate can become hot to the touch.
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.
Use of high-quality premium cables is recommended for the Impulse® 100P, as these usually have better shielding and materials, and will provide greater long term reliability. It is usually a good idea to leave some slack at the input to the Impulse 100P and to also tape the cables down or run them under a cable guard to avoid anyone tripping over them or pulling the Impulse 100P over when stand mounted.
TROUBLESHOOTING No Output at All First, make sure the unit has AC power and is turned on. If so, the Power LED (4) should be illuminated. If it is not, check that the On-Off switch (3) is in the “On” position, check the IEC power cord connection (2), making sure it is fully engaged and seated. Make sure the AC line cord is plugged into a working AC outlet, and last, check the fuse (2) {see the REAR PANEL/Fuse section for safety instructions}.
Finally, realize that even though the Impulse® 100P is a very powerful and high output unit, it does ultimately have limits, and it may need additional powered units (or a subwoofer) to provide enough sound output or coverage. In this case, try turning the mixer levels down a little to see if that clears things up.
