Strong match

Who this is for

  • Users needing two-channel power down to 2-ohm loads
  • Rigs that benefit from high output in a lightweight amplifier
  • Setups needing onboard high-pass or low-pass crossover selection

Consider the trade-offs

When to look elsewhere

  • Users needing an amplifier specified only for loads above 2 ohms
  • Setups that do not need a two-channel power amplifier
  • Users seeking specifications not stated for this model

What matters in use

The specifications, translated

Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.

Peavey IPR2 3000 Power Amp construction detail

Detail 01

DDT circuitry

Distortion Detection Technique is stated to protect drivers and maintain sonic integrity during extreme overload conditions.

Detail 02

2-ohm operation

The amplifier is specified to operate into loads as low as 2 ohms.

Detail 03

Class D with switch-mode power supply

The design is stated to reduce weight while increasing output power, reliability, and thermal efficiency.

Detail 04

Switchable crossover

Each channel has a 100Hz 2nd-order high-pass and 3rd-order low-pass option.

Final check

Know before you order

  1. 01Confirm your speakers and wiring support the intended load impedance; the minimum specified load is 2 ohms.
  2. 02Check the stated output figures at your intended impedance and distortion rating.
  3. 03Verify the listed combo/XLR inputs, XLR thru connections, and twist-lock outputs suit your system.
  4. 04Allow for fan cooling and confirm the 19-inch rack width and 10.5-inch behind-panel depth fit your installation.
