Peavey Electronics is proud to announce the introduction of a new line of exciting Professional Power Ampli- fiers. The new CS-G series is the result of years of research & development into a smaller, lighter, compact and more powerful amplifier. These units operate much more efficiently than contemporary power amp designs, requiring less current from the mains power plug, producing far less heating. This new technology allows the CS’rM 1800G to reliably produce more than 1800 W RMS into 4 ohms (Bridge Mode) in a two rack space unit, at extremely low distortion levels.

These new designs use a new class of operation called “Class BG”. This class uses two levels of power supply “rails,” but switches between the rails faster and at lower distortion levels than does a typical Class G design. This unit then combines higher efficiency and lower distortion, and together with our all new Non-saturating Series Single Emitter Resistor topology (NSSER), provides awesome performance levels with full power 20 kHz distortion below 0.04%, and with slew rates greater than 40 V/@ec. This technology is called “Dynamic Logic” and is covered by a U.S. Patent (Pending).

The following is the new CS 1800G specs:

600 W RMS into 4 ohms; 900 W RMS into 2 ohms, per channel

1200 W RMS into 8 ohms; 1800 W RMS into 4 ohms (Bridge mode) Slew Rate: 40 V/microsecond, stereo mode, each channel Frequency Response: 20 Hz to 20 kHz, f0.2 dB, at rated power Total Harmonic Distortion: Less than 0.04%, at rated power

Hum and Noise: 100 dB below rated power, unweighted

The unit is attractively packaged in a rugged, rack-mountable configuration requiring only two rack spaces. Naturally it has Peavey’s patented DDTTM Compression Circuitry, and has a very flexible back panel. The design uses dual two speed fan cooling to provide all the cooling necessary for the two ohm load conditions.

Known for its robust construction and high-quality sound output, the CS 1800G stands out in the Peavey lineup, making it an ideal choice for touring musicians, DJs, and audio engineers alike.

One of the main features of the CS 1800G is its impressive power output, delivering 900 watts per channel at 4 ohms in stereo mode, and up to 1800 watts in bridged mono mode. This substantial power ensures that the amplifier can drive even the most demanding speakers while providing clear and dynamic sound reproduction across various performance settings.

The CS 1800G incorporates Peavey's proprietary TransTube technology, which enhances the amplifier's ability to provide warm, tube-like tones. This feature has been engineered to deliver a richer tonal character compared to many traditional solid-state amplifiers, giving performers and sound engineers more flexibility in crafting their sound.

In terms of its technical design, the CS 1800G comes equipped with advanced protection circuitry, ensuring the amplifier remains safe from overheating, short circuits, and other potential hazards that could affect performance. Additionally, the unit features comprehensive LED indicators that provide essential feedback on performance status, including signal presence and clip indicators.

The amplifier’s rear panel offers a variety of connectivity options, including balanced XLR and ¼-inch inputs, as well as Speakon and binding post outputs. This flexibility allows for easy integration into any audio system, making it suitable for both live sound applications and installation environments.

Weighing in at 22.4 pounds, the CS 1800G strikes a balance between portability and power, making it manageable for transport without compromising on performance quality. This durable build is complemented by a rugged metal chassis, designed to withstand the rigors of touring and professional use.

Overall, the Peavey CS 1800G is a reliable and powerful amplifier that combines cutting-edge technology, robust performance, and user-friendly features, making it a top choice for anyone in search of high-quality audio amplification. Whether for concerts, events, or permanent installations, the CS 1800G delivers the performance and flexibility needed for diverse audio needs.
