The CS800X4 can provide an all-in-one solution for a band that is just beginning to enter the world of touring. For a band that is on a budget, purchasing all of the equipment required can be a daunting prospect: the standard equipment, aside from the amplifier, can include speakers, cables, a mixing board, and more. Peavey CS800X4 Power Amplifiers can ease the transition from small to medium venues by providing a single amplifier that all of the musicians in a band can use, thanks to its powerful four channel output. However, for bands that play in larger venues or often perform outdoors, the CS800X4 may not have enough power. In this situation, a more powerful amplifier such as the Peavey CS3000 or CS4000 may be desired.

The CS800X4 is unique in the industry in that it is able to output sound through a maximum of four channels, while the other amplifiers in the CS line can output to a maximum of two channels. This allows up to two stereo inputs, or four mono inputs, with the same amplifier. Combined with a capable engineer operating a mixing board at the front of the house, this means that the CS800X4 can provide the amplification for an entire band as long as the size of the concert venue is appropriate. With proper speakers, the Peavey CS800X4 is capable of amplifying sound while maintaining the most exacting standards of audio fidelity. Musicians have praised its ability to produce accurate sound, free from coloring and overly exaggerated highs or lows.

If any of those instruments should ever overload the CS800X4 to the point where it could cause speaker clipping, Peavey's unique DDT (Distortion Detection Technique) technology will automatically engage, lowering the volume to a safe level and notifying the musician with an LED. Protection from power spikes and heat damage are also concerns, and the CS800X4 provides safety measures for both. If any amplification channel becomes overly hot due to restricted airflow or a problem with the concert venue, that channel will disengage and the CS800X4's internal fans will run at full speed until the issue is corrected.

Since 1965, Peavey has been supplying discerning musicians with the most powerful, accurate, and durable amplification in the industry. In the 1970s, Peavey dominated the field with its CS series of power amplifiers, and its Peavey CS800X4 Power Amplifiers continue this tradition for today's musicians. The CS800X4 is able to operate with a maximum rated power output of 825 watts in mono bridged mode, making it suitable for use in nearly any small or medium sized concert venue.
