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. 9, and then to a suitable electrical outlet.
If an extension cord is used, be sure that it is a three-wire cord with ground pin intact to preserve the safety ground.

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. 8). If you
wish to connect an additional tape machine, CD or other line source to the Escort, CHANNEL 5 also has
stereo line inputs and CHANNELS 1-3 have monaural (MONO) line inputs. Additional cables for connecting
to the Escort are available from 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.

Adjusting Gain and Volume Controls (Faders)
Adjust the channel GAIN controls (Fig. 10) for desired level from the speakers. If the desired level is reached with the channel GAIN at a low
setting (1-3), lower the MASTER VOLUME controls (Fig. 11). If the channel GAIN needs to be set at 9-10 for desired volume, raise the MASTER
VOLUME controls. The L and R MASTER VOLUME controls adjust the left and right speakers.
Adjusting Tone Controls
Adjust the BASS and TREBLE controls (Fig. 10) as necessary to achieve desired sound. However, use moderation in setting channel tone
controls. Extreme settings of these controls can adversely affect sound quality. Large amounts of boost (+) on these controls can also increase
the chance of feedback on microphone inputs.
