EV Electro Voice CPS2.4 Contractor CPS Power Amp 800 Watt Amplifier

The Electro-Voice CPS2.4 is from the Contractor Precision Series of professional amplifiers. The high efficient Class-H design reduces the power dissipation significantly and allows for more amplifier channels and output power in a given rack space.

The audio performance of the CPS2.4 is state-of-the art and fulfills the highest sound expectations in demanding applications from concert sound to theater. The CPS2.4 features the same complete protection package as all EV Precision Series amplifiers. Protection against: excessive HF, DC fault, high temperature, and Back-EMF as well as turn-on delay, peak current and inrush current limiters. In addition to the rated output power the CPS2.4provides up to 30% percent headroom for a wide dynamic range on music signals. The onboard dynamic limiter ensures that the output clipping of the CPS2.4 will not exceed a THD of 1% up to an input signal of +21dBu. Detented level controls on the rear panel provide precise (1dB-detend) and repeatable settings.

Front panel LEDs indicate signal present, 0 dB, and limit. Female XLRs and Phoenix type connectors for inputs and barrier strips for outputs provide an easy rack wiring. The power on/off function of the CPS2.4 can be remote controlled via a 24V DC source. Optional x-over cards for biamp operation (e.g. a 2-way cinema system) can be retrofitted.
