Introduction
Operating Precautions
Make sure the mains voltage is correct and the same as that printed on the rear of the amplifier. Damage caused by
connecting the amplifier to improper AC voltage is not covered by any CS
section for more information on voltage requirements.
Note: Always turn off and disconnect the amplifier from mains voltage before making audio connections. Also, as an
extra precaution, have the attenuators turned down during power-up.
Before powering up, turn the attenuator controls down to prevent speaker damage if there is a high signal level at the
inputs. Always use high-quality input and speaker cables to ensure trouble-free operation. Most intermittent problems
are caused by faulty cables.
Consult the Wire Gauge Charts (page 9) to determine proper gauges for differing load impedances and cable lengths.
Cable resistance robs amplifier power in two ways: power lost directly to resistance (I
impedance of the load presented to the amplifier, thereby decreasing the power demanded of the amplifier.
Connecting Inputs
Input connections are made via the three-pin XLR (pin 2+) or 6.3 mm plug "combi" connectors on the rear panel of the
amplifier. The inputs are actively balanced and the overload point is high enough to accept the maximum output level
of virtually any signal source.

Connecting Power
CS Series amplifier power requirements are rated at 1/8 power (typical music conditions) and 1/3 power (extreme
music conditions). The maximum power current draw rating is limited only by the front panel circuit breaker. Consult
the specifications in the Appendices section for figures on the current that each amplifier will demand. Unless
otherwise specified when ordered, Peavey amplifiers shipped to customers are configured as follows:

Note: Always turn off and disconnect the amplifier from mains voltage before making audio connections. As an extra
precaution, have the attenuators turned down while powering up.
