This listing is for a Peavey CS 800S 1200-Watt Stereo Power Amp. It is being sold by the original owner and is in very good working condition. The case has some minor scratches and wear. It comes with a power cord. We have a low opening bid and no reserve price, so don't miss your chance to get a great deal.
Congratulations on your purchase of the CS 800s stereo power amplifier. This latest version is the most advanced ever, using state-of-the-art switching power supply technology to deliver high fidelity and rock solid performance in a tworack-space unit that weighs just under 23 pounds. This new design retains the extended performance capability of the old CS 8OOX, providing impressive two ohm output power capability, and maintaining the old 4 & 8 ohms ratings with awesome industry standards for power bandwidth, slew rate and distortion specifications. The new "S" design also reflects a significant improvement in damping factor specifications.
Following is the new CS 800s specs:
420 W RMS into 4 ohms...600 W RMS into 2 ohms (per channel)
840 W RMS into 8 ohms... 1200 W F/MS into 4 ohms (bridged)
DDP compression with LED indicators and defeat switch
Slew Rate: 40 V/microsecond, stereo mode, each channel
Power Bandwidth: 10 Hz to 50 KHz @ 4 ohms, 8 rated power
Total Harmonic Distortion: Less than 0.03%, 8 rated power
Hum and Noise: 100 dB below rated power, unweighted
Damping Factor: Greater than 7000 8 4 ohms, 700 Hz, each channel
The heavy transformer is replaced by an extremely reliable switching power supply that uses proven half-bridge topology to provide 1,700 watts peak power from a high-efficiency IGBT design. The supply has a thermal monitor system with proportional fold-back which prevents a total shut-down at extreme operating temperatures. The new CS 800s retains the Peavey patented DDT compression system which virtually eliminates any possibility of clipping. The new back panel design now includes plug-in modules for both inputs and outputs offering flexible patching features and various connector choices. Two variable speed DC fans provide tremendous cooling capability upon demand.
