Operation Modes Stereo Operation For stereo (dual channel) operation, turn the amplifier OFF and set the mode select switches to the stereo position. In this mode, the respective channels operate independently of each other, with their input attenuators controlling their respective levels. Thus, a signal at channel 1's input produces an amplified signal at channel 1's output, while a signal at channel 2's input produces an amplified signal at channel 2's output. The same applies to channels 3

Protection Features ® 4 The CS 800x amplifier incorporates several circuits to protect both itself and loudspeakers under virtually any situation. Peavey has made this amplifier as foolproof as possible by making it immune to short and open circuits, mismatched loads, DC voltage and overheating. If a channel goes into the DDT™ gain reduction mode, the DDT LED illuminates. The speaker load remains connected, but clipping percentage or output power is instantly reduced. When a problem occurs t

Protection Features ™ RampUp Signal Control ® 4 Whenever the CS 800x amplifier powers up or comes out of a protect mode, the RampUp circuit activates. While the speakers are disconnected, the RampUp circuit fully attenuates the signal and activates the DDT LED. After the output relay closes, the signal slowly and gradually raises to its set level. The PWR LED will illuminate and the DDT LED will turn off when the signal is no longer attenuated. The RampUp Signal Control circuit has some impor
