CIRCUIT BREAKER (1)

The unit is AC power line protected from overloads and fault conditions with a 5 amp circuit breaker. This 

breaker should not trip unless there is a fault in the amplifier circuitry or an abnormal operating condition which 

causes excessive mains current to flow. If the breaker trips, set the Power switch (3) to OFF, wait a brief period 

of time for the breaker to cool, then reset the breaker.
If the circuit breaker trips, the center button will pop outward approximately 1/4”, and can be reset by pushing 

upward and inward. Under normal (not tripped) conditions, the center button is relatively flat.
If the unit continues to trip the breaker, or trips it immediately after being reset, do not keep resetting it. The 

system should be taken to a qualified Peavey Service Center for repair.

IEC POWER CORD CONNECTION (2)

This receptacle is for the IEC line cord (supplied) that provides AC power to the unit. It is very important that 

you ensure the proper AC line voltage is supplied to the Impulse

®

 12D. You can find the proper voltage for your 

Impulse

®

 12D printed next to the IEC line (power cord) on the rear panel of the unit. 

Never break off the ground pin on any equipment. It is provided for your safety. If the outlet used does not have 

a ground pin, a suitable grounding adapter should be used and the third wire should be grounded properly. To 

prevent the risk of shock or fire hazard, always be sure that the mixer and all other associated equipment are 

properly grounded.

NOTE: FOR U.K. ONLY
As the colors of the wires in the mains lead of this apparatus may not correspond with the colored markings 

identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows: 
(1) The wire which is colored green and yellow must be connected to the terminal which is marked by the letter 

E, or by the Earth symbol, or colored green or green and yellow. (2) The wire which is colored blue must be 

connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter N, or the color black. (3) The wire which is colored 

brown must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter L, or the color red.

Applications

The Peavey Impulse

®

 12D has a variety of applications, including sound reinforcement, public address, side 

fill system, karaoke and musical playback. 

A typical signal source for the line-level inputs of the Peavey Impulse

®

 12D would be a sound 

reinforcement mixing console (mixer) or the output from a CD player, MP3 player or tape deck. A dynamic 
microphone can be connected directly and used as well.

REAR PANEL BOTTOM

our patented DDT

 compression, which virtually eliminates audible power amplifier clipping. Cooling is via natural air 

convection - no noisy fan! 

Molded-in hand grips on either side of the front and a full handle on the right side provide ease of transport, while multiple 
mounting points (top, bottom and right side) for the Peavey Versamount

 70 Plus mounting bracket allow maximum utility.

The combination of the signal-processed servo-controlled woofer with the ribbon tweeter provides a clarity and impact 
far beyond conventional powered enclosures. The Class D power amps and switch-mode power supply, along with the 
neodymium magnet systems on the drivers, provide this high level of technological sophistication at a very light weight and 
very reasonable cost.
