Connecting Microphone(s)
The Escort
™
2000 powered mixer is designed to work with any good-quality, balanced, dynamic or condenser
microphone such as the PVi
®
microphone supplied. Connect the microphone(s) to the XLR (3- pin) input connectors as
shown (Fig. 4). When using more than one mic, try to connect them to channels in the same order as they appear on
stage to make them easier to control.

Connecting CD, Tape, or Other Line Sources
Connect a CD or tape player to the CHANNEL 5 auxiliary input connectors (AUX IN) as shown (Fig 5). If you
wish to connect an additional tape machine, CD or other line source to the Escort 2000, CHANNEL 5 also has
stereo line inputs and CHANNELS 1–3 have monaural (MONO) line inputs. Additional cables for connecting to
the Escort 2000 should be readily available at your Peavey dealer. Connecting only to the CHANNEL 4
LEFT/MONO jack automatically converts that channel for mono operation (the sound will come out of both
speakers).

Connecting Power
Before connecting power, make sure that the power switch is in the OFF position.
Connect the IEC power cord to the receptacle on the back panel of the unit as shown (Fig. 6), and then to a
suitable electrical outlet. If an extension cord is used, be sure that it is a 3-wire cord with ground pin intact to
preserve the safety ground.
NOTE: FOR UK ONLY
