Multiplex 1100 power amplifier

The power amplifier shall have two channels.
Each channel shall deliver a minimum of
300

W

at 8

, 550

W

at 4

, 20

Hz

–20

kHz

,

<0.1%

. In bridged-mono mode, it shall

deliver 1000

W

at 8

, 20

Hz

–20

kHz

, <0.1%

THD+N

. The amplifier shall be front-to-side tun-

nel-cooled, with one 110 

CFM AC

fans.

The amplifier shall have circuitry to protect itself
and the speaker load from output short circuits,

DC 

voltage on outputs, and thermal overload.

The amplifier shall include circuitry to gradually
increase gain to attenuator setting levels when
the amplifier is turned on, and circuitry for
impedance sensing and clip limiting.

The amplifier shall have a voltage gain of

X

46.6 with an input sensitivity of 1.0

V,

for

rated power at 8

. The hum and noise level

shall be greater than 105

dB

below rated out-

put, A-weighted. 

SMPTE IMD

shall be less than

0.1%, rated power at 8

. The amplifier shall

have a class AB output. The frequency
response shall be greater than 20

Hz

–20

kHz

,

+0/-0.3

dB (1W/8Ω)

.

The amplifier shall operate at 100–240

VAC

,

50–60

Hz

(configured at factory). Maximum

current draw shall not exceed 18

A

at 120

VAC

,

(circuit breaker limited), with both channels dri-
ving continuously into a 4

resistor.

The amplifier front-panel shall include 

ACL

SIGNAL

PROTECT

LED 

indicators for each chan-

nel and a combination power switch/magnet-
ic circuit breaker, and recessed and detented
gain pots.

Rear panel input connectors shall be TRS type,
one male and one female per channel. A rear-
panel 

AC 

mains cord having an appropriate

AC 

plug for the intended operating voltage

shall be provided (market dependent).

The packaging of the amplifier shall allow for
standard rack mounting without requiring
space between similar units. Dimensions shall
be 19" 

(483mm)

wide, 5.25" 

(133mm)

high and

13.33" 

(339mm)

deep. It shall weigh 43

lbs.

(19.5kg)

net. The amplifier shall be designated

the Crest Audio Model Multiplex 1100.
