Contents Warranty Your ESP2000 is covered against defects in material and workmanship. Refer to your supplier for more details. Service In the unlikely event that your ESP2000 develops a problem, it must be returned to an authorised distributor, service centre or shipped directly to our factory. Because of the complexity of the design and the risk of electrical shock, all repairs must be attempted only by qualified technical personnel.

Introducing the ESP2000 The ESP2000 is a two channel rack mountable power amplifier. The unit contains two seperate 1000 watt amplifiers, two independent power supplies, (each channel running off each power supply), two signal paths, inputs and outputs as well as limiting and low frequency enhancement on each of the two channels within a two rack unit chassis.
PAGE 5
Rack Mounting The ESP2000 will mount in a standard 19” rack system. Integral rear mounting rack ears are also provided for additional support. It is important that you do not rely on fixing and mounting the ESP2000 using just the front panel as the support. Use eight screws and washers to mount the amplifier to the equipment rack rails, (four for the fronts and four for the rear). We recommend using a shock mounted rack for touring use to prolong the life of your ESP2000.
PAGE 6
It is recommended that the voltage supply be within the rated NOTE voltage window. This ensures that AC voltage variations from the service entry or peak voltage drops due to cable runs - do not cause the amplifier to cycle on and off or cause damage to the power supply. NOTE: NOTE: For best performance, the AC cable voltage drop should not exceed 10 volts, or 10 percent at 115 volts and 5 percent at 230 or 250 volts.
PAGE 7
The burst current is the maximum rms current during a period of approximately one second, used to select the rating of most magnetic breakers and to calculate the peak voltage drop in long AC cables according to the formula: V pk (drop)= I pk x R (cable total) The ultimate short-term peak current is used to select the rating of fast reacting magnetic breakers. Use the table below as a guide when selecting cable gauge size and circuit breaker ratings for your operating voltage.
