EAW CAZ800 User manual

Part No. SW0176 Rev. D 01/08
DESCRIPTION
The CAZ800 is designed for continuous duty in speech, music,
paging, and sound reinforcement applications demanding high
performance, exible features, and rugged dependability.
The CAZ800 is rated at a continuous output of 205 watts per
channel into 8 ohms, 300 watts per channel into 4 ohms, and 480
watts per channel into 2 ohms. In bridge mode, the CAZ800 is rated
at 560 watts into 8 ohms and 800 watts into 4 ohms.
A switchable low-cut lter eliminates low-frequency energy below
30 Hz for tighter bass response, and a switchable limiter protects
loudspeakers from spurious transients and hard clipping.
Inputs are balanced/unbalanced 1/4" TRS and XLR line input jacks
for each channel, as well as screw terminal connections for the two
discrete, actively balanced inputs.
Speaker connections are made with screw-terminals for Channel A,
Channel B, and Bridged Mono. Front panel detented gain controls
provide independent level-setting for each channel. Signal present
and overload LEDs, located above each gain control, provide visual
feedback for monitoring the output signal level.
The CAZ800 has one variable speed fan in the back to keep it cool
no matter how hard it is driven. As the power output increases, the
fan speed increases to move more cool air through the chassis and
away from the internal heatsink and power transistors, increasing
the life span of the amplier.
Five year warranty.
