A lntended 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. A Intended to alert the user of the presence of important operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the literature accompanying the pr[...]

A WARNING! For optimum performance and reliability DO NOT PRESENT THE AMPLIFIER WITH A SPEAKER LOAD OF LESS THAN 2 OHMS, OR A COMBINATION OF SPEAKERS THAT TOGETHER ARE LESS THAN 2 OHMS! Using one speaker, it must be rated at 2 ohms minimum. Using two speakers, they must be rated each at 4 ohms minimum. Using three speakers, they must be rated each [...]

The lowest value indicated is 0.4% of full power, which corresponds to 2.0 watts RMS output into 4 ohms. Operation below that power level will not be indicated, since the lowest LED is calibrated at 0% or standby. As mentioned, th[...]

A GRILLE (6) The back panel includes the fan opening with protective grille (6), where cooling air is drawn into the amplifier. This opening should never be blocked or restricted. DDT SWITCH (7) This switch is used to either ENABLE or DEFEAT the DDT compressor. Defeating the DDT compressor should not be performed lightly or simply as a matter of co[...]

MODE SWITCH (10) The mode switch is located on the “back-porch” next to the channel input jacks. This switch converts the CS 1200X from normal stereo mode to bridge mode. Bridge-mode operation is very popular for commercial sound distribution systems (70/l 00 volt lines). A WARNING: In bridge mode, the CS 1200X is capable of delivering 1200 W R[...]

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 fl[...]

per channel or 4 ohms BRIDGE mode for any application. Operation at loads of 4 ohms per channel or 8 ohms BRIDGE mode is more desirable for sustained operation applications, be- cause the amplifier will run much cooler at this load. Operation above 4 ohms per channel and even open-circuit conditions can always be considered safe; however, sustained[...]

OPERATION The CS 1200X is designed for maximum ease and flexibility of operation. When the unit is installed and connected as described in the previous sections, operation is as simple as turning on the mains switch (S), turning up the sensitivity controls (4) to the full clockwise setting, and then adjusting the associated mixer or pre-amplificati[...]

2. STEREO MODE (BALANCED INPUTS) When conditions require the use of a balanced input at the power amplifier, the XLR connectors (11) on either or both channels can be converted to a balanced configuration by removing the jumper plug from the transformer accessory socket (12) and plugging in an input transformer module (PL-2). The Peavey model PL-2 [...]

In other words, the crossover modules and all associ- ated connectors (as well as the PL-2 transformers and respective XLR connectors) are islands unto themselves: in this case, two islands with each crossover having a balanced input (1 l), dual (parallel) unbalanced inputs (13), an unbalanced low output [...]

If individual loads were connected to each output (as in normal stereo applications) when the bridge mode is selected. Channel A would supply a normal in-phase signal to its respective load, but Channel B would supply an abnormal out-of-phase signal to its respe[...]

If, however, the ampti- fier is used in a small club, church, or studio application where the full-output capability of the power amplifier is seldom needed, or there is no need for [...]

normal intermittent applications, low-speed fan operation will provide adequate cooling. Since the CS 1200X is a redundant two-channel amplifier, but only one fan is employed, the fan circuitry is an independent system, separately fused internally. You will notice that the heat sink components are divided horizontally. The lower half contains Chann[...]

The result usually is severe clipping (distortion) of the high-frequency material. In a biamplified system, the high-frequency material is routed to its own power amplifier (and associated loud- speaker), which avoids the clipping problem. This results in an effective increase in system headroom that is greater than that which is obtained by simply[...]

If desired, the parallel unbalanced phone jack inputs (13) may be used to supply signal to the crossover module. In addition, whenever the XLR connector on a particular crossover island is used (either balanced or unbalanced), the crossover in[...]
