Peavey CS 800X - Page 3

The world famous CS® 800 power amplifier has now been changed to the new CS® 800X with
new extended performance, providing impressive new two ohm output power capability while
still maintaining the current 4 and 8 ohm ratings and awesome industry standards for power
bandwidth, slew rate, and distortion specifications.
Following is the new extended specs:
420 W RMS into 4 ohms...600 W RMS into 2 ohms (per channel)
840 W RMS into 8 ohms... 1200 W RMS into 4 ohms (bridged)
DDTTM compression with LED indicators and defeat switch
Slew' Rate: 40 V/microsecond. stereo mode, each channel
Power Bandwidth: 10 Hz to 50 KHz @ 4 ohms, rated power
Total Harmonic Distortion: Less than 0.03%, rated power
Hum and Noise: 100 dB below rated powder, unweighted
All the current features of the old units have been retained, including Peavey's patented DDT "
(Distortion Detection Technique) Compression Circuitry, and the very flexible back panel
patching capabilities. The two speed fan cooling system has been improved to provide addi¬
tional cooling, when needed, for the tw'o ohm load conditions.
FEATURES
• Automatic two-speed fan cooling system/tunnel
• Independent channel thermal/fault protection
• Transient free turn-on/off operation (relay)
• One recessed crossover “island” socket for plug-in modules
• Two recessed balanced input transformer sockets for PL-2’s
• Single XLR & dual phone plug inputs each channel
• Phone plug inputs are QUASI-ELECTRONIC BALANCED
• XLR input can be QUASI-ELECTRONIC BALANCED (push switch
out)
• XLR input can be transformer balanced (push switch in)
• Dual phone plug and 5 way binding post outputs each channel
• DDT activation LED & power LED each channel
• Calibrated/detented input attenuator control each channel
• Rear panel DDT defeat & bridge mode select slide switches
WARNING!
For uptiinum performance and reliability DO NOT PRF.SRNTTHE AMPLIFIER WITH A SPEAKER LOAD OF LESS THAN 2 OHMS, OR A
COMBINATION OF SPEAKERS THAT TOGETHER ARE LESS THAN 2 OHMS!
Lising one speaker, it must be rated at 2 ohms minimum.
Using two speaker, they must be rated each at 4 ohms minimum.
Using three speaker, they must be rated each at 8 ohms minimum.
