Congratulations on purchasing a
Crown
Power-Tech
™
.1 Series
amplifier. Power-Tech .1
Series amplifiers are compact, professional
power amplifiers engineered to meet the most
demanding sound reinforcement needs. They
compare very favorably to more expensive
amplifiers, providing uncolored sound and sig-
nal-to-noise ratios commonly associated with
recording studios.
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, the Power-Tech .1 Series amplifiers
include a number of features which require
some explanation before they can be used to
their maximum advantage.
Please take the time to study this manual so
that you can obtain the best possible service
from your amplifier.
