Keyboard Amplifiers
Thank you for selecting the KB2/KB3 keyboard amplifier. Once again‚ Peavey engineers have listened to input from
keyboard players and put together an amplifier that combines excellent features and sound in one portable package. The
KB Series amplifiers deliver awesome sound reproduction for all of your keyboard sounds—from thundering bass to
crystal highs—it’s all there!
Before you begin to play through your amp, it is very important to ensure the product has the proper AC line voltage
supplied. You can find the proper voltage for your amp printed next to the IEC line (power) cord on the rear panel of the
unit. For the KB3, an external speaker jack is provided for the additional use of an external speaker enclosure. This
feature is located on the rear panel as well and is also explained in this section. Each product feature is numbered. Refer
to the control and rear panel diagrams in this manual to locate the particular features next to their number.
Please read this guide carefully to ensure your personal safety as well as the safety of your amplifier.
