SA-4200™ Power Amplifier
Description
Keeping with the Sanctuary Series creed, this four-channel power amplifier solves common audio problems with exclusive Peavey
technology. Built-in Auto Delay™ automatically measures and sets the proper delay time for fill loudspeakers, eliminating the
frustrating delay and phasing problems experienced in many houses of worship.
The SA-4200 also features four channels rated at 200 watts each into 4 ohms or 70 volts (selectable in two-channel pairs). This
versatility makes the SA-4200 ideal for delivering power to both main and balcony/fill loudspeakers and any application requiring
multiple audio zones, such as cry rooms or paging systems in larger houses of worship.

Unpacking
Upon unpacking, inspect the amplifier. If you find any damage, notify your supplier immediately. Only the consignee may institute
a claim with the carrier for damage incurred during shipping. Be sure to save the carton and all packing materials. Should you ever
need to ship the unit back to Peavey Electronics, one of its offices, service centers or the supplier, use only the original factory
packing. If the shipping carton is unavailable, contact Peavey to obtain a replacement.
Mounting
The SA-4200 amplifier will mount in standard 19” E.I.A. equipment racks.
Security Cover
A security cover is provided to prevent inadvertent level adjustments. It is designed to permit monitoring of the various LEDs
without removal. To remove the cover‚ simply remove the Phillips-head mounting screw.
Cooling Requirements
The SA-4200 amplifier uses a forced-air cooling system to maintain a low, even operating temperature. Air is drawn into
the amplifier via a fan located in the back of the unit and courses through the cooling fins of the tunnel-configured channel
heat sinks. The air then exits through the front panel slots. If the heat sinks get too hot‚ a sensing circuit will activate the
protective muting system to protect the amplifier. When the internal temperature reaches a safe level‚ the amplifier will
automatically return to normal operation. It is important that both the front and rear of the unit have enough space to allow
the cooling air to enter and escape. If the amp is rack mounted, do not use doors or covers on the front of the rack; the
intake air must flow without resistance. If you are using racks with closed backs, make sure that there is one (1) standard
rack space opening for every three mounted power amplifiers. If not rack mounted‚ allow 6” of clearance on all sides.
