Summary of Contents for Peavey CS 1000X

  • Page 2 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. Intended to alert the user of the presence of important operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the literature accompanying the product.
  • Page 3 Total Harmonic Distortion: less than 0.03%, rated power Hum and Noise: 100 dB below rated power, unweighted All the current features of the previous units have been retained, including Peavey’s patented DDTTM com- pression system and the very flexible back-panel patching capabilities. The two-speed fan cooling system has been improved to automatically provide additional cooling for the two-ohm load conditions.
  • Page 4 “0” LED will also go out on that channel. Excessive temperature conditions can occur in the CS 1000X if either or both channels are continuously operated into less than 2-ohm loads (or a short cir- cuit), or if the ambient temperature of the air supply becomes too hot to provide adequate cooling even under normal 2-ohm or greater loading situations.

    MAINS POWER SOURCE (120V products only) (8) The CS 1000X is fitted with a single heavy-duty #14 AWG 3 conductor line cord and a conventional AC plug with a ground pin. It should be connected to an independent mains circuit capable of delivering at least 15 AMPS continuously.

  • Page 6: Circuit Breaker

    Never break off the ground pin on the CS 1000X or any amplifier. The use of extension cords should be avoided, but if essential, always use a three-wire type with at least a #14 AWG wire size. The use of lighter wire will severely limit the power capability of this amplifier.
  • Page 7 Some modules contain special equalization and padding for a particular Peavey speaker enclosure. Always be sure to select the correct module for your speaker system. Other special-purpose modules are also available for use with this receptacle.

  • Page 8: Installation And Connection

    20-amp capability. Never break off the ground pin on the CS 1000X. Always use a qualified electrician to install any necessary elec- trical equipment. To prevent the risk of shock or fire hazard, always check to see that the amplifiers are properly grounded.
  • Page 9 CS 1000X for this purpose. These bolts should be attached to a suitable bracketing arrangement to provide this additional support. Also, two guards have been provided on the rear panel of the CS 1000X to protect connectors and PL cans, and to provide a means for routing cables.

  • Page 10: Modes Of Operation

    MODES OF OPERATION 1. STEREO MODE (UNBALANCED INPUTS) The CS 1000X is shipped from the factory with jumper plugs inserted in the transformer (12) and crossover (14) accessory sockets. These jumper plugs are necessary if the low-impedance connectors (11) are to be used as inputs for each channel.
  • Page 11 The only thing required is an additional stereo power amplifier, which, together with the existing dual power amp sections of the CS 1000X, makes up the four independent power amplifiers re- quired for a stereo biamplification system. You will notice that because of the pin-out arrangements of the...

  • Page 12: Bridge Mode

    Obviously, for a monaural biamp system (only one mixer feed), only one crossover module is required and only one crossover island will be used. In this case, one channel of the CS 1000X can be patched for the lows and the other channel patched for the highs, resulting in a simple, compact system with outstanding performance.
  • Page 13 +3 dB V, we adjust the CS 1000X to a rating of +12dB V, overall system noise will be improved by 9 dB, and the system headroom will decrease 9 dB.

  • Page 14: Thermal System

    For continuous operation, the CS 1000X requires a source of cool air. As an added help in locating mismatched or shorted speakers, the DDT active LED is a powerful tool. If this LED flashes continuously at relatively low-output power levels (indicated by low-power readings on the LED array), it is almost a sure sign that the amplifier loading impedance is too low in value, or that there might be a short circuit.
  • Page 15 Such a system is easily accomplished with the Peavey CS 1000X power amplifier patch panel and associated CS Series plug-in active crossover modules.
  • Page 16 Always turn off the CS 1000X first. As an added feature, the bipolar power for the crossover islands can be supplied from either channel of the CS 1000X. Thus, if one channel should shut down for any reason, the redundancy of the system will maintain operation of the crossovers.
  • Page 17 (17) are now isolated, and signals must be patched to this bridge input to complete the circuit. Obviously, in bridge mode, the CS 1000X is only a one-channel amp. Consequently, to biamp, additional power amplifier channels must be available. Again, a word of...

    The user should not attempt to service this equipment. All service work should be done by a qualified scrvicc technician This product should be used only with a cart or stand that is recommended by Peavey Electronics. Exposure to extremely high noise lcvcls may cause a permanent hearing loss. Individuals vary considerably in \ujceptibility to noijc induced hearing loss, but nearly everyone will lose some hearing if exposed to sufficiently intense noise for a sufficient time.
