Congratulations on your purchase of the IDC™ 150TII. The IDC™ 150TII power amplifier is a three rack
space, solid state, mono power amplifier capable of delivering more than 150 W RMS. The unit has been designed to
be reliable, meeting the needs of most fixed installation applications. One of the most significant features of this
amplifier is its battery backup capability. This amplifier will operate with a 24 V DC external power source as well as
120 V AC power. This means if the AC power mains are lost, the amplifier can still function.
Fully isolated 25 volt and 70 volt line output capabilities are provided with this amplifier. SPS™ compression
is also provided to help eliminate distortion due to clipping. A balanced 600 ohm line out is available to provide signal
to additional amplifiers.
FRONT PANEL FEATURES:
SPS™ LED INDICATOR (1)
When the SPS™ compression is active, this indicator illuminates to show that the amplifier is being overdriven to the
point that the signal runs out of headroom.
POWER LED INDICATORS: MAINS (2) & 24 V DC (3)
Mains: Illuminates green when AC main power is supplied to the amplifier and the main power switch is turned on.
24 V DC: Illuminates red when the DC power is connected and the power switch turned on.
AC POWER SWITCH (4)
Depress to “on” position to turn on amplifier.
DC POWER SWITCH (5)
Depress to “on” position to enable DC backup power.
Note: With both AC and DC power switches turned on and sufficient AC voltage being supplied, the amplifier does not
draw any current from the DC supply.

BACK PANEL FEATURES:
FUSE (6)
WARNING: THE FUSE SHOULD ONLY BE REPLACED WHEN THE POWER CORD HAS
BEEN DISCONNECTED FROM ITS POWER SOURCE.
CAUTION: USING A FUSE LARGER THAN THE RECOMMENDED SIZE COULD
RESULT IN PERMANENT DAMAGE TO THE AMPLIFIER.
The fuse is located within the cap of the fuseholder. If the fuse should fail, IT MUST BE REPLACED
WITH THE SAME TYPE AND VALUE IN ORDER TO AVOID DAMAGE TO THE EQUIPMENT
AND TO PREVENT VOIDING THE WARRANTY. If the unit repeatedly blows fuses, it should be
taken to a qualified service center for repair.
INPUT SENSITIVITY CONTROLS (7)
Maximum input gain (minimum sensitivity rating) is achieved at full clockwise setting. This setting yields maximum
mixer/system headroom. A setting of less than one full clockwise turn will yield lower system noise at the expense of
mixer/system headroom.
AMPLIFIER INPUTS (8)
The terminal strip is configured to allow balanced or unbalanced input signals. When using an unbalanced input signal,
a jumper wire should be placed between the ( - ) and GND terminals.
LINE OUTPUT (9)
This terminal strip is provided to drive the input of other amplifiers. It is a balanced 600 ohm line output.
MATRIX (10)
This jack is to be used with Peavey’s MediaMatrix system. This allows for remote status and control of the amplifier or
several amplifiers.
DC POWER CONNECTOR (11)
This terminal strip should be connected to a battery backup DC power supply with a voltage of approximately
24 V DC. It is important to correctly wire this so that the positive terminal is connected to the positive side of the
battery. An improper connection can result in damage to the battery and/or the amplifier.
AMPLIFIER OUTPUTS (12)
Fully isolated terminal strip is provided for 25 volt and 70 volt line outputs. When using the 25 volt line output the load
impedance should be 4 ohm and when using the 70 volt line output an impedance of approximately 33 ohms is recom-
mended.

INSTALLATION INFORMATION: POWER HANDLING AND GROUNDING
For your safety, we have incorporated a 3-wire line (mains) cable with proper grounding facilities. It is not advisable to
remove the ground pin under any circumstances. If it is necessary to use the equipment without proper grounding
facilities, suitable grounding adapters should be used. Less noise and greatly reduced shock hazard exists when the unit
is operated with the proper grounded receptacles.
ARCHITECTURAL AND ENGINEERING SPECIFICATIONS
The power amplifier shall have one input with provisions for balanced and unbalanced signals via terminal strip. A
600 ohm balanced line output shall be provided, also via terminal strip. The amplifier shall be capable of delivering
150 watts into 4 ohms at the 25 volt line output, and 150 watts into 33 ohms at the 70 volt line output. This unit shall
have the capability of continuously operating if the AC mains are lost, due to its battery backup circuit (the battery must
be provided). This amplifier shall be compatible with Peavey’s MediaMatrix system, providing a jack for easy hook up
and operation. This amplifier must have a signal-to-noise ratio of at least 100 dB below rated output. The unit shall be
called the Peavey Architectural Acoustics Division model IDC™ 150TII.

4.
5.
6.
Read all safety and operating instructions before using this product.
All safety and operating instructions should be retained for future reference.
Obey all cautions in the operating instructions and on the back of the unit.
All operating instructions should be followed.
This product should not be used near water, i.e., a bathtub, sink, swimming pool, wet basement, etc.
This product should be located so that its position does not interfere with its proper ventilation. It should not be placed flat against a
wall or placed in a built-in enclosure that will impede the flow of cooling air.
7.
8.
9.
This product should not be placed near a source of heat such as a stove, radiator, or another heat producing amplifier.
Connect only to a power supply of the type marked on the unit adjacent to the power supply cord.
Never break off the ground pin on the power supply cord. For more information on grounding, write for our free booklet “Shock
Hazard and Grounding.”
10. Power supply cords should always be handled carefully. Never walk or place equipment on power supply cords. Periodically check
cords for cuts or signs of stress, especially at the plug and the point where the cord exits the unit.
11. The power supply cord should be unplugged when the unit is to be unused for long periods of time.
12. If this product is to be mounted in an equipment rack, rear support should be provided.
13. Metal parts can be cleaned with a damp rag. The vinyl covering used on some units can be cleaned with a damp rag or an ammonia-
based household cleaner if necessary. Disconnect unit from power supply before cleaning.
14. Care should be taken so that objects do not fall and liquids are not spilled into the unit through the ventilation holes or any other
openings.
15. This unit should be checked by a qualified service technician if:
a. The power supply cord or plug has been damaged.
b. Anything has fallen or been spilled into the unit.
c. The unit does not operate correctly.
d. The unit has been dropped or the enclosure damaged.
16. The user should not attempt to service this equipment. All service work should be done by a qualified service technician.
17. This product should be used only with a cart or stand that is recommended by Peavey Electronics.
18. Exposure to extremely high noise levels may cause a permanent hearing loss. Individuals vary considerably in susceptibility to noise
induced hearing loss, but nearly everyone will lose some hearing if exposed to sufficiently intense noise for a sufficient time.
The U.S. Government’s Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has specified the following permissible noise level
exposures.

According to OSHA, any exposure in excess of the above permissible limits could result in some hearing loss.
Ear plugs or protectors in the ear canals or over the ears must be worn when operating this amplification system in order to prevent a
permanent hearing loss if exposure is in excess of the limits as set forth above. To ensure against potentially dangerous exposure to high
sound pressure levels, it is recommended that all persons exposed to equipment capable of producing high sound pressure levels such as
this amplification system be protected by hearing protectors while this unit is in operation.
