Output Modes

Low-Z

70V

100V/50V

The loudspeaker load is connected only to the designated positive (+) output terminals of the bridged channels. NEVER ground either side of the loudspeaker load cable when the amplifier is in Bridged Mode as both sides are “hot.” If an output patch panel is used‚ all connections must be isolated from each other and from the panel. When using the low-Z output‚ the minimum nominal load impedance in Bridged Mode is 8 Ohms; this is equivalent to driving both bridged channels at 4 Ohms. When using the 70 Volt output‚ the bridged output is 140 Volts and the minimum load imped- ance in Bridged Mode is 50 Ohms. Driving loads of lesser impedance may activate the protection circuits. See Output Modes section for more infor- mation.

Note: Regardless of operating mode‚ NEVER connect the amplifier outputs together.

Caution: Output voltages greater than 120 V RMS are available between the bridged terminals. CLASS 3 wiring must be used in accordance with national and local codes to connect the loudspeaker system.

Warning: The loudspeaker output connections of this amplifier are hazardous when live and present a shock hazard when they are energized. Take the following

precautions:

1.Do not touch any bare wires that are connected to the loudspeaker output connectors.

2.Use insulated loudspeaker cables and touch-proof connectors on the loudspeakers.

3.Do not attempt to make connections to the output connectors or the loudspeaker connectors when the amplifier is turned ON.

4.Double-check all connections and make sure there are no exposed wires or connectors before turning the on amplifier.

5.Make sure there are no frayed cables or wires and that all connections are tight and secure every time before turning the amplifier on.

6.External wiring connected to these terminals requires installation by a trained person or the use of ready-made leads or cords.

Each channel of the CM™ 2204-AB/DV or CM 2208-AB/DV can be used in Direct Drive (Low-Z, 70V or 140V) or Isolated Drive (100V of 50V) appli- cations.

This mode allows each output of the channel pair to drive a 4 or 8 Ohm loudspeaker load. Use Bridged Mode (See Bridged Mode section) to deliver the power of both channels to a single 8 Ohm load such as a subwoofer.

This mode allows each output of the channel pair to directly drive a 70 Volt constant-voltage audio distribution system. Use the Bridged Mode (See Bridged Mode section) to deliver the power of both channels to a 140 Volt constant-voltage audio distribution system.

The output of the CM 2204-AB/DV and CM 2208-AB/DV can be converted to 100V or 50V with the optional CMX4-50/CMX4-100/CMX8-50/CMX8- 100 accessories, respectively.

CM2208, CM2204 specifications

Peavey, a name synonymous with quality in the audio equipment world, has made significant strides in the realm of professional microphones with its CM2204 and CM2208 models. These microphones have become fixtures in live sound, broadcasting, and studio environments, delivering exceptional performance and reliability.

The CM2204 is characterized by its dynamic design, making it an ideal choice for capturing high-SPL (Sound Pressure Level) sources without undesirable distortion. This microphone features a cardioid pickup pattern, which effectively isolates the sound source while minimizing background noise and feedback. The CM2204's rugged construction is built to withstand the rigors of live performances, ensuring that it remains functional in various settings.

On the other hand, the CM2208 is a condenser microphone that brings a different set of features to the table. It is designed to provide a broader frequency response, capturing subtle nuances of vocals and instruments with remarkable clarity. The CM2208 also employs a cardioid polar pattern, making it suitable for both studio applications and live situations where feedback rejection is paramount. Its low self-noise and high sensitivity allow for detailed sound capture, making it an excellent choice for more delicate sound sources.

Both models are equipped with Peavey's proprietary technologies, which include advanced shock-mounting systems. This technology helps to minimize handling noise and vibrations, allowing for clean and professional recordings. Additional features such as high-frequency boost switches and low-frequency roll-off options on the CM2208 offer further versatility, allowing users to tailor the microphone’s response to specific applications.

Another notable characteristic shared by both microphones is their compatibility with various equipment types. They work seamlessly with a range of mixers and amplifiers, making them versatile tools for any audio engineer. Moreover, the CM2204 and CM2208 are designed to operate across a wide frequency range, ensuring they can handle a variety of sound sources, from powerful rock vocals to subtle acoustic instruments.

In conclusion, the Peavey CM2204 and CM2208 microphones are exemplary products that cater to the needs of modern audio professionals. With their robust design, innovative technologies, and outstanding sound quality, these microphones continue to be reliable choices for anyone seeking exceptional performance in diverse audio environments. Whether in the studio or on stage, Peavey's commitment to quality is evident in these dynamic and condenser microphones, making them valuable assets in any sound setup.
