Quick Question about CS 4080hz

Post by DJ Nightmare » Wed Oct 29, 2014 9:35 am

Is it possible to run this amp Bridged into one of the speakon connectors on the amp? I am thinking the answer is no only possible using the binding post, just want to confirm this

And another quick question

Is it possible to daisy chain a CS4000 when inputing a stereo signal?

I read your manual. No to the 1st question and No to the 2nd.

I'm no expert and I didn't sleep at a Holiday Inn. But I did read your manual. :) You can actually run two amps by using a Y/ XLR cable. The single part of the Y would be from the sound source then the Y part would go to each amps XLR input. You can do this for both sides. I do.

Update and a Whoops.
I did find out that there is a switch to do a parallel input for the CS4000. In this way you could use one amp for each side of a stack just using one input on each amp for stereo use.. I did think that you wanted to jump from one amp to the other using both sides of the amp though. Hence a Y cable.

The CS4080 can only be bridged into a 8 ohm load..... do not bridge into 4 ohm.

If you want to run a double 18" sub like a SP, QW or VR218 sub from a single amp, you can use a NL4 speakon into channel A output with amp set to parallel. Use 4 core cable to sub.... make sure sub is wired with individual paired wires to each woofer.

The channel A output is on +1 and -1... channel B output is on +2 and -2 of the speakon output

In my case I get 1250W at 8 ohm from channel A into each woofer of my QW218s
