Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
High-output two-channel power amplifier for driving passive PA speakers. For someone building or expanding a live sound system.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Powering passive main speakers in a live PA rack
- Driving subwoofers that need real headroom
- Fixed installs where the amp lives in a rack permanently
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Anyone using powered speakers with amps built in
- Guitar or keyboard players wanting an instrument amp
- Small setups where a powered mixer would do the job
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.
Detail 02
Two channels
Drive left and right mains, or run one side to subs and the other to tops.
Detail 03
IPR2 series
Peavey's lightweight switch-mode design. Far easier to rack and carry than an equivalent conventional power amp.
Detail 04
5000 designation
This is the high-power model in the line. Enough headroom that speaker limits, not amp limits, define your ceiling.

Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Do I still need a mixer?
Yes. A power amp has no mic preamps, EQ, or channel controls. It takes a line-level output from a mixer and amplifies it to drive speakers.
02Can I use this with powered speakers?
No. Powered speakers already contain their own amplifier. This is only for passive speakers that have no amp inside.
03Can I bridge it for a subwoofer?
Two-channel Peavey power amps in this class are typically bridgeable for a single high-power load. Confirm the bridging procedure and minimum impedance before wiring.
04Will it work as a guitar amp?
Not by itself. You would need a guitar preamp or modeler in front of it and a guitar speaker cabinet after it.
