Peavey CS2000 Power Amps Review

Peavey CS2000 Power Amplifiers are an excellent choice for a band that is playing medium venues, and is ready to upgrade from smaller combo amps, due to their ability to output sound with a great deal of power, and their protective circuitry enabling them to withstand a great deal of abuse. On the other hand, a band that plays very large concert venues may find that a more powerful model, such as the CS3000, would be more suitable as the CS2000 may have difficulty filling a large hall with sound.

The CS2000 is able to send output to the speakers in either mono or stereo, so DJs and house music supervisors will find it as useful as vocalists or instrumentalists. Additionally, the CS2000, normally a dual channel amplifier, is capable of mono bridged operation. In this mode, the two channels of amplification are combined into a single, higher powered amplifier capable of greater volumes. Peavey is known for amplification rife with accurate, uncolored sound, and the CS2000 delivers exactly that at any volume level, producing excellent sound quality, with thundering bass and crisp treble. However, this power can be quickly silenced when necessary. The CS2000 automatically detects when the power has been turned on or off, and mutes the speaker output to prevent jarring pops from being heard.

With this level of power, it is necessary to have protective measures in place to prevent damage to the hardware under less than ideal usage conditions. The CS2000 has protection at every stage, from the input to the speakers. It is equipped with two variable speed fans, keeping a supply of cold intake air blowing over the heat sinks. These fans are able to quickly ramp up in speed if the situation requires, insuring that the components of the amplifier will remain cool. Additionally, protective circuitry is present to ensure that key electronics inside the amplifier are shut off in the event of a sudden power overload. Also, the CS2000 is able to detect when the input sent to the amplifier is distorted, and lower the output volume before it reaches the speakers, preventing damage to them.

The Peavey CS line of power amplifiers has been a mainstay in the music industry for many years. The CS line is built upon Peavey's reputation for providing high quality sound amplification at a reasonable price, and Peavey CS2000 Power Amplifiers are no exception. The Peavey CS2000 is rated for a maximum output of 2150 watts when operating in bridged mono mode, making it suitable for small and medium sized venues.
