Engineered for superior sound reproduction, the CV Series line of professional amplifiers deliver top quality audio at an affordable price. The CV Series offers a standard of reliability and efficiency that makes them the perfect solution for every DJ, musician, and sound engineer. -
Page 5: Features
FEATURES The CV-5000 amplifier delivers the following power ratings. 2 x 1100 Watts at 8 ohm, 2 x 1800 Watts at 4 ohms and 2 x 2500 Watts at 2 ohms 2-channel, parallel or bridged mono operating modes for flexible application - 5000 Watts …and the following features. -
Page 6: Front Panel Controls
FRONT PANEL CONTROLS 1. Rack Mounting Ears Two front panel mounting holes are provided on each mounting ear. 2. Fan Vent CV-5000 amplifier is cooled by two rear-mounted fans. Cool air flows through the front fan filters, reducing the temperature of the inside components while forcing the heat out the rear vents. - Page 7 7. Protect Indicators These red LED indicate that the channel is in Protect mode. When the channel goes into protect mode all output for that channel will turn off by output relay. The protect LED will light when overheating or other severe problems occur. This is to protect any speakers connected to the channel.

Page 8: Rear Panel Controls
REAR PANEL CONTROLS 1. Fan This is a variable speed cooling fan. Cool air enters the amplifier through the fan ports located on the front of the amplifier chassis, be sure not to block these ports when installing the amplifier or other associated equipment. 2. - Page 9 5. Limiter switch When the input signal connected to your amplifier is too high, you can end up with a distorted output signal. To prevent this, both channels of your CV-5000 feature a clip limiter that can be engaged or disengaged selectively. 6.

Page 10: Protection
PROTECTION The CV-5000 incorporates protection features. The front panel Protection LED indicates the activity of the relay speaker connection circuitry in each channel. When the Protection LED turn on, this circuitry is active and all connected speakers are muted. Initial Power Up - For approximately five seconds after initial power-up, the protection circuitry is activated and the speaker outputs are muted. -
Page 11: Setup
SETUP Clip Limiter Clipping is the result of an amplifier running into a power supply limitation. The maximum output voltage that any amplifier can produce is limited by its power supply. Attempting to output a voltage (or current) level that exceeds the power supply results in a “flattenin” effect on the signal, making it’s waveform look cut off or “clipped”. - Page 12 Mode Select Stereo Mode In stereo mode, both channels operate independently, with their input gain controls. Signal at channel 1’s input produces output at channel 1, while signal at channel 2’s input produces output at channel 2’s output. Recommended minimum nominal load impedance for stereo operation is 2 ohms per channel.
