CMSeries power amplifiers feature a unique amplification architecture providing a host of user benefits including simplified operation and use in multiple applications, as well as unsurpassed sonic quality and flexible power.

The CM 2204-AB (US model)/CM 2204-DV (European model) and CM

2208-AB (US model)/CM 2208-DV (European model) are easy to set up and operate. Housed in a lightweight-but-rugged 16-gauge steel chassis, multi- load architecture allows low impedance or 70 Volt operation without so much as flipping a switch. Each channel outputs 220 Watts (70V or 8 Ohms, or 160 Watts into 4 Ohms) for flexible system configuration, while front-to- side cooling delivers low mains current draw, ensuring efficient operation in a 2U rack space.

CM Series products comprise four-channel (CM 2204-AB/DV) and eight- channel (CM 2208-AB/DV) units (channels are independent). A host of applications benefit from the use of multiple channel amplification, including bars, clubs and restaurants; video conferencing systems; hotels and motels; industrial installations; and retail stores, among others. One amplifier

for multiple applications provides a cost-effective solution, expansion opportunities and unparalleled flexibility.

The CM Series has numerous circuit protection features, including:

Automatically reduces gain at the onset of clipping to prevent amplifier and load damage.

Monitors load current to protect against overloading.

Gradually increases gain when the amplifier is turned on, preventing abrupt turn-on level.

Short circuit, DC voltage, comprehensive thermal management, current in- rush turn-on/off transient and sub/ultrasonic input.

Some of the protection features are described in more detail later in this manual but please note that improper use can be dangerous to the user as well as the unit. These amplifiers are very high-powered and can produce high voltages and sizable currents. Always use safe operating techniques when operating these amplifiers but we also encourage you to read this manual thoroughly.

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.
