IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol, within an equi- lateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated “dangerous voltage” within the product’s enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to persons.

The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is inten- ded to alert the user to the presence of important operating and maintance (servicing) instructions in the literature ac- companying the appliance.

1.Read these instructions.

2.Keep these instructions.

3.Heed all warnings.

4.Follow all instructions.

5.Do not use this apparatus near water.

6.Clean only with a dry cloth.

7.Do not block any of the ventilation openings. Install in accordance with the manufactures instructions.

8.Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus that produce heat.

9.Only use attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer.

10.Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when the apparatus has been damaged in any way, such as power-supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the apparatus, the apparatus has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has been dropped.

For US and CANADA only:

Do not defeat the safety purpose of the grounding-type plug. A grounding type plug has two blades and a third grounding prong. The wide blade or the third prong are provided for your safety. When the provided plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an electrican for replacement of the absolete outlet.

IMPORTANT SERVICE INSTRUCTIONS

CAUTION: These servicing instructions are for use by qualified personnel only. To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not perform any servicing other than that contained in the Operating Instructions unless you are qualified to do so. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.

1.Security regulations as stated in the EN 60065 (VDE 0860 / IEC 65) and the CSA E65 - 94 have to be obeyed when servicing the appliance.

2.Use of a mains separator transformer is mandatory during maintenance while the appliance is opened, needs to be operated and is connected to the mains

3.Switch off the power before retrofitting any extensions, changing the mains voltage or the output voltage.

4.The minimum distance between parts carrying mains voltage and any accessible metal piece (metal enclosure), respectively between the mains poles has to be 3 mm and needs to be minded at all times. The minimum distance between parts carrying mains voltage and any switches or breakers that are not connected to the mains (secondary parts) has to be 6 mm and needs to be minded at all times.

5.Replacing special components that are marked in the circuit diagram using the security symbol (Note) is only permissible when using original parts.

6.Altering the circuitry without prior consent or advice is not legitimate.

7.Any work security regulations that are applicable at the location where the appliance is being serviced have to be strictly obeyed. This applies also to any regulations about the work place itself.

8.All instructions concerning the handling of MOS - circuits have to be observed.

PSX1600, PSX1000, PSX2200 specifications

Electro-Voice, a prominent name in professional audio equipment, has developed a series of high-performance power amplifiers known as the PSX series, which includes the PSX2200, PSX1000, and PSX1600 models. These amplifiers are engineered to deliver exceptional power, clarity, and reliability, making them suitable for a variety of applications such as live sound, installations, and portable use.

The PSX2200 is the most powerful model in the PSX lineup, offering a robust output of 2,200 watts at 4 ohms. This amplifier is designed to handle demanding audio environments, providing headroom and performance necessary for large audiences. One of its key features is the Peak х-Over Limiting technology, which ensures that the amplifier delivers maximum power without distortion during peak performance. Additionally, the PSX2200 is equipped with built-in high-pass and low-pass filters, allowing users to tailor the sound to their specific needs.

The PSX1000 represents a mid-range option that still packs a punch, delivering 1,000 watts at 4 ohms. It is designed for versatility, making it ideal for a range of sound reinforcement applications. One standout feature of the PSX1000 is its Intelligent Clip Limiting system, which automatically adjusts the input signal to prevent clipping and maintain audio clarity. Moreover, the amplifier features a rugged chassis and intuitive interface, which enhances both durability and ease of use in various settings.

The PSX1600 serves as a bridge between the PSX1000 and PSX2200, offering 1,600 watts at 4 ohms. It incorporates advanced thermal management technology, ensuring stable performance even under demanding conditions. The PSX1600 is engineered for reliability, featuring extensive protection circuitry that safeguards against issues like over-temperature, short circuits, and signal overloads. This amplifier is particularly favored for its ability to maintain sound quality during prolonged use.

All three models in the PSX series share common characteristics such as a lightweight design, durable construction, and efficient power supply systems, making them highly portable and easy to integrate into existing sound systems. The PSX amplifiers are also equipped with comprehensive monitoring capabilities, including LED indicators that provide visual feedback on power and operational status.

In summary, the Electro-Voice PSX2200, PSX1000, and PSX1600 represent a powerful trio of amplifiers that offer versatility and reliability for professional audio applications. With their advanced technologies, user-friendly features, and impressive performance specifications, these amplifiers are well-suited to meet the demands of sound engineers and audio professionals alike.
