AWARNING!

For optimum performance and reliability DO NOT PRESENT THE AMPLIFIER WITH A SPEAKER LOAD OF LESS THAN 2 OHMS, OR A COMBINATION OF SPEAKERS THAT TOGETHER ARE LESS THAN 2 OHMS!

Using one speaker, it must be rated at 2 ohms minimum.

Using two speakers, they must be rated each at 4 ohms minimum.

Using three speakers, they must be rated each at 8 ohms minimum.

The world-famous CS@ 1200 power amplifier has been changed to the new, extended-perfor- mance CS@ 1200X. This upgraded model provides impressive 2-ohm output power capability while still maintaining the current 4- and g-ohm ratings, and meets rigid industry standards for power bandwidth, slew rate, and distortion specifications.

The new extended specs are:

630 W RMS into 4 ohms / 900 W RMS into 2 ohms (per channel) 1260 W RMS into 8 ohms / 1800 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 power, unweighted

All the current features of the previous units have been retained, including Peavey’s patented DDTTM compression 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.
