K-Series Balanced Current Amplifier™
Thank you for choosing Crown! Mick and his team of enthusi-
astic engineers have worked long hours to craft a totally new
kind of amplifier—the
K-Series. These are the first amplifiers to
incorporate Crown’s patented BCA™ (Balanced Current Am-
plifier™) technology, and we are all very proud to have in-
vented them. Our Balanced Current Amplifier makes use of a
special type of circuitry which allows high levels of power out-
put without all of the associated heat you find in a conventional
amplifier. And that’s very good news for you!
How high is the power output? The K1 amplifier produces an
impressive 1,500 watts and weighs only 32 pounds, while the
K2 produces a whopping 2,500 watts while weighing only 38
pounds; both without using a cooling fan!* Of course, the ab-
sence of a cooling fan means your amp runs quieter (no fan
noise) and cleaner (no need for filters) and requires very little
maintenance (we
thought you’d like that).
* 1,500 watts and 2,500 watts total from both channels (for the K1 and K2
respectively; 750 and 1,250 watts per channel). See the Specifications sec-
tion for details.
