Description
The Peavey CS 3000 carries forward the legacy of the CS 800 with a modern, rack-efficient package built to push serious SPL without babysitting the amp all night. This is the amp you reach for when a rider calls for headroom, reliability, and a control room that doesn’t turn into a sauna.
- 1550 watts RMS per channel at 2 ohms for demanding low-impedance loads
- 1065 watts RMS per channel at 4 ohms
- 650 watts per channel at 8 ohms for full-range or monitor duty
- 3100 watts bridged at 4 ohms when you need to drive a single high-power cabinet or sub
- DDT compression/anti-clipping circuitry protects drivers from overdrive damage without you having to constantly ride the gain
- Dual temperature-dependent variable-speed fans keep thermal output in check on long shows without needless fan noise at idle
- 2-rack-space chassis keeps your amp rack compact and road-case friendly
- Backed by Peavey’s 5-year warranty for long-term peace of mind
Whether you’re stacking channels for a distributed FOH system, running monitor wedges, or filling out a subwoofer rig, the CS 3000’s power scaling across 2, 4, and 8 ohm loads gives system techs flexibility to match cabinets without overbuying watts. It’s a straightforward, no-nonsense amp that prioritizes uptime over flash — exactly what you want bolted into a rack that has to work every weekend.
Unpacked weight sits at 41 lbs (18.6 kg), with a packed weight of 46 lbs (20.9 kg) and packed dimensions of 6″ W x 22.5″ H x 21″ D — sized for standard touring cases and amp racks.
