User manual PEAVEY CS 2000

Intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated "dangerous voltage" within the product's enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to persons. CAUTION: To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not remove cover. WARNING: To prevent electrical shock or fire hazard, this apparatus should not be exposed to rain or moisture, and objects filled with liquids, such as vases, should not be placed on this apparatus. [. . . ] Before powering up, turn the attenuator controls down to prevent speaker damage if there is a high signal level at the inputs. Consult the Wire Gauge Charts (page 9) to determine proper gauges for differing load impedances and cable lengths. Remember that cable resistance robs amplifier power in two ways: power lost directly to resistance (I2R loss) and by lowering the total load impedance. The inputs are actively balanced and the overload point is high enough to accept the maximum output level of virtually any signal source. connecting Outputs All models have two output (speaker) connections per channel. Cables can be connected with banana plugs, spade lugs, or bare wire to the five-way binding posts. Connecting Power CS Series amplifier power requirements are rated at 1/8 power (typical music conditions) and 1/3 power (extreme music conditions). The maximum power current draw rating is limited only by the front panel circuit breaker. consult the specifications in the Appendices section for figures on the current that each amplifier will demand. Unless otherwise specified when ordered, Peavey amplifiers shipped to customers are configured as follows: North America South America 120VAC/60Hz 230/240VAC/60-50Hz 120VAC/60Hz or 240VAC/50Hz Europe, Asia, Australia - Note: Always turn off and disconnect the amplifier from mains voltage before making audio connections. Stereo Operation For stereo (dual channel) operation, turn the amplifier OFF and set the mode select switches on the back panel to the out (extended) position. In this mode, both channels operate independently of each other, with their input attenuators controlling their respective levels. thus , a signal at channel A's input produces an amplified signal at channel A's output , while a signal at channel B's input produces an amplified signal at channel B's output. Bridged Mono Operation Both amplifier channels can be bridged together to make a very powerful single-channel monaural amplifier. Use extreme caution when operating in the bridged mode; potentially lethal voltage may be present at the output terminals. Only channel A's input attenuator is active while in Bridge Mono mode. Unlike the stereo mode, in which one side of each output is at ground, both sides are hot in bridged mode. Channel A's side is the same polarity as its input with the minimum nominal load impedance being 4 ohms (equivalent to driving both channels at 2 ohms) in bridged mode. Driving bridged loads of less than 4 ohms will activate the DDTTM circuitry (see Indicators section), resulting in a loss of power, and may also cause a thermal (overheating) overload. If the switch shuts off during normal use, push it back to the ON position once. If the switch will not stay in the ON position, the amplifier needs servicing. input Attenuators (2) Whenever possible , set the attenuators fully clockwise to maintain optimum system headroom.

Customer Service directly: Telephone: 601-483-5365 (USA) Fax Number: 601-486-1278 (USA) For technical inquiries only, the Peavey Technical Services department can be faxed at 601-486-1361 (USA) Because of the complexity of the design and risk of electrical shock, all repairs must be performed only by qualified technical personnel. If the unit needs to be shipped back to the factory, it must be sent in its original carton. It is the responsibility of the person shipping the unit to properly package the amplifier. [. . . ]
