Product Description
The Crown I-Tech HD Series offers amazing power, light weight and ease of use for touring sound applications. Unlike other amplifiers, it includes on-board high-definition DSP, an LCD control screen and a built-in network connection. Modern power amplifiers are sophisticated pieces of engineering capable of producing extremely high power levels. They must be treated with respect and correctly installed if they are to provide the many years of reliable service for which they were designed. In addition, I-Tech Series amplifiers include a number of features which require some explanation before they can be used to their maximum advantage.
Features:
Global power supply with PFC (power factor correction) works anywhere in the world
High power density, up to 8000 watts in a 2u chassis
Highest output voltage in the industry (200V peak) provides clean transient peaks
Third-generation patented Class I (BCA®) circuitry couples power efficiently to the load and provides low AC current draw
On-board high-definition DSP with 24 bit/192 kHz Cirrus Logic SHARC A/D and D/A converters - advanced IIR filters and linear-phase FIR filters
Push-button presets simplify setup. Custom presets for various loudspeakers can be down loaded
AES/EBU digital audio input
EtherCon® Ethernet con nector for HiQnet™ control or CobraNet digital audio transport - “single plug” connection allows HiQnet protocol and CobraNet digital audio through the same CAT 5 cable
Analog and digital thru connectors
LCD Control Screen is used to adjust the amplifier’s attenuation and muting, configure the amp, set up and view error monitoring, and recall DSP presets to reconfigure the amp for various applications
Comprehensive array of indicators provide accurate diagnostics: power, data, along with ready, signal, clip, thermal and fault for each channel
AC mains indicator in power switch glows green when AC power is present
Front-panel USB connector accepts a USB drive to transfer presets from the drive to the amplifier DSP, and vice-versa
Light weight due to aluminum chassis, special internal construction and switching power supply
Thermal management controller and two discrete thermal zones with variable-speed fans, forced-air cooling
Advanced protection circuitry guards against: shorted outputs, DC, mismatched loads, general overheating, under/over volt age, high-frequency overloads and internal faults
Three-year, no-fault, fully transferable warranty completely protects your investment and guarantees its specifications
