CTs Multi-Channel Power Amplifiers

Operation Manual

CONDITION: Power indicator is off

.

POSSIBLE REASON

•  The amplifier has lost AC power.
•  The amplifier’s Power switch is off.
•  The amplifier is not plugged into the 

power receptacle.

•  The amplifier output level is so high that 

the power supply fuse has blown. Verify 

that input levels and output impedances 

are within safe ranges. Refer the unit to 

an authorized Crown service center for 

fuse replacement.

CONDITION: Power indicator is 
flashing

.

POSSIBLE REASON:

•  The AC line voltage has dropped below 

10% or has risen above 10% of the 

nominal line voltage of the power supply.

Refer to section 5.1.6 for specific voltage 

requirements.

CONDITION: Fault indicator is on.

POSSIBLE REASON:

•  The amplifier channel has stopped 

oper ating. Return the unit to an 

authorized Crown Service Center. 

 
CONDITION: Distorted sound

.

POSSIBLE REASON:

•   Load is wired incorrectly or Dual/Bridge 

mode switch is set incorrectly. Check 

both.

•  Input is overloaded by a signal level that is 

too high. Turn down your amplifier level 

controls, or turn down the input sig nal, 

until the clip light goes out.

•  Thermal Level Control (TLC) is active.
Note: If the signal sounds distorted even 

though the Clip LED is off, the input signal is 

distorted. Check gain staging and output 

lev els of the mixer or preamp. 

5 Troubleshooting

CONDITION: No sound, even though 
the amp has power. 

Power LED is on 

without flashing and the amp is receiving an 

input signal. Signal indicator is flashing. 

•  Speakers not connected.
•  Open circuit due to speaker failure.
•  Level control is down.

CONDITION: No input signal. 

(Signal indicator is not flashing even though 

audio is applied and channel is ready).

POSSIBLE REASON:

•  Input signal level is very low.
•  Input cables have become disconnected.

•  There is a short on the amplifier 

output. First disconnect your speakers 

from the affected channel(s) one by one 

to determine if one of the loads is 

shorted.

5 Troubleshooting 

(continued)

CONDITION: Thermal indicator is 
flashing.

POSSIBLE REASON:

•  The amplifier has become too hot for 

safe operation. Check for loads less than 

2 ohms, and for excessive input levels. 

Check for proper ventilation and proper 

mode-switch setting. Driving low-

impedance loads while in high-voltage 

mode can cause overheating.

CONDITION: All channel thermal 
indicators are flashing.

POSSIBLE REASON:

•  Power supply thermal overload.

•  DC or excessive low-frequency signal at 

the amplifier’s output has enabled 

speaker protection.

CONDITION: Bridge LED is flashing

.

POSSIBLE REASON

:

•  The mode switch was switched while the 

power was on.
