Integrated Networking

IQ

®

Network provides the most powerful amplifier 

control and monitoring available, and it’s tightly 
integrated into I-Tech. I-Tech amps connect directly 
to IQ Networks, providing Crown’s legendary IQ control over 
industry-standard Ethernet hardware. Using mature, off-the-shelf 
technology, Crown’s TCP/IQ

TM

protocol ensures reliable, easy to 

implement, and inexpensive network connectivity.

CobraNet digital audio options are available with Crown’s proprietary 
“one-click” solution that integrates both TCP/IQ and CobraNet digital
audio with a single network connection.

I-Tech puts you in the digital domain... 

Attenuation: 

Displays attenua-

tion in dB and on a bar meter.

Example Basic Controls

CH1 Input Sensitivity: 

Sets the

input sensitivity of Channel 1.

Preset:

DSP settings tailored for

a specific application.* 

Peak Voltage Limiter:

Sets output

voltage limits, from 0 to 200 VOLTS

PK

.

Example Advanced Controls

Pink Noise Generator:

Adjust the

noise level from 0 dB to -100 dB
(off) in 0.5 dB steps.

Monitor:

Select thermal head-

room, AC line voltage, load, error
log, operating hours, amplifier
firmware version, date code, or
serial number.

I-Tech’s front panel LCD screen provides two valuable benefits
never before seen on a professional amplifier: fast and easy
menu-based setup and full amplifier diagnostics. 

Basic menu controls include Bridge, Y Input, Recall preset, LCD
contrast, and Input sensitivity. Advanced menus include
Attenuator limit, Attenuator link, Clip limiter, Output voltage lim-
iter, Output power limiter, Pink noise generator, Monitor, Input,
Max input, Power-up options, and more.

Intelligent Front Panel LCD

*I-Tech comes with JBL VerTec tunings preloaded into presets.

Integrated DSP

Crown engineers took advantage of the best-available 
technology and years of expertise to build a DSP section 
specific to I-Tech—one that performs with the audio quality
you have come to expect from the best outboard analog 
signal processing components. 
I-Tech’s powerful DSP is also easy to set up, with your custom 
settings and factory-designed tunings easily loaded and recalled
via onboard presets. By designing the DSP specific to I-Tech, with
the latest technology and through careful attention to detail, Crown
engineers designed a DSP section that achieves a level of accura-
cy and ease of use that is simply not possible with outboard DSP
processors.

Features

Cirrus Logic 24-bit / 96-kHz Delta-Sigma converters for

extremely low noise and extended dynamic range.

Proprietary balanced Sallen and Key 3rd-order D/A output 

filter, tightly coupled to the Class-I output stage for improved

signal-to-noise.

Latest 32-bit Sharc digital processors by Analog Devices.

Custom-designed, true studio-quality dynamics and

frequency-shaping filters.

With integrated networking and DSP, plus intelligent LCD screen.
