In addition to being able to provide mono amplification for instruments and vocals, the Peavey CS4000 is also able to output in stereo, making it suitable for house music and DJs. Peavey is known for pure, uncolored sound, and the CS4000 provides what musicians have come to expect: bass that pounds without sounding flabby, and highs that are crisp but never shrill. The Peavey CS series has been the workhorse of performing musicians for decades, and the sound quality of the CS4000 rivals that of many studio amplifiers.

While Peavey CS4000 Power Amplifiers are the ideal choice for a band or artist that plays very large or outdoor venues, musicians playing small to medium halls and clubs would be happier with the slightly lower powered CS3000, or with one of Peavey's many combo amplifiers, depending on the size of the venue.

With an amplifier that can produce more than 4000 watts of power, safety becomes a concern. For this reason, Peavey has outfitted the CS4000 with several safety measures. To prevent overheating under harsh stage conditions that can include bright lights or sun and little air conditioning, the CS4000 has internal heat sinks and variable speed fans. If a channel is ever in danger of overheating, it will automatically switch off, and that channel's fan will spin at full speed until normal operation can be restored. Meanwhile, the other channel will continue to operate. If there is ever an electrical issue that could damage the amplifier, it will detect the impending damage the shut off. Even more appealingly for concert situations, if the input volume going into the amplifier is too high, it will automatically limit the output to the speakers to prevent a blow out. When the volume is being limited, an LED on the front of the amplifier will switch on to warn the user. Finally, to prevent a loud pop, the amplifier will automatically mute output when the power button is switched off.

In its nearly 45 years of existence, Peavey has built a reputation for its amplifiers on three main selling points: clean sound, durability, and loudness. With its Peavey CS4000 Power Amplifiers, this standard of excellence has been raised to a new level. In bridged mono mode, the Peavey CS4000 is capable of a maximum output of 4000 watts. This puts the amplifier firmly into the territory of being the ideal hardware for very large or outdoor concert venues, where it can supply more than enough amplification power necessary to supply clear sound to the very back rows.
