WARNING!  
A
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 at 8 ohms minimum.  
The world-famous  
1000 power amplifier has been changed to the new, extended-performance  
1000X. This upgraded model provides impressive  
output power capability while still maintain-  
ing the current and  
ratings, and meets rigid industry standards for power bandwidth, slew rate, and  
distortion specifications.  
The new extended specs are:

conditions. Next to each ladder the calibration is  
below full power.” This is a convenient scale that  
indicates the amount of power amp headroom left for any signal condition.  
INPUT SENSITIVITY CONTROLS (4)  
The CS  
features a 31 detent, calibrated sensitivity control for each channel. Each control is labeled to  
show the actual input sensitivity ratings of the amplifier for various settings in decibel volts necessary to  
attain the full-output power rating. Thus, maximum input gain (minimum sensitivity rating) is achieved at  
the full clockwise setting, and this setting yields maximum mixer/system headroom. A setting of less than  
full clockwise will yield lower system noise at the expense of mixer/system headroom. A more thorough  
discussion of input sensitivity follows later in this manual.  
MAINS POWER SWITCH (5)  
A The front panel of the CS 1000X contains a conventional on/off rocker switch. When the amplifier is  
plugged into a suitable power source, activating this switch should light both channel  
the power-up delay sequence is completed (approximately two seconds). You should also be able to hear  
the output relays close (click). If the amplifier is cool, the fan should start on low-speed operation. If only

one channel  
indicator lights, then the possibility exists of an internal “fault.” If neither channel  
indicator lights, check the rear panel circuit breaker and the mains power source. It’s always a good idea to  
check to see that the cooling fan is operational, especially on a new unit. The possibility exists that due to  
shipping and handling, the fan bearings may be too tight to allow low-speed fan operation. If this is the case,  
immediately seek professional help. The CS 1000X must have normal fan operation to provide adequate  
cooling for the unit. Without air flow, the amplifier will “thermal” very quickly under any signal conditions.

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 course. Most loudspeaker systems simply cannot

MAINS POWER SOURCE (120V products only) (8)  
The CS is fitted with a single heavy-duty AWG 3 conductor line cord and a conventional AC  
plug with a ground pin. It should be connected to an independent mains circuit capable of delivering at least  
15 AMPS continuously. This is particularly critical for sustained high-power applications. If the socket does  
not have a ground pin, a suitable ground lift adaptor should be used, and the third wire grounded properly.

Never break off the ground pin on the CS 1000X or any amplifier. The use of extension cords should be  
avoided, but if essential, always use a three-wire type with at least a AWG wire size. The use of lighter  
wire will severely limit the power capability of this amplifier. Always use a qualified electrician to install  
any necessary electrical equipment. To prevent the risk of shock or fire hazard, always be sure that the  
amplifier is properly grounded.  
CIRCUIT BREAKER (9)  
The new CS 1000X now features a circuit breaker in place of the mains fuse. This breaker is provided to  
limit the mains current to the associated power transformer, thereby protecting it from overheating and  
possible destruction due to any fault conditions in the amplifier. The trip current value has been carefully  
chosen to allow continuous power output performance, while still providing adequate protection for the  
power transformer itself. Normally the breaker should not trip; however, abnormal conditions such as a  
short circuit on either or both channels, or continuous operation at overload or clipping, especially into a  
load, will cause the breaker to trip. If this occurs, simply reset the breaker and correct the cause of  
A
the overload. When tripped, the button on the breaker will be extended outward nearly  
and can be reset  
If this “thermal”-type breaker does trip,  
by pushing inward. A normal reset button length is about  
simply pushing the button back in will reset it, after waiting a brief period of time to allow it to cool down.  
If the breaker trips instantly each time you attempt to reset it, then the unit should be taken to a qualified  
service center for repair.  
The back panel of the CS 1000X features a unique “back-porch” design containing the various input and  
output connectors for each channel. A patch panel is also included, providing a very flexible system for use  
with balanced-input transformers and dual crossover networks. These features are unduplicated in any other  
stereo power amplifier on the market today.  
MODE SWITCH (10)  
The mode switch is located on the “back-porch” next to the channel input jacks. This switch converts the  
CS 1000X from normal stereo mode to bridge mode. Bridge-mode operation is very popular for commercial  
sound distribution systems  
volt lines).  
WARNING: In bridge mode, the CS 1000X is capable of delivering 1000 W RMS into 8 ohms and  
1500 W RMS into 4 ohms. Always be very certain that the associated loudspeaker system can handle this  
power level reliably. Also, be advised that in most crossover applications, accidental switching to the  
bridge mode could destroy the speaker system. Specific applications of the bridge mode will be covered  
later in this manual.

LOW-Z INPUTS (11)  
Conventional three-pin, female XLR input jacks are provided, which can be used as either the channel  
inputs or the crossover inputs, depending upon what has been plugged into the crossover socket (14). Fur-  
ther, this XLR input is balanced or unbalanced, depending upon what is plugged into the transformer socket  
(12). When the (PL-2) line-balancing transformer is used in socket  
this XLR input becomes fully  
TRANSFORMER-BALANCED, with pin  
blank plug (PL-1) is inserted in socket  
as the positive input and pin as the negative input. When a  
this XLR input becomes unbalanced, with pin  
as positive  
the XLR  
input and pin  
as ground. If a PL-MODULE ELECTRONIC CROSSOVER is plugged into socket  
the XLR input system drives the crossover, but if a blank plug (PL- 1) is inserted in socket  
input system is connected directly to the channel power amp input.  
TRANSFORMER RECEPTACLES (12)  
These receptacles only receive the optional (PL-2) line-balancing transformer. When conditions exist that  
demand the usage of a TRANSFORMER-BALANCED XLR at the input of a power 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 flexible Y-cord capability. The output of the LOW-Z XLR  
input circuitry is always connected to these inputs, which allow the LOW-Z INPUT to be used as the ELEC-  
TRONIC CROSSOVER input if desired. These inputs can then be used as FULL-RANGE outputs for  
additional patching capability.  
CROSSOVER MODULE RECEPTACLE (14)  
This receptacle may only receive a plug-in PL-MODULE ELECTRONIC CROSSOVER. PL-MODULES  
are optional accessories and are available in many different crossover frequencies. Some modules contain  
special equalization and padding for a particular Peavey speaker enclosure. Always be sure to select the  
correct module for your speaker system. Other special-purpose modules are also available for use with this  
receptacle. This receptacle supplies both the input and output patch facilities as well as the power supply  
“feeds” for these active electronic devices.  
CROSSOVER LOW OUTPUT (15)  
This jack supplies the crossed-over low-frequency output from the installed PL-MODULE ELECTRONIC  
CROSSOVER. This output must be patched to the appropriate power amp input jack to “create” an opera-  
tional biamp system. On some special-purpose modules, this output jack is not used.  
CROSSOVER HIGH OUTPUT (16)  
This jack supplies the crossed-over high-frequency output from the installed PL-MODULE ELECTRONIC  
CROSSOVER. This output must also be patched to the appropriate power amp input jack to create an  
operational biamp system.  
POWER AMPLIFIER INPUT (17)  
Two parallel input jacks are provided for each channel, delivering flexible Y-cord capability. These jacks  
can be considered the normal power amplifier high-Z input. If a blank plug (PL-1) is inserted in the cross-  
over accessory socket  
the associated XLR input system is connected to these input jacks internally,  
permitting the XLR input (11) to be a direct power amplifier input without the use of a patch cord.

SPEAKER OUTPUTS (18) (19)  
Two jacks and binding post speaker output terminals are provided for each channel, with all the  
outputs from each channel in parallel. Thus, the loudspeaker connection cables can be terminated with  
phone plugs, banana plugs, or stripped wires for use in the binding post terminals. For sustained high-power  
applications, the use of the binding post terminals is highly recommended; however, care must be exercised  
to assure correct speaker phasing. Regardless of what connections are used, the typical parallel speaker load  
should always be limited to 2 ohms 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 applica-  
tions, because 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 at loads below 2  
ohms could result in temporary amp shutdown due to operation of the thermal limiting and/or the fault  
detection circuitry.  
INSTALLATION AND CONNECTION  
The Peavey CS 1000X Commercial Series Power Amplifier is designed for durability in commercial instal-  
lations and quality of performance required in studio and home applications. The unit is a standard  
rack-mount configuration that requires 5  
fan. The front panel contains various LED indicators for the monitoring of power output, DDT activation,  
and thermal shutdown. and calibrated input sensitivity controls and a heavy-duty mains power  
rack height; it is cooled by an automatic two-speed internal  
switch are also provided. All inputs, outputs, and patch points are on the back panel.  
MAINS POWER SOURCE  
If possible, each amplifier should be connected to separate mains circuits capable of delivering at least 15  
amps continuously. This is most critical for sustained high-power applications into 2 ohms per channel. For  
lesser loadings, it is possible to use two amplifiers per mains circuit, each having a  
capability. Never  
break off the ground pin on the CS 1000X. Always use a qualified electrician to install any necessary elec-  
trical equipment. To prevent the risk of shock or fire hazard, always check to see that the amplifiers are  
properly grounded.  
INDUSTRIAL AND COMMERCIAL INSTALLATIONS  
For commercial and other installations where sustained high-power operation is required, the amplifiers  
should be mounted in a standard 19” rack. It is not necessary to leave a rack space between each amplifier in  
the stack, since the fan pulls air in from the rear and exhausts the hot air out of the front. An adequate cool  
air supply must be provided for the amplifiers when rack-mounted. The internal fan must have a source of  
air that is not preheated by other equipment. The amplifier will start up in low-speed fan operation and will  
normally stay at low-speed operation unless sustained high-power operating levels occur. As the amplifier  
heat sinks heat up, the automatic thermal-sensing circuitry will cause high-speed operation to occur. De-  
pending upon signal conditions and amplifier loading, high-speed fan operation may continue, or the fan  
may cycle continuously between high and low. This situation is quite normal. If cooling is inadequate due to  
preheated air, or a reduction of air flow occurs due to blockage of the inlet or outlet ports, or if the amplifier  
is severely overloaded or short-circuited, the internal thermal-sensing system may cause temporary shut-  
down of that particular channel. Depending upon the availability of cool air, operation should be restored in  
that channel relatively quickly. In any case, corrective action should be taken to determine the cause of the  
thermal shutdown. If the amplifier is not severely overloaded or short-circuited, and air flow is normal in the  
amplifier, steps should be taken to provide a cooler environment for all the amplifiers. As a general rule, the  
cooler electronic equipment is operated, the longer its useful service life will be.

PORTABLE RACK-MOUNT APPLICATIONS  
Due to the weight of the CS  
we highly recommend that some additional support be provided at the  
back panel of the amplifier whenever units are installed in a portable rack-mount configuration. Two  
bolts have been provided at the rear of the CS 1000X for this purpose. These bolts should be  
attached to a suitable bracketing arrangement to provide this additional support. Also, two guards have been  
provided on the rear panel of the CS 1000X to protect connectors and PL cans, and to provide a means for  
routing cables.  
CAUTION: THESE ARE NOT HANDLES, AND THEY SHOULD NEVER BE USED TO LIFT THE  
AMPLIFIER!  
STUDIO INSTALLATION  
In most low- to medium-power applications, the power amplifier can be mounted in any configuration. It is  
desirable that, if at all possible, the power amp be located at the top of an equipment stack. This will prevent  
possible overheating of sensitive equipment by the hot air rising from the power amplifier. As a general  
rule, most home and studio requirements will never cause high-speed fan operation. If it does, however, this  
may indicate that you have not taken the necessary steps to provide adequate cooling. Remember, closed up  
in a cabinet, the CS 1000X will have severe cooling problems, even when operated at low power levels.  
Inadvertent short circuit or sustained overload usage could also cause temporary thermal shutdown.  
INPUT CONNECTIONS  
The two  
jacks marked channel inputs (17) are wired in parallel for ease of connecting to each channel.  
The dual (parallel) jacks allow daisy-chaining to additional channels. If RCA-type pin jacks are required, a  
suitable adaptor can be used. Shielded cables must be used to minimize hum and noise pickup. The nominal  
input impedance is 20 kilohms. This impedance presents a bridging load to the associated driving equipment  
and is compatible with the loading limits of most home stereo devices. The CS  
has an input sensitiv-  
ity of V RMS for rated output with the front panel sensitivity control set to full clockwise.  
Again, this rating is compatible with most home stereo preamps. This sensitivity rating increases as the  
control is turned counterclockwise. The new sensitivity rating is indicated by the setting of the calibrated  
sensitivity control. It is generally wise to start off with the sensitivity control at the full clockwise setting.  
The sensitivity control is discussed in greater detail later in this manual.  
OUTPUT CONNECTIONS  
Two types of output connectors are provided on the rear panel of the amplifier. Two standard  
phone  
jacks wired in parallel (18) and one set of  
binding posts (19) are available on each channel. Due to  
the high currents at full-output power, it is recommended that  
ever possible. For extremely long runs (30’ or greater),  
AWG or larger wire size be used when-  
AWG should be used. Smaller wire sizes will  
waste power and yield less than optimum results at the speaker. We suggest that in commercial and other  
non-portable applications, the binding posts (18) be used instead of the phone jacks. The binding  
posts are an industry standard, and matching banana plugs are available at most electronic distributors. As  
with any electronic equipment, proper phase of the outputs is a  
OPERATION  
The CS 1000X 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  
turning up the sensitivity controls (4) to the full clockwise setting, and then adjusting the associated mixer or  
pre-amplification equipment to supply the necessary signal levels to provide the desired output level or until  
the front panel DDT active LED indicator shows that the amplifier is compressing. Further increases in

signal levels beyond this point will not produce any significant increase in output and may cause distortion  
problems.  
MODES OF OPERATION  
1. STEREO MODE (UNBALANCED INPUTS)  
The CS 1000X is shipped from the factory with jumper plugs inserted in the transformer (12) and crossover  
(14) accessory sockets. These jumper plugs are necessary if the low-impedance connectors (11) are to be  
used as inputs for each channel. As indicated in Diagram 1, the XLR connectors are wired in an unbalanced  
configuration (pins 1 and 2 are ground; pin 3 is input). The unbalanced-input configuration is acceptable  
whenever relatively short cable runs are employed, or when the associated mixer used has a full trans-  
former-balanced output. Under these circumstances, this configuration will usually provide adequate hum  
and interference rejection for most environments. Notice that the jumper plugs in the crossover accessory  
sockets are required to complete the signal patch to the respective power amp inputs (17). If the normal  
unbalanced  
however, that they be left in their respective sockets for possible later usage. As with all Peavey amplifiers,  
the CS 1000X has two power amp input jacks per channel which offer considerable flexibility in hook-  
power amp input jacks are used instead, the jumper plugs are not necessary. It is suggested,  
up possibilities. For monaural operation, the same signal is applied to both channels; the mixer output is  
plugged in one of the parallel input jacks in one of the channels, and a short shielded jumper cable is con-  
nected between the remaining input jack on that channel to one of the parallel input jacks on the other  
channel. This technique is called daisy-chaining, and can be repeated many times to patch to additional  
amplifier channels requiring the same signal feed.

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 transformer module is a nominal 1: 1 turn-ratio type, resulting in unity gain. In Diagram 2, the XLR  
connector is now wired as a conventional balanced-type input (pin 1 is ground; pin 2 is negative; pin 3 is  
positive). The jumper plugs in the crossover accessory sockets are required to complete the signal patch to  
the respective power amp inputs (14). For balanced stereo operation, two PL-2 modules are required. For  
monaural operation, only one PL-2 is needed, and the inputs can be connected by placing a short shielded  
jumper cable between one of the power amp input jacks (17) on each channel. Thus, the XLR connector  
associated with the PL-2 module is the balanced-system input, and the other XLR connector is not used.

3. BIAMP STEREO MODE  
The Peavey CS-1000X patch panel can also be used to biamp and/or provide special equalization capabili-  
ties for loudspeaker systems. Various electronic crossovers and special purpose modules are available in a  
broad range of frequencies for both Peavey and non-Peavey loudspeaker systems. More complicated sys-  
tems, such as stereo biamped, triamped, or even  
crossover systems are possible. We suggest you  
contact your Authorized Peavey Dealer for details. A typical stereo biamp system will be discussed in this  
manual. Referring to Diagram 3, the jumper plugs in both crossover accessory sockets (14) have been  
replaced by two-way crossover modules. Also, notice that the PL-2 transformer modules are still in the  
transformer accessory sockets (12). This configuration now has the makings of a complete stereo-balanced  
biamp system. The only thing required is an additional stereo power amplifier, which, together with the  
existing dual power amp sections of the CS  
makes up the four independent power amplifiers re-  
quired for a stereo biamplification system. You will notice that because of the pin-out arrangements of the  
jumper plugs versus the crossover networks, whenever the jumper plugs are removed from the crossover  
accessory sockets  
the power amplifier inputs for the respective channels are isolated (no longer con-  
nected to anything). In other words, the crossover modules and all associated connectors (as well as the  
2 transformers and respective XLR connectors) are islands unto themselves: in this case, two islands with

each crossover having a balanced input (1  
dual (parallel) unbalanced inputs  
an unbalanced low  
output and an unbalanced high output (16). In order to complete the system, external patching must be  
accomplished between the low and high crossover outputs and the various power amp inputs using shielded  
patch cords. A patch diagram showing this arrangement is included at the end of this manual.  
3A. BIAMP MONO MODE  
Obviously, for a monaural biamp system (only one mixer feed), only one crossover module is required and  
only one crossover island will be used. In this case, one channel of the CS  
can be patched for the  
lows and the other channel patched for the highs, resulting in a simple, compact system with outstanding  
performance.  
CAUTION:  
Since the CS  
is capable of producing more than 500 watts RMS per channel into a  
load, the  
high-frequency components of the particular loudspeaker system must be able to handle these power levels  
reliably. Alternatively, use a smaller power amplifier!  
4. BRIDGE MODE  
Diagram 4 shows the actual arrangement for the CS 1000X patch panel in the bridge mode. Notice that the  
jumper plugs are inserted in the transformer (12) and crossover (14) accessory sockets of Island A. These  
jumper plugs cause the XLR connector of this island to be wired in the unbalanced configuration (as in  
Diagram 1) and complete the connection to the Channel A power amp input jacks (which are now the only  
active inputs). The Channel A sensitivity control now determines the sensitivity of the bridge-mode ampli-  
fier. The Channel B input jacks and sensitivity control serve no purpose in this mode, and are actually  
electronically removed from the circuit. Both sets of parallel  
output phone jacks are also not normally  
used in the bridge mode. Remember, the minimum load must be connected between the red binding  
posts. 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 respective load, and both of these signals would contain  
Channel A source material (Channel B source material, if present, would be defeated). This is a potentially  
dangerous situation, especially if the individual channels are being used to supply high and low signals in a  
typical biamp configuration. Obviously, the speaker components on Channel B would no longer be supplied  
their intended signal but an out-of-phase version of the Channel A signal, which could easily destroy the

associated loudspeaker components. To help prevent this, whenever the bridge mode is selected, the standby  
LED and the LED array itself on Channel B is defeated (off), just as if there was some kind of a fault  
condition present on Channel B. This provides a positive indication that the CS 1000X is no longer in the  
stereo mode.  
INPUT SENSITIVITY CONTROLS  
The input sensitivity rating of a power amplifier is the RMS voltage level required at the input to produce  
full-rated power into the rated load at the output. This voltage then becomes the level at which the associ-  
ated mixer must operate in order to drive the amplifier to full output. The CS 1000X sensitivity controls are  
calibrated in decibel volt values rather than RMS voltage (usually listed in typical mixer specs), and as such  
are more useful, since most contemporary mixers employ LED arrays to indicate mixer output levels and are  
calibrated in decibel volts. Knowing the power amplifier sensitivity rating in decibel volts will allow the  
mixer operator to know the status of the power amplifier by noting which LED on the mixer is peaking.  
Obviously, the LED labeled the same or closest to the sensitivity rating of the power amplifier will indicate  
full power output of the system. Operation at levels above this rating will cause the power amplifier to clip  
(produce distortion) unless the associated amplifier has a compressor/limiter to minimize this distortion.  
Such a system, called DDT (U.S. Patent  
is included in the CS  
and the advantages  
should be obvious. Without DDT, the sound engineer must “ride gain” on the mixer or employ an outboard  
limiter in order to prevent amp clipping. With DDT the sound man can relax more and enjoy the “ride.” For  
maximum mixer headroom (which in turn really is maximum compression range), the input sensitivity  
control should be set at the maximum clockwise setting. This is always the best setting to start with. If,  
however, the amplifier 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 large amounts of headroom capability, the  
full-clockwise setting may not be the wisest choice. Then too, such applications often require low system  
noise. In this case, it is possible to reduce the overall system noise at the expense of headroom capability by  
increasing the power amplifier sensitivity as in the following example: if, instead of a sensitivity rating of  
we adjust the CS 1000X to a rating of  
and the system headroom will decrease 9  
overall system noise will be improved by 9  
COMPRESSION  
The CS 1000X is a compact and powerful amplifier that features a new type of dynamic compression. This  
compression system enables the user to maximize the performance of the amplifier/speaker combination.  
We have determined through much research that the compression circuitry should prevent the power ampli-  
fier from running out of headroom (clipping) and should be as simple to operate as possible to avoid undue  
complication for the user. This compression system is activated by our exclusive DDT compression cir-  
cuitry, which senses conditions that might overload the amplifier and activates compression when clipping  
is imminent. In other words, compression takes place whenever signal conditions exist that prevent the  
amplifiers from faithfully reproducing the input signal. In this case, threshold is clipping itself, and no  
specific threshold control is provided. This technique effectively utilizes every precious watt available from  
the power amplifier. Techniques using external compressors/limiters are usually less effective, severely  
limit output power levels and require additional controls, and add complexity to an already complicated  
system. The DDT system is an automatic, hands-off approach to the problem of amp clipping. Because of  
the dynamics of music and vocals, it is quite common to activate the DDT compression circuitry almost  
constantly during a high-level performance, since this is what it was designed to do: i.e., to maximize the  
dynamics available from the amplifier within its power-output capabilities regardless of power supply/AC  
line voltage variations and load impedance selection. Defeating the DDT compression should be very  
carefully considered before one just “flips the switch.” Most loudspeaker systems simply cannot handle the  
square wave power of the CS  
and defeating the DDT system opens up the door for severe clipping!

Often studio engineers feel the need to defeat the DDT compressor, for fear it might color the sound in  
studio listening. The DDT compressor is only activated when clipping is imminent. Until this occurs, it’s  
simply a passive friend. The only reason the defeat switch is there in the first place is to allow check-out  
technicians to evaluate the power amplifier at clipping. Valuable performance information, such as  
supply ripple and regulation, can only be assessed when an amplifier is allowed to clip.  
THERMAL SYSTEM  
The CS 1000X has a unique thermal system that employs a tunnel-type heat sink design to provide maxi-  
mum cooling for the 24 power transistors (12 for each channel). A single 100 CFM fan mounted on the back  
panel of the unit provides an almost unrestricted airflow through the tunnel to provide the lowest possible  
operating temperature for the power devices. This approach is so efficient that even continuous operation  
into 2 ohms will not cause a thermal shutdown unless the ambient air temperature is considerably higher  
than normal (above 40” C). Under normal intermittent applications, low-speed fan operation will provide  
adequate cooling. Since the CS 1000X is a 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 compo-  
nents are divided horizontally. The lower half contains Channel A output transistors, while the upper half  
belongs to Channel B. The fan provides equal cooling for both channels. Each channel has separate built-in  
thermal sensors and fault logic circuitry. If one channel’s heat sink reaches an operating temperature of  
its logic will cause high-speed fan operation irrespective of the other channel’s operating temperature.  
In other words, either channel’s heating will control the fan speed. Under normal continuous usage at  
rated power output into the rated load, the thermal logic system will continuously monitor heat sink tem-  
peratures and will automatically select the fan speed required to maintain safe operating limits for the power  
transistors.  
HIGH TEMPERATURE LIMITS  
Because of the very efficient design of the CS 1000X heat tunnel dissipation system, thermal shutdown  
conditions will almost never occur unless there is truly an external fault. For continuous operation, the  
CS  
requires a source of cool air. As an added help in locating mismatched or shorted speakers, the  
DDT active LED is a powerful tool. If this LED flashes continuously at relatively low-output power levels  
(indicated by low-power readings on the LED array), it is almost a sure sign that the amplifier loading  
impedance is too low in value, or that there might be a short circuit. Remember, usually the power LED  
array should reach 100% before the DDT system is activated on any particular channel. The CS 1000X also  
has a fail-safe thermal mechanism built into the unit. If  
channel’s thermal logic system should fail to  
cause thermal shutdown in that channel or if the fan itself should fail, this fail-safe system will shut down  
the entire amplifier, just as if you had turned off the power switch. This is just one more protection that  
Peavey has incorporated into this unique amplifier as a backup system. If this should ever occur, immedi-  
ately seek professional help at an authorized Peavey service center.  
PASSIVE CROSSOVER  
The purpose of a traditional high-level passive crossover found inside most speaker systems is to separate  
the low-frequency material from the program and feed it to the woofer (low-frequency driver), and to  
separate the high-frequency material from the program and feed it to the tweeter (high-frequency driver).  
This crossover is connected between a power amplifier and the speakers, and, as its name implies, is made  
up entirely of passive components (no transistors or tubes). Such a system is usually referred to as  
range,” which simply means that the power amplifier must handle the full range of frequencies. There are  
many good reasons for using a biamplified professional system as opposed to a full-range system. One  
reason is that the biamp system will provide more headroom with the same power amplifier complement  
than that of the full-range system.  
Download from Www.Somanuals.co1m4. All Manuals Search And Download.  
The term headroom deserves some consideration. Program material (music or speech) is made up of many  
different frequencies and their harmonics. Most music, especially contemporary rock music, is bass-heavy.  
That is, the low-frequency material contains much more energy than the high-frequency material. If both  
high- and low-frequency material, such as voice and bass guitar, are present in a full-range system, the  
energy bass frequencies can use up most of the power available from the power amplifier, leaving little (or  
none) for the high frequencies. 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 loudspeaker), which avoids the clipping problem. This results in an effective increase in system  
headroom that is greater than that which is obtained by simply using a second power amplifier/speaker  
combination in full-range operation. To biamp, then, some type of active crossover is employed in the mixer  
feed to separate the low- and high-frequency material, which is then patched to separate power amplifiers to  
drive separate loudspeaker components. Such a system is easily accomplished with the Peavey CS 1000X  
power amplifier patch panel and associated CS Series plug-in active crossover modules.  
The Peavey DDT compression system adds a totally new dimension to the typical biamped system. Each  
power amplifier channel now has its own Distortion Detection Technique circuitry, and each is completely  
independent. When signal conditions exist that could cause clipping in the low-frequency power amp  
channel(s), the DDT system will simply limit that portion of the total biamp system. This will in no way  
affect the high-frequency portion of the biamp system, and it is free to increase in level until conditions exist  
that could cause clipping in that particular power amp channel(s). At that point, the DDT system will limit  
the high-frequency portion of the system. This is a very effective two-level compression system and will  
yield sound pressure levels unmatched by conventional broad-band compression techniques.  
BIAMP SYSTEM NOTES  
1.  
A biamp configuration is only possible with loudspeaker systems that provide access to the  
individual speaker components, bypassing the built-in passive crossover (most Peavey systems offer  
biamp high and low switching jacks on the back panel).  
2.  
The crossover module used must have the proper characteristics to match the particular loudspeaker  
system. Of greatest importance is the crossover frequency. Peavey offers a variety of plug-in  
crossover modules that are specifically designed to match the various loudspeakers in the Peavey  
product line. These crossovers have the correct crossover frequency, high-frequency pad, and  
equalization for the particular loudspeaker, resulting in system performance with a very flat  
frequency response. Also available are general purpose crossover modules at various frequencies  
from 100 to 5000 Hz for non-Peavey loudspeaker systems.  
The outputs of the crossover modules (both high and low) can drive several power amp inputs. The  
parallel input jacks can be used to daisy-chain to additional power amps for an expanded system on  
either the low- or high-frequency system (or both). Remember, the components in most Peavey  
biampable speaker systems are 8 ohms. All Peavey CSX series power amplifiers are now rated at  
2 ohms. This means that the allowable maximum number of components connected to any one  
particular power amplifier channel is four (four horns, four woofers). If additional components are  
required in larger systems, more power amp channels are needed. Often experienced sound  
technicians limit the maximum number of components to three per power amp channel. This practice  
allows the power amplifiers to run much cooler and creates a system that is less likely to shut down  
thermally in a high-temperature environment!  
3.  
4.  
The PL-2 transformer module can be removed and the jumper reinstalled in any particular crossover  
island if a balanced input is not desired or required for the crossover module. In this case, the  
associated XLR connector (11) is now unbalanced as per previous discussion. 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  
15

unbalanced), the crossover input jacks (13) can be used to patch out full-range signals to other  
amplifier/speaker systems that are operating in full range or other biamped systems that  
require different crossovers.  
Care must be taken never to remove or replace a crossover module with the

socket, and removal or replacement could cause severe transients that can destroy the loudspeaker

for any reason, the redundancy of the system will maintain operation of the crossovers.  
The individual sensitivity controls on each channel play a very important role in the use of the  
crossover modules. As such, they represent a signal loss when they are operated at another setting  
other than full clockwise (maximum sensitivity). Biamped speaker systems usually require less  
signal level for the high-frequency components because they are generally more efficient.  
Consequently, a system balance can be achieved by reducing the high-pass level. This is particularly  
important on non-Peavey loudspeakers where the PL-500, PL-800 or PL- 1200 crossover modules  
must be used. These modules are referred to as “no pad and equalization” types. As such, there is no  
reduction in high-pass level. Consequently, the pad must be accomplished using the high-pass  
channel sensitivity control. The amount of pad required is always the difference between the  
efficiency ratings of the high and low speaker components. Whenever Peavey loudspeakers are  
operated using the special crossovers, the sensitivity controls should be set at full-clockwise settings  
(maximum sensitivity) to provide maximum system headroom, since the correct pad and  
equalization is already provided in the crossover module itself.  
6.  
BRIDGE MODE NOTES  
The bridge mode on stereo amplifiers is often misunderstood as to actual operation and usage. In  
1.  
basic terms, when a two-channel amplifier is operated in the bridge mode, it is converted to a  
channel unit with a power rating equal to the sum of both channels’ continuous power ratings, at a  
load rating of twice that of the single-channel ratings. For the  
the bridge ratings are now  
1000 W RMS into 8 ohms and 1500 W RMS into 4 ohms (minimum load). Bridge-mode operation  
is accomplished by placing the mode switch (10) in the bridge position, connecting the load between  
the red binding posts of each channel, and using Channel A as the input channel. All the input  
functions of Channel B are defeated. What actually happens from a technical standpoint is that  
Channel B is supplied an input signal that is equal in level but is 180 degrees out of phase from  
that of the Channel A input signal (i.e., when Channel A’s signal is positive, Channel B’s signal is  
negative, and vice versa). Thus, the load (which is connected between the channel outputs) sees the  
sum of the output voltages of both channels (which is then twice that of the single channel), and this  
load must be 4 ohms or greater.  
For proper bridge-mode operation, both wires of the output must “float” above ground. If either wire

becomes grounded, this will present a short circuit to the associated channel of the  
an aid in determining the condition of the distribution system, the DDT activation  
1000X. As  
on both  
channels are operational when the bridge mode is selected. Whenever the  
1000X reaches  
power output, both DDT activation should flash simultaneously, indicating that DDT  
compression is taking place in both channels. This is a normal indication, since in bridge mode  
with normal loading, both channels should reach full power simultaneously. If the DDT activation  
LED on one channel flashes at a much lower signal level than that of the other channel, this indicates  
that the bridge loading is not balanced, and that one leg may have become shorted to ground. In this  
case, steps should be taken to locate the problem and clear it. If both  
flash at relatively  
output power levels, this indicates that the total bridge loading is too low in value or possibly

shorted across itself. Remember, just as in the stereo mode, the power LED array (Channel A)  
should reach 100% indication before the DDT system is activated on both channels.  
3.  
4.  
The jumper plug in the transformer accessory socket (12) of channel A island can be replaced with a  
PL-2 transformer module. This will convert the XLR connector on Island A to balanced operation  
and provide a balanced input for the bridged  
1000X.  
The jumper plug in the crossover accessory socket (14) of the Channel A island can be replaced with  
a crossover or other special-purpose plug-in module. As per previous discussion, the associated  
bridge power amp input jacks (17) are now isolated, and signals must be patched to this bridge input  
to complete the circuit. Obviously, in bridge mode, the  
1000X is only a one-channel amp.  
Consequently, to biamp, additional power amplifier channels must be available. Again, a word of  
caution concerning the power-handling capability of the associated loudspeaker components: Unless  
the components are part of an array connected in some series/parallel arrangement to distribute the  
power, biamping with the  
1000X in bridge mode (1500 watts) should be avoided.  
5.  
You should notice from Diagram 4 that crossover island B is completely isolated whenever bridge  
mode is selected, and it is normally not used. We leave its use to your imagination....
