Peavey IPR2 7500 Review (Very Long)

Was wondering if the price difference might change and be closer to the US price now Peavey have different distribution...?

I get the impression they don't want it here. Anything to do with 240v or maybe Reggae

What are you seeing as the typical noise floor for the IPR2 7500s ?  I have a low level, mid frequency oscilating whine emitting out of channel A.  B is virtually silent.  This with no input connected.  Did not notice it til I bent down in front of a speaker recently.

Also, the blue signal present lights - are yours fast attack/release?  Mine are very slow attack/release, so it lets me know there is a signal but not any clue to the dynamics of it (as seems typical of most such lights).

thanks.

That may stem from bad cabling. Try different XLR Cable. I don't have such issues.

If you bought it from an authorised dealer the shop will give you another one without a question. You have a 5 year warranty, take full advantage of it. No need to play Mr. Fix It on a brand new amplifier.   Best Regards, I only asked  about noise to see if it was a normal "feature" of these budget amps.  I figure that because you have a bunch - you would know. Warrenty yes, absolutly, will try that yet again.    Saddly this amp has been to Peavey twice now for other issues and this time comes back to me with noise in ch A. Thanks for input, Take care.

I am sorry but, something does not add up here.

 

Surely, if your amplifier has had a barrage of issues in which, the amplifier had to be repaired multiple times from Peavey’s service centre, with the same problem existing once the amplifier arrived home repaired, why did you not requests for a brand new amplifier from Peavey?

 

As a matter of fact, why not just post your problem on the Peavey Forum and bring it to Marty McCann’s attention?

 

I find it peculiar asking a question “Still happy with the IPR2 7500s ?” on June 22, of 2015 and, then posing an issue on July 30, 2015 as if you just bought IPR2 7500 brand new in the box, uncertain on how the amplifier should operate then, stating “Saddly this amp has been to Peavey twice now for other issues and this time comes back to me with noise in ch A.” 

 

Why not just state what you were encountering a month ago when you asked “Still happy with the IPR2 7500s?” If this lapse approach is how you posed your amplifier problems to Peavey, it may be the reason why your issues are not resolved. 

 

My IPR2 7500 amplifiers are not malfunctioning so, I would suggest posting your issues on the Peavey Forum where you can get answers directly from Marty McCann.

 

Best Regards,
