If you've spent any time at all in professional audio, you know the name Crown and what it stands for—incredible performance and sound, the ultimate in reliability under harsh conditions and the best support in the business. These are just a few of the reasons why the world's biggest tours and most prestigious installations have Crown amps in their racks. And now, with the introduction of the new CE Series, Crown is bringing what sets thier professional amplifiers apart from all others to a very affordable price range.

K Series amplifiers deliver more power and sound while using less energy than conventional amplifiers. And it’s all in a durable, maintenance-free package that’s just two rack spaces high.

Using patented Balanced Current Amplifier (BCA®) circuitry, K Series amplifiers give you massive amounts of power while generating just one-tenth the heat of conventional amplifiers. In fact, the powerful K2 amplifier can deliver an amazing 1,250 watts per channel into 2 ohms (and that’s a very solid 2 ohms)! 

It’s hard to please every crowd. But you’ll have a better chance when you use a Crown Power-Tech .1 Series amplifier. Musicians and DJs alike demand a lot from their systems —clean, punchy sound; reliability; ruggedness; smaller size; less weight—all at a reasonable price. And Crown PT .1s bring these benefits and much more to the table.

Of the Com-Tech® Series, Crown's CTs Series offers new flexibility and value for installed sound applications. The Com-Tech Series were the first to offer independent selection of high- and low-impedance operation for a specific channel, and CTs Series amplifiers continue that tradition, with power levels and features carefully chosen to perfectly integrate into fixed install design requirements.

The D-45 and D-75A are the latest D Series amplifiers and are perfect for moderate power applications such as recording or broadcast studio near-field monitoring, video suite audio monitoring, a recording/broadcast headphone amp or a small paging system. Crown's AB+B circuitry ensures efficient use of output transistors while incorporating protection against shorted, open, mismatched or low-impedance loads.

Designed, built and carefully checked to ensure reliable operation with a wide variety of loads, Crown D Series amplifiers are convection cooled. Their high reliability is particularly important in reducing maintenance costs.

CH SERIES DRIVES MULTIPLE IMPEDANCES
• CH Series provides for both low impedance or high impedance outputs per channel.
• Each channel offers 4/8 ohm, 70V and100V operation on CH1 and CH2, and 4/8 ohm and 70V on CH4.
• Loads can be mismatched, allowing for independent operation per channel.

CH SERIES INCLUDES HPF PER CHANNEL
• All CH Series include a 70 Hz High Pass Filter per channel, providing necessary low frequency roll off to eliminate saturation of constant voltage step down transformers typically used in 70V and 100V distributed systems.

SHALLOW CHASSIS DESIGN
• The CH 1, CH 2, and CL 1, and CL 2 use shallow chassis’, allowing for installation in most wall-mount equipment racks.

SECURITY
• Rear panel level controls for secure operation.
• Precision detented level controls allow for accurate level settings in many fixed installation applications.

and more stuff...!!

Crown delivers three models (CH1, CH2 and CH4) designed for both low and high impedance outputs per channel. With the CH1 and CH2, each channel is independently capable of 4/8 ohm, 70V or 100V operation. Each channel of the CH4 is independently capable of 4/8 ohm or 70V operation.

Three additional models (CL1, CL2 and CL4) offer low impedance compatibility for applications where high power, low impedance loads are the primary requirement. The CL Series models provide 2, 4 and 8 ohm options per channel. The powerful and flexible CH Series amplifiers also include 70 Hz High Pass Filters on each channel, giving your customers the necessary low-frequency roll-off to eliminate saturation of constant-voltage step down transformers typically used in 70Vand 100V distributed systems.

The Crown Macro-Tech 02 Series amps are enchanced versions of the Macro-Tech line. They offer the same features and performance of the original Macro-Techs while delivering key added benefits that continue to expand the versatility of this distinct product line. Here are a few examples:

• Enhanced PIP2(TM) (Programmable Input Processor) connector accepts new accessory modules that tailor the amplifier for specific applications.
• Balanced XLR and 1/4-inch phone jacks for each channel on the standard PIP-FXQ module..
• Full Protection from shorted, open and mismatched loads, general over-heating, DC, high-frequency overloads, and full internal fault protection are provided by our latest protection scheme: "Quad-Mute."

Unique Macro-Tech 24x6 and 36x12 provide practical solutions to biamplified system applications such as stage monitors. Each amp features a high- and medium-power channel in a single, low-profile unit. Both amps have separate power supplies which allow each channel to be treated as its own amplifier. Providing tremendous power to your bass cabinets, channel 1 of the Macro-Tech 24x6 has the same power and specifications as our Macro-Tech 2402, while the Macro-Tech 36x12 has the same power as our Macro-Tech 3600VZ. Channel 2 of each amp drives horns and other high-frequency transducers with the power of the Macro-Tech 602 and 1202 respectively.

Crown's first touring workhorse, the Micro-Tech Series, delivers industry standard performance and reliability.

Able to drive low-impedance loads with ease, Micro-Tech amplifiers feature three separate power supplies for exceptional reliability and impressive power ratings. Our patented ODEP circuitry keeps the amplifier working long after others would quit. Grounded bridge circuitry doubles the available voltage without placing output transistors in stressful configurations like other more conventional amplifiers. The unique forced-air cooling system makes certain heat is dissipated quickly and evenly. As a result, you get maximum performance without the threat of damage to the amplifier or other system components.

Engineered for the critical demands of recording studios, the Studio Reference Series amplifiers are more than a new benchmark for precision amplifiers. They're an investment in long-term performance that anticipates and achieves the next step in professional audio demanded by studios and serious audiophiles.

Featuring an extremely wide dynamic range capable of accurately reproducing digital recordings, combined with super low harmonic and intermodulation distortion, these amps provide the best transfer function in the business. They also feature a damping factor of better than 20,000 for absolute speaker control with a tight, well-defined low end.

Sonic accuracy is just one of the advantages of the Studio Reference. Patented ODEP circuits detect and compensate for any demanding load condition, while PIP expansion permits easy customization with add-on electronics.
