LOW-Z Inputs, Transformer Receptacles | Peavey CS 1000X specification

LOW-Z INPUTS (11)

Conventional three-pin, female XLR input jacks are provided, which can be used as either the channel inputs or the crossover inputs, depending upon what has been plugged into the crossover socket (14). Fur- ther, this XLR input is balanced or unbalanced, depending upon what is plugged into the transformer socket (12). When the (PL-2) line-balancing transformer is used in socket (12), this XLR input becomes fully TRANSFORMER-BALANCED, with pin #3 as the positive input and pin #2 as the negative input. When a blank plug (PL-1) is inserted in socket (12), this XLR input becomes unbalanced, with pin #3 as positive input and pin #2 as ground. If a PL-MODULE ELECTRONIC CROSSOVER is plugged into socket (14), the XLR input system drives the crossover, but if a blank plug (PL- 1) is inserted in socket (15), the XLR input system is connected directly to the channel power amp input.

TRANSFORMER RECEPTACLES (12)

These receptacles only receive the optional (PL-2) line-balancing transformer. When conditions exist that demand the usage of a TRANSFORMER-BALANCED XLR at the input of a power amp channel or

at the input of the PL-MODULE ELECTRONIC CROSSOVER when BIAMPING, the (PL-2) transformer must be inserted here. Otherwise a blank plug (PL-1) is inserted in this socket.

CROSSOVER INPUTS (13)

These are the HIGH-Z INPUTS when an ELECTRONIC CROSSOVER module is installed. Two parallel input jacks are provided at this point, allowing flexible Y-cord capability. The output of the LOW-Z XLR input circuitry is always connected to these inputs, which allow the LOW-Z INPUT to be used as the ELEC- TRONIC CROSSOVER input if desired. These inputs can then be used as FULL-RANGE outputs for additional patching capability.

CROSSOVER MODULE RECEPTACLE (14)

This receptacle may only receive a plug-in PL-MODULE ELECTRONIC CROSSOVER. PL-MODULES are optional accessories and are available in many different crossover frequencies. Some modules contain special equalization and padding for a particular Peavey speaker enclosure. Always be sure to select the correct module for your speaker system. Other special-purpose modules are also available for use with this receptacle. This receptacle supplies both the input and output patch facilities as well as the power supply “feeds” for these active electronic devices.

CROSSOVER LOW OUTPUT (15)

This jack supplies the crossed-over low-frequency output from the installed PL-MODULE ELECTRONIC CROSSOVER. This output must be patched to the appropriate power amp input jack to “create” an opera- tional biamp system. On some special-purpose modules, this output jack is not used.

CROSSOVER HIGH OUTPUT (16)

This jack supplies the crossed-over high-frequency output from the installed PL-MODULE ELECTRONIC CROSSOVER. This output must also be patched to the appropriate power amp input jack to create an operational biamp system.

POWER AMPLIFIER INPUT (17)

Two parallel input jacks are provided for each channel, delivering flexible Y-cord capability. These jacks can be considered the normal power amplifier high-Z input. If a blank plug (PL-1) is inserted in the cross- over accessory socket (14), the associated XLR input system is connected to these input jacks internally, permitting the XLR input (11) to be a direct power amplifier input without the use of a patch cord.

CS 1000X specifications

The Peavey CS 1000X is a professional power amplifier designed to deliver exceptional sound quality and reliability for live performances and installed sound applications. Renowned for its rugged build and innovative technologies, the CS 1000X has become a staple in various settings such as concert venues, clubs, and corporate events.

One of the standout features of the CS 1000X is its power output. It provides 1,000 watts of continuous output at 4 ohms, making it capable of driving large audio systems with ease. This significant power ensures that even the most demanding musical passages can be reproduced accurately without distortion. Its high-efficiency design enables it to deliver exceptional performance while consuming less energy, making it not only powerful but also environmentally friendly.

The amplifier utilizes a patented Peavey Dynamic FET technology, which enhances the overall sound quality by providing a wide frequency response and minimal distortion levels. This technology also contributes to the amplifier's impressive dynamic range, ensuring that both soft and loud sounds are reproduced with clarity and precision.

The CS 1000X features advanced circuit protection systems, including Peavey's exclusive DDT (Dynamic Distortion Termination) clipping protection. This feature prevents distortion and potential damage to connected speakers during peak output, allowing for safe operation under high-demand conditions. Additionally, the amplifier includes a built-in cooling fan that ensures optimal thermal management, prolonging the lifespan of the unit.

In terms of connectivity, the CS 1000X is equipped with a variety of input and output options. These include balanced XLR inputs and both binding post and SpeakON outputs, providing flexibility for different configuration needs. The rear panel also features level controls, allowing users to adjust the output level to suit the requirements of their specific audio setup.

Compact yet powerful, the Peavey CS 1000X is designed with a rugged chassis that can withstand the rigors of transport and installation. This durability, paired with its technical capabilities, makes it an excellent choice for both professional musicians and sound engineers.

In summary, the Peavey CS 1000X power amplifier stands at the forefront of audio technology, combining robust power, advanced protection features, and versatile connectivity options. Its ability to deliver high-quality sound makes it an indispensable tool for any serious audio application.
