User manual PEAVEY CS-X2

[. . . ] This high power handling two-way loudspeaker system is comprised of a 15" BWX woofer with a Kevlar impregnated cone and an RX 22 compression driver coupled to a CH 3 constant directivity horn. This unit can be driven in full-range mode simply by plugging into one of the two 1/4" phone jacks on the input plate. A Neutrik Speakon connector is provided as an input for biamp operation. [. . . ] The unique design of the enclosure allows the baffle to be angled at either 30° or 45° from the floor. The CS-X2 is constructed of 3/4" OSB and covered with Peavey's durable black carpet. A powder coated expanded metal grille covers the front of the enclosure to protect the drivers from unforeseen accidents. A stand mount adapter is also included in one of the ends of the enclosure. This will allow it to be used as a PA type loudspeaker if needed. Sound Guard III is the redesign of Peavey's proprietary circuit for high frequency driver protection for the new RX 22 compression driver. This is an integral part of the crossover for the CS-X2. Ten percent (10%) of rated input power and either one percent (1%) of rated input power or one watt, whichever is greater. Distortion is read from the graph as the difference between the fundamental signal (frequency response) and the desired harmonic. As an example, a distortion curve that is down 40 dB from the fundamental is equivalent to 1% distortion. Frequency response This measurement is useful in determining how accurately a given unit reproduces an input signal. The frequency response of the CS-X2 is measured at a distance of 1-meter using a 1 Watt (into the nominal impedance) swept-sine input signal. As shown in figure 1, the selected drivers in the CS-X2 combine to give a smooth frequency response from 100 Hz 14 kHz. Mounting Warning: This unit is not designed for overhead suspension.
