Peavey CS 1800G User Manual

Peavey Electronics is proud to announce the introduction of a new line of exciting Professional Power Ampli-

fiers. The new CS-G series is the result of years of research development into a smaller, lighter, compact and more
powerful amplifier. These units operate much more efficiently than contemporary power amp designs, requiring less
current from the mains power plug, producing far less heating. This new technology allows the

to reliably

produce more than 1800 W RMS into 4 ohms (Bridge Mode) in a two rack space unit, at extremely low distortion
levels.

These new designs use a new class of operation called “Class

This class uses two levels of power supply

“rails,” but switches between the rails faster and at lower distortion levels than does a typical Class G design. This unit
then combines higher efficiency and lower distortion, and together with our all new Non-saturating Series Single
Emitter Resistor topology (NSSER), provides awesome performance levels with full power 20

distortion below

and with slew rates greater than 40

This technology is called “Dynamic Logic” and is covered by a

U.S. Patent (Pending).

The following is the new CS 1800G specs:

600 W RMS into 4 ohms; 900 W RMS into 2 ohms, per channel

1200 W RMS into 8 ohms; 1800 W RMS into 4 ohms (Bridge mode)

Slew Rate: 40 V/microsecond, stereo mode, each channel
Frequency Response: 20 Hz to 20

f0.2

at rated power

Total Harmonic Distortion: Less than

at rated power

Hum and Noise: 100

below rated power, unweighted

The unit is attractively packaged in a rugged, rack-mountable configuration requiring only two rack spaces.

Naturally it has Peavey’s patented DDT

Compression Circuitry, and has a very flexible back panel. The design uses

dual two speed fan cooling to provide all the cooling necessary for the two ohm load conditions.
