Overview |
The transmission qualities of CP-Series
power amps are simply extraordinary. The new switching power supply
technology, completely designed from scratch and the consistent use of
Class-H technology provide extensive headroom far above the stated
nominal output and conspicuous reduction in leakage power at the same
time. The employed switching power supply combines the headroomadvantage
of a transformer power amplifier with low weight of a pulsed power
supply unit resulting in an improved performance-to-weight ratio.
Special attention had been given to high effi ciency and interference
immunity already in the designing stage with the result that
trouble-free operation of CP-Series power amps is possible even in
EMV-critical environments.
The power amplification stages of the CP3000S follow Class-H technology
design, i.e. the power amp provides extremely fast, signal-dependent
operating voltage switching, which, at the time needed, results in
doubling the regular supply voltage. Compared to Class-AB power amps,
Class-H power amps generate by far less leakage power at identical
output. Consequently, reduced leakage power or dissipation is synonymous
to less waste heat. In other words: energy is used more effi ciently! As
a result, installing Class-H power amps within rack shelf systems or
cabinets is possible with less space between appliances. In addition to
that and despite offering identical output, power consumption is a lot
less than in Class-AB operation.
Being protected against thermal and electrical overload, short circuit
and the occurrence of HF/DC at the outputs, Electro-Voice CP-SERIES
power amps fulfi ll even the most demanding requirements of Pro-Audio
touring applications. Back-EMF-Protection eliminates the risk of the
output transistors being damaged by electrical energy back-feed. The
power outputs are switched via relay with a time delay during soft-start
and an inrush current limiter additionally prevents mains fuses from
blowing. Mechanical construction and workmanship also comply with the
highest precision manufacturing standards. The robust chassis is
extremely rigid which makes it especially suitable for wearing touring
applications. Two three-speed high performance fans (off/slow/fast)
guarantee outstanding thermal stability at absolute low running noise.
Front-to-rear ventilation allows trouble-free operation even in smaller
amp-racks. The electronically balanced inputs are carried out via
XLRtype connectors. Direct-Outs for through connecting the audio signal
are also provided via XLRM-type connectors. Input Routing allows
selecting DUAL (stereo) or PARALLEL (monaural) operation mode. By means
of the separate BRIDGED OUT-connector and a Bridged Modeswitch,
switching to “Mono Bridged” operation is truly uncomplicated as well.
The recessed mounted dB-scaled level controls ensure reliable protection
against mechanical damage. These particularly precise, secure to operate
detent-potentiometers are located on the front panel. CP-Series power
amps provide the opportunity for retrofi tting an internal analogue
signal processor board with x-over and fi lter functions. The easily
readable LED display provides a quick overview of the power amp’s
current operational status. The power outputs CHANNEL A, CHANNEL B and
BRIDGED OUT are carried out as extremely durable SPEAKON-type
connectors. Also located on the rear panel is a Groundlift
switch, which, when needed, helps eliminating ground-noise loops by
separating the power amp’s enclosure from the circuit ground. In normal
operation, all CP-Series power amps are capable of driving loads as low
as 2ohms. In Mono-Bridged mode the allowable minimum load is 4ohms. |
