4 ohms: CAZ800 = 300 watts per channel into 4 ohms CAZ1400 = 450 watts per channel into 4 ohms CAZ2500 = 750 watts per channel into 4 ohms This equates to a gain of about 30 dB (30 dB, 32 dB, and 34 dB respectively).
4. REAR PANEL FEATURES 1. SCREW TERMINAL INPUTS The CAZ series amplifi ers give you three options for connecting the input signal — these screw terminals, and XLR or 1/4” connectors via the "combination" input described below. You can connect either a balanced or an unbalanced signal here.
6. FAN VENTS Do not obstruct the ventilation openings of the amplifi er. 7. SPEAKER OUTPUTS Connect your speakers to these output screw terminals. The hookup diagrams on page 10 show how to connect your speakers in various ways. There are three pairs of terminals. Use the two outer pairs (CHANNEL A and CHANNEL B) when using stereo or mono modes.
This can be as simple as a 1/3 octave graphic equalizer or a fully capable DSP (digital signal processor) such as the EAW DX810 or MX8750. • Avoid extreme boosts on equalizers as these can cause excessive input to the drivers at the boosted frequencies.
CAZ800 = 5 A CAZ1400 = 7 A CAZ2500 =10 A It is recommended that a stiff supply of AC power be used because the amplifi er places high current demands on the AC line.
6. CONNECTIONS Use a high-quality 3-conductor shielded cable to connect the signal between the signal source (mixing console, equalizer, etc.) and the balanced inputs to the amplifi er. If you are using unbalanced inputs, use a high-quality 2-conductor shielded cable. Here are some common audio connectors and their internal wiring: XLR Connectors XLR connectors are commonly wired as follows (according...
