Electro-Voice CPS8.5 8-Channel Power Amplifier, 500W

Optimize multi-zone audio and paging with the Electro-Voice CPS8.5 8-channel power amplifier — engineered for reliable, pro-level performance in security, surveillance and AV systems. This 2U rack-mount amplifier provides 500W per channel into 2 or 4 Ω and native 70V/100V direct-drive capability so integrators can power distributed loudspeaker networks and paging lines without extra transformers. The efficient Class-D topology reduces heat and energy use, making it ideal for tightly packed equipment rooms or continuous monitoring environments.

Installers benefit from rear-mounted attenuators and Phoenix-type I/O for fast terminations, while the RCM-810 slot enables IRIS-Net remote control and monitoring to keep systems visible and manageable from a central location. Comprehensive protection features — thermal, overload, short, DC and inrush protections — safeguard equipment and minimize downtime in critical security and surveillance deployments.

Choose the Electro-Voice CPS8.5 for dependable multi-channel amplification in retail, corporate, campus, or security monitoring applications — contact us to configure this amplifier for your installation.
