English Escort® Portable Public Address System Congratulations! You have just purchased the world’s finest packaged sound system, the Peavey Escort®. The Escort’s integrated design allows for ease of transportation, while its user-friendly controls offer ease of operation, making it the perfect choice for schools, churches, civic organizations and small musical groups.
Quick Setup Guide THINK SAFETY FIRST! Much of the setup of the Escort® is similar to the setup of other sound systems, and many aspects require plain common sense. Safety should always be your first concern. Always use grounded outlets and three-wire extension cords. Run sound system cables in a way to prevent the danger or tripping and tape them down when necessary. Place the speaker stands and mixer on a solid, level surface.
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.
Using the Graphic Equalizer Unlike the BASS and TREBLE controls on each channel that adjust only the tone of their own input signals, the five-band graphic equalizer adjusts the tonal balance of all the signals going through the powered mixer. This gives the user greater flexibility in adjusting the sound, but use moderation in making adjustments. The FLS® (Feedback Locating System) LED indicators are invaluable tools in helping to reduce/ eliminate feedback.
REVERB control (Fig. 7) on the appropriate input channel. Add reverb in moderation because too much reverb makes vocals hard to understand. In most cases, it is best not to add reverb to the spoken word. Stereo / Mono Operation The Escort™ 2000 powered mixer has two input channels (4 & 5) for stereo line sources. If the speakers are situated so a tape machine to thespeakers AUX OUT (Fig.
Optional Accessories (available from Peavey dealers) Microphone stand(s) Additional microphones and cables Microphone wind screens Additional speaker cables in various lengths Additional speaker stands in various heights Audio cables for CD and tape Optional Mixer Stand Assembly: Remove the mixer stand from the case. The mixer stand consists of three parts: two pairs of legs and the stand cross-members (Fig. 1). Hold the stand cross-member with the leg sockets together as shown (Fig. 2).
