ICA Series amplifiers represent new levels of value and flexibility never before offered to the
contracting market. The ICA Series features models specifically designed to drive 4-ohm outputs,
70.7-volt outputs, and 100-volt outputs. 70.7 and 100-volt outputs can be driven directly, eliminating
the need for transformers or autoformers. These amplifiers cover almost every installed or
distributed sound power requirement imaginable.
ICA Series amplifiers are ruggedly built from high-quality components and feature comprehensive
protection circuits to protect your amplifier from those “real world” occurrences.
If you need setup or operational assistance for this product, please call the Peavey Electronics
Customer Service Department or your local Peavey Electronics representative. We appreciate
