CS 800 5 FRONT PANEL DDT" ACTIVE LED (1) Illuminates when DDT" Compression is taking place. With the ENABLE/DEFEAT switch in the DEFEAT position, the LED indicates when clipping distortion is occurring. POWER LED (2) Illuminates when AC power is being supplied to the amp and the associated channel is operational. Illumination is delayed slightly during the power-up cycle due to the transient suppression/thermal fault circuitry. If either channel experiences fault conditions or exceeds the safe operating temperature limits, then that channel will shut down, and the associated power LED will go out indicating such conditions exist. Also, whenever the BRIDGE mode is selected, the power LED on channel B is defeated (OFF), just as if there were à fault condition on channel B. This provides a positive indication that the CS 800$ is in bridge mode. INPUT SENSITIVITY (3) Maximum power amplifier input gain (minimum sensitivity) is achieved at the full clockwise setting. This setting yields maximum mixer/system headroom. À setting of less than full clockwise will yield lower system noise at the expense of headroom. Calibration indicates sensitivity in dBV necessary to attain the full output power rating. POWER SWITCH (4) Depress to “on” position to power up unit. AIR EXHAUST PORT (5) This is where the hot air from the heat sinks exhaust from the amplifier. Any restriction or blockage could cause excessive operation temperatures and the unit could shut down!

REAR PANEL CIRCUIT BREAKER (6) The CS? 800$ uses a circuit breaker in place of the main fuse. This breaker is provided to limit the current to the digital power supply and thereby protect it from overheating and possible destruction due to 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 supply. Normally this breaker should not trip unless there is a fault in the amplifier circuitry that draws excessive mains current. However, abnormal conditions such as a short circuit on either or both channels or continuous operation at overload or clipping, especially into 2 ohm load will cause the breaker to trip. If this occurs, simply reset the breaker and correct the cause of the overload. When tripped, the button on the breaker will be outward nearly 1/2", and can be reset by pushing inward. À normal reset button length is about 1/4". If this “thermal” type breaker does trip, then simply pushing the button back in will reset it after waiting a brief period of time to allow it to cool. If the breaker trips instantiy when you attempt to reset it, the unit should be taken to a qualified service center for repair.

À'EC MAINS POWER CONNECTOR (7) The CS 8008 is fitted with a universal IEC connector. Into this connector one should always insert a heavy duty #14 AWG 3 conductor line cord with a conventional AC plug with a ground pin. This line cord should be connected to an independent mains circuit capable of supporting at least 15 amps continuously or greater. This is particularly critical for sustained high power applications. If the socket used does not have a ground pin, a suitable ground lift adapter should be used and the third wire grounded properly. Never break off the ground pin on the 3 conductor line cord. The use of extension cords should be avoided, but if necessary, always use à three-wire type with at least a #14 AWG wire size. The use of lighter wire will severely limit the power capability of this amplifier. Always use à 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. DDT" SWITCH (8) This switch is used to either ENABLE or DEFEAT the DDT" compressor. MODE SWITCH (9) This switch is used to select either STEREO or BRIDGE mode of operation. BALANCED/

THE B1 INPUT MODULE (10) JUNBALANCED

The standard input module shipped with each amplifier is called the B1 MODULE. It offers both XLR electronic balanced and phone jack quasi-balanced inputs for each channel using Neutrik's new "combo" connector to save panel space. . CHANNEL À

The female XLR inputs (11) are connected to dual OP AMP circuitry which offers very low noise and extremely high common mode rejection ratio to minimize outside interferencel Between the two XLR connectors is a recessed switch (13) which allows the user to select the desired polarity (phase) of the XLR inputs. This switch is a push-push type and a small diameter “tool” is required to select the desired position. Set to the out (default) position, the polarity is pin #3 positive, pin #2 negative, and pin #1 ground. This is the polarity found on most Peavey power amplifiers. Although this is not the world “standard” (IEC) polarity, it was chosen by Peavey more than 20 years ago, and thus we offer this polarity to be consistent with products both past and present. If this amplifier is used with other competitive products which use the IEC standard polarity, then the “in” position of switch (13) should be selected yielding pin #2 positive, pin #3 negative, and pin #1 ground. As with any electronic gear, polarity (phasing) is important because the loudspeaker enclosures associated with this power amplifier must be in phase with any other loudspeaker enclosures associated with other power amps. If one loudspeaker system were to “push” while the other “pulls”, then a serious sound “cancellation” could result. Changing the setting of the polarity switch has the same effect as reversing the polarity of the loudspeaker connections at the output. The female 1/4" phone jack input (12) in the center of the “combo” connectors are also connected to à unique "quasi- balanced” input circuitry. When used, these 1/4" jacks are not “chassis grounded” but connected to ground through a relatively low impedance circuit which is part of a “ground loop” elimination circuitry associated with the input. This feature will normally allow “hum free” operation when relatively short 1/4" cable patches are made to this input from various outputs on this amp and other equipment that share the same rack with this amp. This “quasi-balanced” circuit is “automatic”, and is virtually invisible in normal usage. It can not be defeated. Each channel also has a female phone jack (14) labeled “thru". This jack offers a very flexible patching capability. When the XLR input connectors (11) are used, then this "thru" jack is the output of the electronic balanced input circuitry, and as such can be used as à “line out” to connect to the other input jack on this amplifier or other amps in the same rack. Thus one balanced mixer feed can be connected to the amp via the XLR connector and then further distributed locally via the "thru" jack. Alternatively, when the 1/4" phone jack input (12) is used as the input, then the "thru" jack becomes a “bridged” input to it (similar to a Y-cord), again allowing this input signal to be patched to the other input jack on this amplifier or other amps in the system. Additional input modules are available from your authorized Peavey Dealer. Details of these modules and the installation instructions can be secured from this source.

CHANNEL À SPEAKER JACKS THE P1 OUTPUT MODULE (15) The standard output module shipped with each PARALRELED: amplifier is called the P1 MODULE. It offers both dual 1/4" jacks and 5-way binding post speaker outputs for each channel. For each channel, the outputs are in PAUA N parallel, hence the speaker connection cables can be terminated with 1/4" phone plugs, or banana plugs or stripped wires for use in the binding post terminals. For sustained high power applications, the use of the binding post terminals are recommended; however, care must be exercised to assure the correct speaker phasing. The red binding posts are the signal outputs from each channel, and the black binding posts are chassis ground. The red binding post should be connected to the positive inputs of the associated loudspeakers. For bridge mode operation, only the red binding posts are used, and the associated loudspeaker load is connected between the two red binding posts. The red binding post associated with channel À should be considered the positive output for the system and thus should be connected to the positive input of the associated loudspeaker system. 10° FAN LOAD Regardless of what connections are used, the minimum 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 applications due to the fact that the amplifier will run much cooler at this loading. 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 amplifier shut down due to the thermal limits fault circuitry.

This diagram shows the wiring for the P1 MODULE. Note that the module itself is ne upside down. This is the UE desired position when re- connecting this and any other module.

Operating in this manor will allow the air flow from the fans to escape from these openings instead of flowing through the power amp and power supply components, and thereby not provide adequate cooling for these components. Following are several other module rear views of a different module and the various wiring schemes. The diagram above and the ones following are provided so that these modules can be correctly wired. Always double check the wiring. A miswired module can cause severe audio problems, and in the worse case, can cause loudspeaker degradation and failure. In all cases, the color-coded wires are indicated. The double red and yellow wires are the power amp outputs and are not interchangeable. The black wires are the power amp ground connections and are interchangeable. 17 cHaunez » CHaNEz à .THE S1 OUTPUT MODULE (17) BR NENnE at Another output module available for this amplifier can 2e ere 0 pes zu is called the Si MODULE.

The SPEAKON is a four-wire connector With the connections labeled 1+, 1 -,2+, and 2 -. Depending upon the loudspeaker needs, these connections can be used in various ways. The SPEAKON connector is receiving wide acceptance particularly in Europe.

LOW CURRENT STEREO MODE (18) (Option 1) This S1module is shipped wired as follows: lt as the channel signal output and 1 as the channel chassis ground. This is really the defacto standard for most low-to-medium power loudspeaker systems. This Wiring allows one enclosure to be connected to channel À, and one enclosure to be connected to channel B. The 2 tand 2 - connections are simply not used in this application! In this case the 2tand the 2 - spades are used to “store” the jumper cables for later usage.

HIGH CURRENT STEREO MODE (19) (Option 2) Many larger loudspeaker systems use the full capability of the SPEAKON connector by paralleling 1 t and 2+, and paralleling 1 - and 2-, This wiring improves the current handling capability of the system and reduces losses. Most “subs” with SPEAKONS are wired this way. This module can be easily re-wired to this configuration using the supplied jumpers on the rear of the module. Normally four jumpers are plugged in à no- connect configuration for “string”. In this case, one Jumper is connected between 1 tand 2+and another jumper is connected between 1 -and 2 - for each channel. This is a total of CHANNEL E 18 POS NEG CHARHEL À POS HES SRE ER

INSTALLATION AND CONNECTION

The Peavey CS 800$ commercial series power amplifier is designed for durability in commercial installations and the quality of performance required in studio and home applications. The unit is a standard rack-mount configuration, 3 1/2" high and is cooled by two variable speed internal fans. All the input and output connections are on the back panel. The front panel contains LED indicators for power & DDT activation, detented/calibrated sensitivity controls, and a mains power switch,

INDUSTRIAL AND COMMERCIAL INSTALLATIONS

For commercial and other such installations where sustained high powered operation is required, the CS 800$ should be mounted in a standard EIA 19” rack. Itis not necessary to leave rack space between each amplifier in the stack, since the fan pulls air in from the rear and exhausts the hot air out the front. An adequate source of cool air must be provided for the amplifier when rack-mounted. The internal fans must have à source of air that is not preheated by other equipment. If cool, 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 increase the fan speed. Depending upon signal conditions and amp loading, the fan speed may increase to à maximum value, or it may decrease to a minimum value. This situation is quite normal. Inadequate cooling due to preheated air, a reduction of air flow caused by blockage of the amplifiers inlet/outlet ports, or severly overloading the amp may cause the amplifiers thermal sensing system to temporary shut down that particular channel. This will be indicated by the channel power LED on the front panel ceasing to illuminate. Depending upon available cooling air, operation will be restored to that channel relatively quickly, and the power LED will then be illuminated. Corrective action should be taken to determine the cause of the thermal shutdown. If the amplifier is not severely overloaded or shorted, and air flow is normal in and out of the unit, steps should be taken to provide à cooler environment for all the amplifiers. As a general rule, the cooler electronic equipment is operated, the longer its useful service life. STUDIO AND HOME INSTALLATION: In most low-to medium-power applications, the CS 800$ can be mounted in any configuration. It is desirable that, if at all possible, the unit be located at the top of an equipment stack. This will prevent possible overheating of any sensitive equipment by the hot air rising from the power amplifier. As a general rule, most home and studio requirements will never cause maximum high speed fan operation. Ifit 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 800$ will have severe cooling problems, even at low power levels. Again, inadvertent short circuit or sustained overloaded usage could also cause temporary thermal shutdown. Most home wiring and electrical circuits are only 15 amps. Two CS 800$ amplifiers could cause à power panel 15 amp circuit breaker to trip if a severe overload occurs.

BRIDGE MODE: The bridge mode on stereo amplifiers is often misunderstood as to the actual operation and usage. In basic terms, when à two- channel amplifier is operated in bridge mode, it is converted into a single channel unit with a power rating equal to the sum of both channel's power ratings, at à load rating of twice that of the single channel rating. In this case the CS 800$ is rated at 600 W RMS per channel into 2 ohms. The bridge mode ratings are 1,200 W RMS into 4 Ohms (minimum load). The bridge mode operation is accomplished by placing the mode switch into the bridge position, connecting the load between the red binding posts of each channel, and then using channel À as the input channel. AIl channel B input functions are defeated. Another application for bridge mode operation is to drive sound distribution systems in very large public address applications. In this mode, the CS°800X power amplifier can actually drive 70-volt systems directly without using expensive matching transformers. The real advantage of such an approach is primarily cost. 70-volt distribution systems are very common in domestic applications where large numbers of relatively small loudspeakers are used for background music and paging. Such systems require the use of 70-volt transformers at each loudspeaker. Another common use for the bridge mode is in subwoofer applications where very high output power levels are required to reproduce extreme low frequencies. Such enclosures usually contain two or four loudspeakers to handle the high power levels involved. For bridge mode usage, the enclosure impedance must be 4 or 8 ohms; never below 4 ohms! Also make sure the enclosure can handle 1,200 watts reliably. DDT* Peavey's patented DDT" compression system enables the sound man to maximize the performance of the amplifier/speaker combination by preventing the power amp from running out of headroom (clipping). This compression system is activated by a unique circuit that senses signal conditions that might overload the amplifier and reduce the amplifier's gain when clipping is imminent. The threshold of compression is clipping itself and no specific threshold control is used. This technique effectively utilizes every precious watt available for the power amplifier to reproduce the signal while at the same time minimizes clipping and distortion, and thus significantly reduces the potential of loudspeaker degradation and damage. The DDT system is automatic, hands-off approach to the problem of power amplifier clipping. Since the CS 800$ power amplifier uses a circuit breaker for over-current protection, the DDT compression system plays even a more important roll in the continuous performance by preventing each channel from clipping and overloading. Continuous operation at clipping can cause the circuit breaker to trip, but with the DDT activated this problem is minimized. For this reason you should always have the DDT compression system enabled.
