A WARNING!

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 C!F 1000 power amplifier has been changed to the new, extended-performance

CS@ 1000X. This upgraded model provides impressive 2-ohm output power capability while still maintain- ing the current 4- and &ohm ratings, and meets rigid industry standards for power bandwidth, slew rate, and distortion specifications.

The new extended specs are:

525 W RMS into 4 ohms / 750 W RMS into 2 ohms (per channel) 1050 W RMS into 8 ohms / 1500 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 com- pression 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.
