CKd Owner’s Manual
Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase of a Crest Audio CKd family of Power
Processing amplifiers. Please read this manual carefully (especially the
“Important Precautions” section located inside the front cover) as it
contains information vital to the safe operation of the amplifier. Also, please
fill out and return the enclosed product registration card. The CKd Series of
four and eight channel Power Processing amplifiers represent new levels
of value and flexibility never before offered to the contracting market. CKd
Series amps are specially designed to independently drive low impedance
speaker loads and/or provide directly coupled 70.7 or 100 volt outputs on a
per channel basis. This amplifier covers almost every conceivable installed
or distributed sound power requirement. By combining legendary Crest
performance with a plug-in module bay located on the rear panel, these
amplifiers can become very sophisticated audio processors. The CKd
Series is everything that you expect from Crest Audio. They are ruggedly
built from high quality components, intelligently laid out, and possess
comprehensive protection features. After-sale support is considered
paramount at Crest Audio. For any assistance in the set-up or operation of
this product please call Crest Audio’s Customer Service department or
your local Crest Audio representative. Should you have any problems at
all, or suggestions that may help us improve our products or service,
please contact us. We encourage your participation in Crest’s future.
