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 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:

525 W RMS into 4 ohms 750 W RMS into 2 ohms (per channel)

1050 W RMS into 8 ohms 1500 W RMS into 4 ohms (bridged)

compression with LED indicators and defeat switch

Slew Rate: 40 V/microsecond, stereo mode, each channel
Power Bandwidth: 10 Hz to 50

4 ohms, rated power

Total Harmonic Distortion: less than

rated power

Hum and Noise: 100

below rated power, unweighted

All the current features of the previous units have been retained, including Peavey’s patented

com-

pression system and the very flexible back-panel patching capabilities. The two-speed fan cooling system
has been improved to automatically provide additional cooling for the two-ohm load conditions.

FEATURES
