General Description:

The Electro-Voice® CPS2.4 is from the Contractor Precision Se-
ries of professional amplifiers. The high efficient Class-H design
reduces the power dissipation significantly and allows for more
amplifier channels and output power in a given rack space.
The audio performance of the CPS2.4 is state-of-the art and
fulfills the highest sound expectations in demanding applications
from concert sound to theater. The CPS2.4 features the same
complete protection package as all EV Precision Series amplifi-
ers. Protection against: excessive HF, DC fault, high temperature,
and Back-EMF as well as turn-on delay, peak current and inrush
current limiters. In addition to the rated output power the CPS2.4
provides up to 30% percent headroom for a wide dynamic range
on music signals. The onboard dynamic limiter ensures that the
output clipping of the CPS2.4 will not exceed a THD of 1% up
to an input signal of +21dBu. Detented level controls on the rear
panel provide precise (1dB-detend) and repeatable settings.
Front panel LEDs indicate signal present, 0 dB, and limit. Female
XLRs and Phoenix type connectors for inputs and barrier strips
for outputs provide an easy rack wiring. The power on/off function
of the CPS2.4 can be remote controlled via a 24V DC source.
Optional x-over cards for biamp operation (e.g. a 2-way cinema
system) can be retrofitted.
