4. USER LIABILITY
4.1 Damage to speakers
Check the peak power and continuous power of the
ampliers at all times.
These ampliers are extremely powerful and may be
potentially dangerous to both speakers and human beings.
Most loudspeaker systems may be easily damaged or broken, often if they are
driven by bridged ampliers. Although the gain may be attenuated by using
the controls on the front panel of the amplier, the maximum power output
can still be reached if the input signal is sufficiently high.
4.2 Dangerous output voltage
Ampliers can generate dangerous output voltage.
Do not touch any exposed speaker cables while the amplier
is operating.
4.3 Radio interferences
A sample of this product has been tested and approved in compliance with
the limits set out by the Electromagnetic Compatibility Directive (EMC). These
limits have been determined in order to provide reasonable protection from
dangerous interferences caused by electrical appliances.
Shouldthisproductnotbe installed or used in compliance with theinstructions
as set out in this manual, it might interfere with other appliances such as radio
receivers, for example. There is no guarantee, however, that interferences will
not occur in a particular installation.
Should the device interfere with two-way radios (switching the
device on and off will allow you to check whether this is the
case), you should try to eliminate the interference by adopting
one of the following measures:
A) Increase the distance between the appliance and the receiver.
B) Connect the appliance to a socket positioned on a circuit
different from which the receiver is connected to.
C) Re-position or move the aerial of the receiver.
Check that the unit complies with the EMC immunity limits (it must carry
the CE mark). All electrical appliances sold in the EU must be approved for
immunity to electromagnetic elds, high voltage and radio interferences.
Seek professional assistance.

1. CHA/CHB (CHC/CHD) - Precision input level controls that allows the amplification level of each channel to be adjusted.
Note: when using in bridged mode (only applicable to PS650-F, PS1000 and PS1400 amplifiers), the various
level attenuators must be in the same position. We recommend setting them on the 0 position.
2. TEMP - When the temperature LED lights up, the channel gets deactivated as a protection measure against
overheating. The fan will continue to operate so as to bring the temperature down as quickly as possible.
Note: this situation normally occurs when there is inadequate ventilation. Check the amplifier installation
carefully.
3. PROTECT - This protection LED lights up when the load connected is below 1 Ω or the amplifier output has been
short-circuited.
4.a) CLIP - LED indicator for input signal clip point.
4.b) SIGNAL - LED indicator for signal presence.
5.a) SIG/CLIP - Dual-mode LED indicator for both signal presence (green) and signal clip point (red).
5.b) BRIDGE - LED indicator for amplifier operating in bridged mode.
6. POWER - On/Off switch.
7. Ventilation grille for correct amplifier ventilation.
8. 19’’ rack installation holes.

Gli amplicatori Professional Series sono disponibili in sei modelli
differenti per potenza e numero di canali. I modelli PS1000,
PS1600, PS2000, PS2600, PS3400 sono a due canali ed erogano
potenze da 450 W no a 1700 W per canale a 4 Ω. Il modello
PS650-F invece, dispone di quattro canali da 650 W sempre a
4 Ω. Tutti gli amplicatori della linea Professional Series sono
stati progettati per le speciche esigenze nel campo dell’audio
professionale, secondo criteri di massima afdabilità e funzionalità
d’impiego. L’erogazione di potenza risulta costante anche ad
alti regimi, con una bassa dissipazione termica ed un elevato
rendimento grazie all’impiego di trasformatori toroidali a basse
perdite che garantiscono un margine esteso al di sopra dell’uscita
nominale dichiarata. L’alimentatore risulta protetto contro possibili
sovratensioni, surriscaldamenti o cortocircuiti. Ogni modulo nale
risulta completamente indipendente sia nelle protezioni elettriche
che in quelle termiche, infatti ciascun canale possiede un proprio
dissipatore e un controllo della temperatura indipendente che agisce
direttamente sulla ventola di raffreddamento. E’ costantemente
monitorato il segnale, con controllo e indicazione del livello
tramite LED sul pannello frontale. Un limitatore interno permette di
proteggere gli altoparlanti dai danni dovuti a segnali in distorsione.
La costruzione meccanica e la successiva lavorazione sono tali
da garantire elevati standard di fabbricazione. Il rigido chassis in
acciaio rende l’amplicatore capace di sopportare anche i tour più
impegnativi garantendo sempre la massima afdabilità in qualsiasi
condizione operativa.

6. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE SERIES
Professional Series amplifiers are available in six models,
differentiated according to power ratings and number of channels.
PS1000, PS1400, PS2000, PS2600, and PS3400 models are two-
channel amplifiers capable of delivering from 450 W up to 1700 W
per channel onto 4 Ω. PS650-F model, by contrast, has four 650 W
channels, also onto 4 Ω.
All Professional Series amplifiers have been designed to meet the
specific requirements of the world of professional audio based
on criteria of maximum reliability and ease of use. Power delivery
remains constant even at high loads, with low heat dissipation and
high performance thanks to low-leakage toroidal transformers, which
provide an extra margin above the stated nominal output. The power
supply unit is protected against possible overvoltages, overheating
and short circuiting.
Each of the power stage modules is fully independent in terms of both
electrical and thermal protections. Each channel, in fact, is equipped
with its own heat sink and independent temperature control which
acts directly on the cooling fan.
The signal is constantly monitored, with the LED light on the front
panel checking and indicating the level.
An internal limiter provides loudspeaker system protection against
signal distortion. The mechanical construction and subsequent circuit
engineering are such as to guarantee high production standards.
Thanks to its rigid steel chassis, the amplifier is able to withstand even
the toughest tours, guaranteeing maximum reliability in all operating
conditions.

• Using in stereo mode (standard)
When using in stereo mode, each channel operates independently and
the dedicated input attenuators control the respective channel level.
The recommended minimum load for using in stereo mode is 4 Ω per
channel for all Peecker Sound Professional Series models (see Technical
Specifications).To connect the input signal, use the Cannon XLR connectors
on the rear panel. The loudspeaker systems must be connected to the
Neutrik® SpeakOn output connectors.
7. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
7 .1 Connection to the AC mains supply and power absorption
Check that your mains power supply is sufficient for the power requirement of
your amplier (consult the data at the end of this manual). Note that the voltage
of the electric mains should correspond to the voltage indicated on the back of
the amplier. Maximum current absorption is limited by internal fuses.
Note: Remember that before connecting any of the cables
it is always better to switch o and disconnect the amplier
from the power supply. When switching on the amplier, the
volume controls should always be set to the lowest level.
7 .2 Cooling
Pay particular attention to the ventilation/cooling conditions of the ampliers.
An internal system of forced airflow by means of a variable speed fan allows
the heat sinks to cool down from the heat generated by power parts. The air
ows from the front panel of the amplier to its rear panel, so that the air is
drawn in from the front opening and let out through the back opening.
Ensure that there is sufficient space in front of the appliance to allow
adequate inflow and outflow of air. With rack installation, make sure there
are sucient openings for air to ow freely through the amplier.
7 .3 Connection cables
To connect the amplier to the speakers, always use suitable cables to avoid
amplier power dispersion due to inadequate cable section.
When connecting the amplier to the mixer, only use shielded cables and
not electric power cables. The main inputs and outputs are connected using
Cannon® XLR and Neutrik® SpeakOn connectors.
7 .4 Congurations
Make sure the unit is switched o before conguring according to your
requirements. To turn on the unit, use the ON/OFF switch located on the
right of the front panel. To adjust the volume of individual channels turn the
corresponding knobs, i.e. ChA/ChB for PS1000, PS1400, PS2000, PS2600 and
PS3400 and ChA/ChB/ChC/ChD for PS650-F.
With audio systems it is always better to switch off the amplifier first. Remember
to switch o the amplier before connecting or disconnecting it to other units
and always switch on the mixer rst and then the amplier, in order to avoid
peaks that could cause disturbances and may damage the speakers.

• Using in mono bridge mode
To activate the mono bridge mode, set the switches on the rear panel on
the Bridge position. This conguration is only available in PS650-F, PS1000
and PS1400 models. Using in mono bridge mode requires both amplier
channels (A and B, C and D) to operate with the same input signal
but with inverted phases. Power values can be found in the technical
specications table at the end of this manual.
To use the PS650-F model in mono bridge mode, the input signal
necessarily has to be connected to Ch A (for bridging between Ch
A and Ch B) and to Ch C (for bridging between Ch C and Ch D). The
corresponding volume is adjusted using the potentiometers of Ch A and
Ch C. Make sure that the level attenuators are in the same position.
In the case of PS1000, the input signal necessarily has to be connected
to Ch A and the corresponding volume is thus adjusted using the
potentiometer of Ch A.
The input signal for PS1400, on the other hand, must necessarily be
connected to Ch A and the corresponding volume is thus adjusted by
the potentiometer of Ch A. To connect the input signal, use the Cannon®
XLR connectors on the rear panel. The speakers must be connected to
the Neutrik® SpeakOn output connectors.
Note: when using in bridge mode do not connect loads
under 8 Ω.
• Parallel inputs
Parallel mode is activated using the dedicated switches on the rear panel.
When operating in parallel mode, the inputs of both channels are connected
and receive the same signal.
This function is only available in models PS1000 and PS1400. To connect the
input signal, use Cannon® XLR connectors.
The loudspeaker systems must be connected to the Neutrik® SpeakOn
output connectors.
Make sure that only the inputs are connected in parallel. Never
earth positive output terminals or connect them in parallel.

8. PROTECTION SYSTEM FEATURES
All Peecker Sound Professional Series ampliers are equipped with
powerful systems to protect the amplier and its load.
Protection systems are designed to ensure that power ampliers have a long
operating life.
8.1 Limiter
When the CLIP LED lights up, the limiter is active. In this case the channel
gain will be reduced automatically to protect the load (acoustic speakers)
from damage caused by a distorted signal.
The limiter circuit cannot be deactivated, except for the PS1000 amplifier.
8.2 Thermal protection
The temperature level of the heat sink is constantly monitored, as indicated by
the TEMP LED. When the heat sink temperature goes above 60° C the cooling
fan switches on, while at 90° C (anomalous operating condition) the TEMP LED
lights up and the whole system goes into mute mode until the temperature
returns to normal levels.
8.3 Load safety control
The state of the input signal in Peecker Sound ampliers is constantly
monitored. Should the power load exceed the maximum allowable level,
the output voltage will be automatically readjusted so that the amplier
can operate safely. Should the connected load impedance be signicantly
below recommended levels, the amplier output phase will be inhibited.
8.4 DC Protection
The presence of a DC voltage is monitored on both channels independently.
If a value equal to or above 7 Volts is detected, the amplier output stage will
be inhibited. This protects the speakers against DC voltage.
8.5 Power on/off transients
To eliminate power on/off transients, which can damage the loudspeaker
systems, a soft start circuit is enabled that connects the load with delay and
disconnects it immediately.
9. TESTING PROCEDURE FOR ELECTRO-MECHANICAL OPERATION
The testing protocols for the various series of ampliers manufactured
by Sound Corporation (XTDT series by X-Treme and PSDSP and PS series
by Peecker Sound) have been designed according to the FMEA (Failure
Mode and Effect Analysis) method.
This is a risk assessment system deriving from electro-mechanical
reliability studies used widely in industrial and non-industrial sectors to
evaluate the reliability of both products and processes. FMEA consists
of procedures for analysing potential failures; they are repeatable,
transparent and guarantee total control of the operating functions and
absolute reliability of the manufactured products.
FMEA results basically consist of the following two documents:
• The rst is an internal Sound Corporation tool designed for the Product
Development Department with an indication of the various critical areas
detected and suggested actions for improvement, such as increasing
MTTF (Mean Time to Failure) and/or the life cycle of the amplier under
investigation.
• The second arises from detailed knowledge of failure modes and is
used to determine precisely the amplier correct operating conditions
as well as the corresponding checking operations.
This procedure is also available to the nal customer in the form of
checking procedure for the amplifier correct electro-mechanical
operation, as provided below.
Note: Before removing any module or connector,
remember to disconnect the amplier from the mains and
take care when handling power supply capacitors as they
might be under load.
To prevent short-circuits during testing, the oscilloscope must be earth
insulated. Do not test the amplier while the speakers or cones are output
connected, use the appropriate dummy loads only. When increasing the
output voltage of the variable voltage transformer (Variac), never exceed
the amplier nominal output value plus its tolerance, since higher voltage
levels might seriously damage the amplier.
9 .1 Required equipment
List of testing equipment:
• Digital multimeter
• AC millivoltmeter
• Dual trace oscilloscope
• Audio signal generator
• 15A-250V Variac
• Two 4 Ω (1800W) dummy loads
• Two 8 Ω (1100W) dummy loads
• Audio Precision (AP) analyser
• Vibrating table for mechanical testing
• Withstanding voltage tester
9 .2 Visual check
Check that the product is correctly assembled and verify whether there
are any incorrectly mounted or damaged parts, open connections or
short circuits.

9 .3 Electrical testing procedures
1. Use the withstanding voltage tester to test the amplier: turn o the
amplier, set the voltage testing level at 1500 V and the test time at 60
seconds. If the leakage current does not go above 5 mA the test has
been successful.
2. Check the whole unit thoroughly for any short circuits using the
multimeter. Verify that the voltage supply and earthing are correct
and that the power supply cable is undamaged. After the amplier has
been turned on once, make sure there are no short circuits.
3. Using the Variac, set the power supply in the primary coil of the
transformer at 230 V. This voltage value has to be monitored and
adjusted in order to be kept constant throughout the duration of
the test. Turn the amplier on and o six times to check whether the
power switch works correctly, the relays are activated (with a certain
amount of delay), and both protection LEDs are flashing.
4. Check that the voltages in the power supply module are as follows:
• PS650-F:
A) AC voltage values in the secondary coil should be:
65V---0---65V, 20V---0---20V, 17V---0---17V, 0---10V.
B) DC voltage on the amplier modules should be ±89 V.
(tolerance: ±1V).
C) Protection circuits power supply voltage: ±24 V.
(tolerance ±2 V).
D) Fans power supply voltage: -24V (tolerance ±2 V).
E) Power supply voltage in the pre-amplier module: ±12 V
(tolerance ≤ ±0.5V).
• PS1000:
A) AC voltage values in the secondary coil should be:
56V---0---56V (GRN---BLK---BLU).
B) DC voltage on the amplier module should be ±77 V.
C) Fans’ power supply voltage: +24 V.
• PS1400:
A) AC voltage values in the secondary coil should be:
65V---0---65V (GRN---BLK---GRN), 19V---0---19V (BLU---BLK---BLU),
17V---0---17V (YEL---BLK---YEL), 0---10V (WHI---WHI).
B) DC voltage on the amplier module should be ±88 V.
C) Fans’ power supply voltage: +24 V.
• PS2000-PS2600-PS3400
A) AC voltage values in the secondary coil should be:
56V---0---56V (PS3400), 50V---0---50V (PS2600), 45V---0-45V (PS2000).
All models must have the following AC output voltage values:
19V---0---19V, 17---0---17V, 0---10V.
B) DC voltage on the amplier modules should be:
±78 V (PS3400), ±68 V (PS2600), ±61 V (PS2000)
(tolerance: ±1 V).
C) Protection circuits power supply voltage: ±24V (tolerance ±2 V).
D) Fans power supply voltage: +24 V.
E) Power supply voltage in the pre-amplier module: ±12 V.
(tolerance ≤ ±0.5 V).
5. Check that the background noise in both channels is below 1 mV (-58
dBu) and that there is no signal after switching off the unit. Use the
oscilloscope to perform this test, connecting a speaker for a sound
check if necessary.

Measure the voltage on collectors for Q104, Q103, Q204 and Q203 and
check that it is ±1.2 V. If necessary, adjust the 1 kΩ trimmer so that this
value has a tolerance level less than or equal to ±0.1 V (≤ ±0.1 V). The
output terminal DC voltage must be less than or equal to 10 mV (≤ 10
mV).
6. Dynamic testing:
• Set a sinusoidal signal at 1 kHz (set the signal level at a value close to clip
LED activating signal).
• Connect a 4 Ω load (of suitable power) in one channel only. The output
signal voltage should be: 57 V (PS650-F), 47 V (PS1000), 56 V (PS1400), 72 V
(PS2000), 82 V (PS2600), 92 V (PS3600).
• Check that the output waveform is regular. Shake the input/output
connectors to check that they are reliable and there are no faulty contacts.
7. Signal LED test: check that the LED lights up when there is an input signal
(set the Gain of each channel at maximum level).
8. Make sure that the crosstalk is greater than or equal to 50 dB (≤ 50 dB).
9. Check that the CMRR (@ 1kHz) is greater than or equal to 60 dB (≤ 60 dB).
10. Check the phase between output and input.
11. Connect the 8 Ω loads on both channels, set the volume to maximum
level and check that there is no background noise due to the power supply
transformer.
12. Test the frequency response: 20 Hz-20 kHz ±0.5 dB.
13. Bring the heat sink temperature to 50° C (PS650-F, PS1400, PS2000, PS2600,
PS3400) or 70° C (PS1000) and check that the fans are operating (and
noiseless).
14. Check that, at maximum output power, the current is:
• PS650-F: 6 A with an 8 Ω load; 10 A with a 4 Ω load
• PS1000: 6 A with an 8 Ω load; 10 A with a 4 Ω load
• PS1400: 7 A with an 8 Ω load; 13 A with a 4 Ω load
• PS2000: 9 A with an 8 Ω load; 15 A with a 4 Ω load
• PS2600: 10 A with an 8 Ω load; 18 A with a 4 Ω load
• PS3400: 11 A with an 8 Ω load; 20.5 A with a 4 Ω load
15. Output protection test: short-circuit the output with 0 Ω and check that the
protection system activates (the relays should disconnect the load).
16. Adjust the mains power supply voltage (using the Variac) from 205 V to 255V
and check that the amplier is operating correctly.
17. Check that the THD (@ 1kHz) is less than or equal to 0.08% with an 8Ω load.
18. Test for vibrations and correct amplier operation using the vibrating table
for mechanical tests:
• Vibration frequency: 5-60 Hz
• Direction: vertical, horizontal
• Test duration: 180 seconds
• Check that there is no output signal after the vibration test has been
performed.
19. Burn-in test
• Using a Pink Noise generator, set the input signal so as to obtain 1/8 of
nominal output power @ 4Ω.
• Check that the Clip LEDs light up occasionally though not too repeatedly.
• After 4 hours of testing, check general operating functions.
