With its PV1600 Power Amplifier, Peavey brought the superlative sound reproduction of bi-amped technology to DJs, public address, and front of house sound systems, giving performing artists access to the same level of sound quality found in recording studios and the best stereo systems. Peavey PV3800 Power Amplifiers are the essential second component in this combo, powering subwoofers with up to 2650 watts of muscle and further separating the signal path into a tri-amped sound configuration.
When currents of different frequencies travel across the same signal path, distortion and cross talk can result. This is why the best home stereo systems have been bi-amped for years. When low and high frequencies are sent across different paths, interference is reduced, resulting in bass and treble sounds that are more clearly defined. When the bi-amping capability of the PV1600 is combined with the tri-amped power of the PV3800, your audiences will experience booming lows and crisp highs that have never before been possible with traditional power amplifiers. Although the PV3800 is capable of providing stereo or mono amplification on its own and does not require a separate amplifier, it is at its best when it is working in tandem with the PV1600. Musicians looking for similar power from a single amplifier may wish to consider the PV2600 instead.
Like all of the amplifiers across the PV product range, the PV3800 is equipped with numerous features that are designed to protect the amplifier when potentially damaging situations are encountered, including Peavey's famous DDT technology. DDT, short for Distortion Detection Technique, notifies the owner with a front-mounted LED whenever the volume level going into the amplifier is above a safe threshold, and automatically reduces input gain to prevent speaker damage until the input volume is lowered. The PV3800 also has an internal DC cooling fan with variable speed control, which automatically speeds up to force more air through the unit when components become too hot. If an amplification channel is ever in danger of overheating, it will automatically switch off until the temperature is lowered. During this time, the other channel will continue to operate, and the fan will spin at full speed in an effort to cool the disabled channel more quickly.
Peavey PV3800 Power Amplifiers provide the high quality sound that musicians have come to expect, in a tri-amp ready package that is ideal for house sound systems and DJs. The PV3800 is also built with the same rock solid durability as the rest of the PV power amplifier range, ensuring that the unit will be able to operate under the most rigorous conditions for many years.
Peavey PV3800 Power Amplifiers - Summary:
• Able to operate as a standalone amplifier, but made specifically to power subwoofers while sending high frequencies to the PV1600
• Upgrades bi-amped PV1600-based systems to tri-amped ones, producing the highest quality sound reproduction available for live environments
• Contains the same protective circuitry found in other Peavey amplifiers, preventing damage from power spikes and improper loads
