CE-Series

Amps with an Attitude!

Quick Start!

You’ve waited a long time for this! We know you just can’t wait
to crank up your new Crown

®

CE-Series amplifier. And you

sure don’t want to flip through pages of tech-talk just to find out
where the “ON” switch is. So that’s why we provided you with
this quick and simple page to get you up and running right
away. Just take a few minutes to read through this—no more
than five or ten, max—you’ll be glad you did.

1.

Make sure the

CE-Series amp and all other equipment is

turned OFF before you begin wiring. By the way, the amp
power switch is located on the far left side of the front
panel. It is OFF when depressed on the left.

2.

Mount your

CE-Series amp securely in the rack, or posi-

tion it on a solid surface.

3.

Connect the left and right inputs coming from your mixer,
preamp, or processor. You can use either balanced

1

/

4

-inch

phone, 3-pin XLR or barrier block connectors. You can also
choose to run in MONO mode. (See Figures 2.6 and 2.8.)

4.

Connect the output wiring (left and right speakers). You
will need two (2) Neutrik Speakon

®

NL4FC mating con-

nectors.

5.

Connect your

CE-Series amp and other equipment to the

appropriate power source.

6.

Turn on your mixer, preamp, signal processor, or any
other equipment in your system EXCEPT your

CE-Series

amplifier. (Remember: the best is worth waiting for.)

7. Make sure the Channel 1 and Channel 2 level (volume)

controls on your

CE-Series amplifier are turned all the way

down (counter-clockwise), then flip the power switch ON.
Note: The Fault light blinks a few times, and the “Power”
light will glow a bright green to indicate power is on.

8.

(Now comes the fun!) Supply input, adjust amp levels
and enjoy.

9.

You can check the green signal light to verify input, if nec-
essary.
