Peavey was notorious for substandard phantom voltages.
Four years ago we were playing shows in the Midwest, and every venue had a sound system (since we flew out sans PA).
We show up at a winery to find an ancient Peavey PA system in the storage closet. Get it set up, signal check the guitars and then plug in our C535 condensor microphones we've used since the mid-Eighties.
Silence. Tried different cables, channels etc. Luckily they had two off-brand dynamics in a random paper bag, which is what we used for the show.
If it isn't 48v, it can really mess up your day.
