CPS 8.5
The CPS8.5 is an eight-channel amplifier from Electro-Voice featuring groundbreaking Class-D technology for maximum amp efficiency and minimized heat dissipation in 19-inch racks.Each channel individually provides transformer-less, switchable output characteristics, which enable specific channels to achieve maximum performance.  Power into 2 Ohms, 4 Ohms, 70V or 100V lines are all possible, and no transformer is required.  In Hi-Z operation (70V or 100V), a 50 Hz high-pass filter provides protection against loudspeaker transformer saturation.  Additionally, amplifier channels can be bridged in pairs for double output power.The contractor-friendly CPS8.5 also features Phoenix-type connectors for inputs and outputs, pre-programmable power-on delay, easy power switching via remote contact closure, and real panel attenuators.A module slot for the optional RCM-810 remote control module provides control network functionality, allowing for remote system diagnostics via IRIS-Net software.  In addition, using the RCM-810's Variable Load Drive (VLD) feature can tailor the amplifier's output power to match every load from 2 Ohms up to 10 Ohms in steps of 0.1 Ohms.

RCM-810 Card
The RCM-810 Remote Control Module is an optional module for supervision and remote control of power amplifiers. RCM-810 modules allow the amplifiers to be integrated into a remote control network with up to 100 devices. Up to 250 amplifiers can be used in an IRIS-Net project when multiple networks are used. Apart from the network port, the RCM-810 also offers freely programmable control inputs and control outputs.The RCM-810 modules allows IRIS-Net to configure, control and monitor a complete PA-system from a single or from several PCs. Any operational statuses such as power-on, temperature, activation of protections, deviation of the output impedance, etc., are centrally recorded and displayed, which offers the opportunity to react and correct the problem even before the occurrence of critical operational states. All parameters, such as power-on/off, mute etc. are controlled in real-time and can be stored in any power amplifier. Monitoring the connected loudspeaker systems is performed by continuously measuring output currents and voltages of individual power amplifier channels. Each exceeding or falling short of set thresholds is instantly signaled and logged. In this way,short-circuits or line interruptions, as they might occur during normal operation, are recognized and displayed immediately.Furthermore, the RCM-810 provides a control port with freely programmable control inputs and control outputs. Control inputs (GPI's) allow the connection of switches. IRIS-Net offers the possibility to program a variety of logic functions for the inputs. Control outputs (GPO's) allow the connection of external components, which, for example, are used to signal specific states to peripheral equipment. Additionally, the RCM-810 allows access to and configuration of the VLD (Variable Load Drive) feature in the multichannel CPS4.5, CPS4.10 and CPS8.5 amplifiers, which allow the user to tailor the amplifier’soutput power to match every load from 2 Ohms up to 10 Ohms insteps of 0.1 Ohms.
