 Topic: Peavey CS6000Posted: 30 December 2019 at 9:12pm |

It seems Peavey have made a new CS6000 transformer amp weighing 32kg with what seems to be bloody big transformers. Does anyone know anything about these? Are Peavey back on form with an amp finally as good as the old CS1200x and CS1000x amps?
 Here's the manual : https://assets.peavey.com/literature/manuals/119046_36445.pdf

Sorry for the bad image quality by the way it's the only picture I could find of it.

For what I know, these exist for about 15 years or so, but only available in a small number of countries. Makes no sense to me...
Where you got that info/picture from ? Could it be from an Asian fair or something ? |

I thought i'd browse the Peavey website and saw the CS4000 and CS6000 but i've not seen them before on the site, I looked a few months ago just browsing. I occasionally browse speaker manufacturer websites.

Looking at the spec. manual....dated at the bottom 2006, wierd they put it in the retro 70's CS case...im betting it has plastic output devices rather than the mj15024/25 TO3's of the earlier amps.

That's because they weren't there before, but they existed for many years and were available in some Asian countries. |

the old CS range date from the US-built era, and that amp is rather chinese-looking. Just sayin

Nearly everything is made in China nowadays, what makes it good or bad is quality control as you obviously know. Plus there are many Chinese amps that are great amps I think, it doesn't matter anyway because that amp isn't sold anywhere in the UK i've Googled it and not one place I can see. So I think it's probably an Asia only Peavey amp much in the same way Wharfedale's Focus series are America only and their WLA series is as far as I can tell Asia only.

this isn't about chinese vs american build quality, that's not my point and it's already been argued to death on this and every other forum. What I'm saying is, is it a genuine peavey product or not? The CS4000 is normally in a 2u case, based on a crest design AFAIK.
The internal pic of that 'CS6000' appears to have a copy of a QSC RMX4050 inside it. Edited by kedwardsleisure - 01 January 2020 at 11:44pm |

Yup,i agree Kevin, that whole rear heatsink and clumps of capacitors mounted on the PCB shouts Chinese to me, none of the american Peaveys had anything like that. Yup,looks like a Qsc clone in a retro case.
Very odd. |
