1 Introduction Introduction 1 Welcome Thank you for choosing the Yamaha CP2000 Power Amplifier. Based on a new improved version of Yamaha's EEEngine amplifier technology, the CP2000 is a versatile two-channel power amplifier, offering high-power, superb sonic performance, and reliability, all backed by the Yamaha tradition of excellence in professional audio. CP2000 key features include • 650 W+650 W into 4Ω stereo, 450 W+450 W into 8Ω stereo. • 2,000 W into 4Ω bridged, 1,300 W into 8Ω bridged. • Yamaha Speaker Processing matches the CP2000 to the Yamaha S115 and S112 loud- speakers. • Three operating modes are provided: STEREO mode in which Channel L and Channel R operate independently, PARALLEL mode in which the channels operate independently but are both fed from the Channel L inputs, and BRIDGE mode in which both channels are combined to form a massive 2000 watt single-channel amplifier. • Improved EEEngine technology using MOSFET output devices. • Compared to conventional designs, EEEngine's energy saving capabilities reduce power consumption by up to 50% and cut heat generation by up to 35%. • Built-in limiter prevents excessive output signal distortion, protecting both speakers and eardrums. • Electronically balanced XLR-type and 1/4" phone jack input connectors. • 5-way binding posts and 1/4" phone jack output connectors. • Signal and CLIP indicators on each channel provide signal presence and clip warning. • Relay-based protection system protects both amplifier and speakers if heatsink overheating occurs or a DC offset is detected at the outputs. • TEMP indicator warns of heatsink overheating. • Variable-speed low-noise fan regulates the system temperature even under the most demanding conditions. While the CP2000 is idle, the fan stops for silent operation. CP2000-Owner's Manual
