CP2000—Owner’s Manual

1 Introduction

Thank you for choosing the Yamaha CP2000 Power Ampliﬁer. Based on a new

improved version of Yamaha’s

EEEngine

ampliﬁer technology, the CP2000 is a versatile

two-channel power ampliﬁer, offering high-power, superb sonic performance, and reli-

ability, all backed by the Yamaha tradition of excellence in professional audio.

•Yamaha Speaker Processing matches the CP2000 to the Yamaha S115 and S112 loud-

speakers.

•Three operating modes are provided: STEREO mode in which Channel L and Channel

R operate independently, PARALLEL mode in which the channels operate indepen-

dently but are both fed from the Channel L inputs, and BRIDGE mode in which both

channels are combined to form a massive 2000 watt single-channel ampliﬁer.

•Improved

EEEngine

technology using MOSFET output devices.

•Compared to conventional designs,

EEEngine

’s energy saving capabilities reduce power

consumption by up to 50% and cut heat generation by up to 35%.

•Built-in limiter prevents excessive output signal distortion, protecting both speakers

and eardrums.

•Electronically balanced XLR-type and 1/4" phone jack input connectors.

•5-way binding posts and 1/4" phone jack output connectors.

•Signal and CLIP indicators on each channel provide signal presence and clip warning.

•Relay-based protection system protects both ampliﬁer and speakers if heatsink over-

heating occurs or a DC offset is detected at the outputs.

•TEMP indicator warns of heatsink overheating.

•Variable-speed low-noise fan regulates the system temperature even under the most

demanding conditions. While the CP2000 is idle, the fan stops for silent operation.
