Specifications
The following applies to 120-VAC, 60-Hz units in Stereo
mode with 8-ohm loads and an input sensitivity of 26-dB
gain unless otherwise specified. Specifications for units
supplied outside the U.S.A. may vary slightly at different AC
voltages and frequencies.
Power
Output Power
Load Impedance:
Safe with all types of loads.
With 8/4-ohm output, all Com-Techs are rated
for 4 to 8 ohms in Dual mode, 8 to 16-ohms in
Bridge-Mono mode, and 2 to 4 ohms in
Parallel-Mono mode. With 70-volt output,
rated loads vary among the different models
for each dual/mono mode.
Voltage Gain
to 1 kHz, 8-ohm rated output;
20:1 ±3% or 26 dB ±0.25 dB gain at the
maximum level setting.
55:1 ±12% or 35 dB ±1 dB gain at 0.775-volt
(8/4- ohm) sensitivity;
Voltage Gain to 1 kHz, 70V rated output;
90:1 ±12% or 39 dB ±1 dB gain at 0.775 (70-
V) sensitivity.
Required AC Mains:
50/60 Hz; 100-, 120-,
220-, 240 VAC (±10%) units are available.
North American units are 60 Hz, 120 VAC only.
AC Line Current;
Current, voltage and frequency requirements
are provided on the unit’s back panel.
At Idle:
All units draw 35 watts or less when
idle (in energy-saving mode).
AC Line Connector:
NEMA 5-15P plug is
provided on 120-VAC, 60-Hz North American
units. Plug illuminates when unit is powered.
Performance
Frequency Response:
±0.1 dB from 20 Hz to
20 kHz at 1 watt.
Phase Response:
±10 degrees from 10 Hz to
20 kHz at 1 watt.
Signal-to-Noise Ratio,A-weighted:
Better than
105 dB below rated 1 kHz power.
Total Harmonic Distortion (THD):
1-kHz rated
power, 0.05% or less true THD.
Intermodulation Distortion (IMD):
(60 Hz and
7 kHz at 4:1) Less than 0.05% from rated
power to 35 dB below rated power at 8 ohms.
Damping Factor:
Greater than 1,000 from 10
Hz to 400 Hz.
Controlled Slew Rate:
(Slew rates are limited
to useful levels for ultrasonic/RF protection.)
Greater than 17 volts per microsecond.
Controls
Enable:
A front-panel three-position switch
used to select local, off or remote.
Level:
A 21-position detented back-panel
rotary potentiometer for each channel used to
control the input level.
Sensitivity:
A three-position switch located
inside the PIP2 compartment used to select
input sensitivity: 0.775 volts in 8/4-ohm mode
or 0.775 volts in 70-volt mode for full rated
output, or a 26-dB voltage gain.
Dual/Mono:
A three-position back-panel
switch used to select Stereo, Bridge-Mono or
Parallel-Mono mode.
Reset:
A back-panel push button used to reset
the circuit breaker that protects the power
supplies.
Indicators
Enable:
An amber front-panel LED that shows
the on/off status of the low-voltage power
supply.
Signal:
A green front-panel LED for each
channel that flashes to show amplifier output.
IOC:
An amber front-panel LED for each
channel that flashes to show distortion if a
channel’s output waveform differs from its
input by 0.05% or more.
ODEP:
A green front-panel LED for each
channel that shows thermal-dynamic energy
reserve. Normally, each ODEP indicator is lit to
show available reserve energy. In the rare
event that a channel has no reserve, its
Features
•
Unique power supply allows channels to be
independently operated in either 70-V or 8/4
-ohm mode.
•
Remote feature allows amplifier to be turned
on and off from a remote location by adding
an optional
R.S.V.P. accessory.
•
Crown’s
Grounded Bridge™ design delivers
large voltage swings without using easily
stressed output-transistor configurations like
conventional amplifiers. The results are
lower distortion and superior reliability.
•
Patented
ODEP
®
(Output Device Emulation
Protection) circuitry compensates for over-
heating and overload to keep the amplifier
working when others would fail.
•
IOC
®
(Input/Output Comparator) circuitry im-
mediately alerts of any distortion exceeding
0.05%, providing dynamic
proof of distortion-
free performance.
•
Enhanced
PIP2™ (Programmable Input Pro-
cessor) connector accepts new accessory
modules that tailor the amplifier to suit spe-
cific applications.
•
Full protection from shorted, open and mis-
matched loads; general overheating; DC;
high-frequency overloads, and protection
from full internal fault are provided by our lat-
est protection scheme: “
Quad-Mute.”
•
Three Year No-Fault Full Warranty completely
protects your investment and guarantees its
specifications.
