The CPS Series are high-performance amplifiers with
unmatched dynamic range capability, ensuring the most reli-
able operation favor
ed by sound contractors in all sound
reinforcement applications.
The CPS Series achieves its outstanding dynamic range
through the use of our unique nonlinear signal monitor. This
feature limits amplifier distortion to less than 1 percent, eli-
minating the "hard-edged" clipping which can destroy most
speaker systems. The amplifier
’s power supply is specifically
designed to deliver high peak signals, proving a burst signal
output capability headroom more than 30% over their aver-
age continuous rating.
CPS 1
The CPS1 can deliver up to 450 watts of power at 1kHz into 4
ohms. The CPS 1 has been extremely popular in smaller venues
such as houses of worship, retail spaces, and entertainment
venues where background or foreground music is needed.
CPS 2
The CPS2 incorporates all the advanced features of the CPS1
but can deliver up to 600 watts of power at 1kHz into 4 ohms.
CPS 2.4
The CPS2.4 is ideal for smaller full-range systems or larger
mid/high frequency amplification in larger installations. The
CPS2.4 is an ideal companion to the popular EVID line of
premium surface-mount and ceiling speaker systems.
CPS 2.6
The workhorse of the line. Its 600 watts of compact power
is perfect for mid-level full range installs.
CPS 2.8
At 800 watts per channel the CPS2.8 is the best value in the
line. It can power a wide range of speaker cabinets either in
multi-way or full-range modes for a large range of fixed
installation jobs
.
CPS 2.11
No power amplifier on the market can offer such a high level of
power performance and reliability. At 1100 watts/channel the
CPS2.11 can power large stadium, theater, and auditorium
type installations with ease.

CPS2T
The CPS2T offers all the performance of the CPS2 and adds
the capability of 70v/100v constant voltage operation. It
also features Transformer Saturation Protection (TSP),
which monitors the current demands of the 70v/100v
matching transformer and can protect against overload and
distortion. The exceptional reliability and performance of
the CPS2T has made it the amplifier of choice for a wide
variety of distributed audio installations such as convention
centers, factories, warehouses, stadiums, office buildings,
and the like. Anywhere large amounts of reliable 70v ampli-
fier power is needed, the CPS2T can meet the spec easily.
