A Intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated “dangerous voltage” within the product’s enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to persons.
A 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.
DDTTM ACTIVE LEDs (1) The DDTTM active LEDs indicate when compression is taking place. As long as gain reduction is occurring, the LED will continue to light, thereby giving a valuable indication of this unique compression function.
conditions. Next to each ladder the calibration is “dB below full power.” This is a convenient scale that indicates the amount of power amp headroom left for any signal condition. INPUT SENSITIVITY CONTROLS (4) The CS 1000X features a 31 detent, calibrated sensitivity control for each channel.
Never break off the ground pin on the CS 1000X or any amplifier. The use of extension cords should be avoided, but if essential, always use a three-wire type with at least a #14 AWG wire size. The use of lighter wire will severely limit the power capability of this amplifier.
LOW-Z INPUTS (11) Conventional three-pin, female XLR input jacks are provided, which can be used as either the channel inputs or the crossover inputs, depending upon what has been plugged into the crossover socket (14). Fur- ther, this XLR input is balanced or unbalanced, depending upon what is plugged into the transformer socket (12).
SPEAKER OUTPUTS (18) (19) Two l/4” jacks and 5-way binding post speaker output terminals are provided for each channel, with all the outputs from each channel in parallel. Thus, the loudspeaker connection cables can be terminated with l/4” phone plugs, banana plugs, or stripped wires for use in the binding post terminals.
PORTABLE RACK-MOUNT APPLICATIONS Due to the weight of the CS 1000X, we highly recommend that some additional support be provided at the back panel of the amplifier whenever units are installed in a portable rack-mount configuration. Two l/4-20 allen-head bolts have been provided at the rear of the CS 1000X for this purpose.
signal levels beyond this point will not produce any significant increase in output and may cause distortion problems. MODES OF OPERATION 1. STEREO MODE (UNBALANCED INPUTS) The CS 1000X is shipped from the factory with jumper plugs inserted in the transformer (12) and crossover (14) accessory sockets.

each crossover having a balanced input (1 l), dual (parallel) unbalanced inputs (13), an unbalanced low output (15), and an unbalanced high output (16). In order to complete the system, external patching must be accomplished between the low and high crossover outputs and the various power amp inputs using shielded patch cords.
associated loudspeaker components. To help prevent this, whenever the bridge mode is selected, the standby (“0”) LED and the LED array itself on Channel B is defeated (off), just as if there was some kind of a fault condition present on Channel B.
Often studio engineers feel the need to defeat the DDT compressor, for fear it might color the sound in studio listening. The DDT compressor is only activated when clipping is imminent.
The term headroom deserves some consideration. Program material (music or speech) is made up of many different frequencies and their harmonics. Most music, especially contemporary rock music, is bass-heavy. That is, the low-frequency material contains much more energy than the high-frequency material.
5. unbalanced), the crossover input jacks (13) can be used to patch out full-range signals to other amplifier/speaker systems that are operating in full range or other biamped systems that require different crossovers. Care must be taken never to remove or replace a crossover module with the CS 1000X power switch on.

The jumper plug in the transformer accessory socket (12) of channel A island can be replaced with a PL-2 transformer module.
