shorted across itself. Remember, just as in the stereo mode, the power LED array (Channel A)
should reach 100% indication before the DDT system is activated on both channels.
The jumper plug in the transformer accessory socket (12) of channel A island can be replaced with a
PL-2 transformer module. This will convert the XLR connector on Island A to balanced operation
and provide a balanced input for the bridged
CS
1000X.
The jumper plug in the crossover accessory socket (14) of the Channel A island can be replaced with
a crossover or other special-purpose plug-in module. As per previous discussion, the associated
bridge power amp input jacks (17) are now isolated, and signals must be patched to this bridge input
to complete the circuit. Obviously, in bridge mode, the
CS
1000X is only a one-channel amp.
Consequently, to biamp, additional power amplifier channels must be available. Again, a word of
caution concerning the power-handling capability of the associated loudspeaker components: Unless
the components are part of an array connected in some series/parallel arrangement to distribute the
power, biamping with the
CS
1000X in bridge mode (1500 watts) should be avoided.
You should notice from Diagram 4 that crossover island B is completely isolated whenever bridge
mode is selected, and it is normally not used. We leave its use to your imagination....

Attention Mr. Service Technician:
If the time should ever come for you to service this power amplifier, it is important that you have the proper
information on unit disassembly in order to gain access to the heat tube itself and all the associated circuitry.
Our Service Department is ready to help you with any additional instructions on the correct service parts.
A
Warning:
There are no user-serviceable parts or functions inside the amplifier. Disassembly should only be attempted
by a qualified Peavey service technician, and only after the amplifier has been disconnected from the mains
power source.
A
Warning:
Voltage levels inside this amplifier could cause severe bodily harm. Always disconnect unit from mains
power source and discharge major electrolytic capacitors before attempting to service. Additionally, the
mains power source is switched by a mains triac, which is controlled by the front panel rocker switch. Mains
power voltage is always present at this
triac
even with the switch off.
