12. Use only with a cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table specified 

by the manufacturer, or sold with the apparatus. When a cart is 
used, use caution when moving the cart/apparatus combination 
to avoid injury from tip-over.

13. Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when unused 

for long periods of time.

14. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is 

required when the apparatus has been damaged in any way, 
such as power-supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been 
spilled or objects have fallen into the apparatus, the apparatus 
has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate nor mally, 
or has been dropped.

15. Use the mains plug to disconnect the apparatus from the mains.
16. WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC

REMAIN READILY OPERABLE.

Important Safety Instructions

MAGNETIC FIELD

CAUTION!  Do not locate sensitive high-gain equipment such as 
preamplifiers or tape decks directly above or below the unit. Because 
this amplifier has a high power density, it has a strong magnetic field 
which can induce hum into unshielded devices that are located nearby. 
The field is strongest just above and below the unit.

If an equipment rack is used, we recommend locating the amplifier(s) 
in the bottom of the rack and the preamplifier or other sensitive equip-
ment at the top.

WATCH FOR THESE SYMBOLS: 

The lightning bolt triangle is used 

to alert the user to the risk of electric shock.

The exclamation point triangle is used to alert the user to important 
operating or maintenance instructions.

IMPORTANT

LPS Series amplifiers require Class 2 output wiring.

TO PREVENT ELECTRIC SHOCK DO NOT REMOVE TOP OR BOTTOM 
COVERS. NO USER SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE. REFER SERVICING 
TO QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL. 

TO COMPLETELY DISCONNECT THIS EQUIPMENT FROM THE AC 
MAINS, DISCONNECT THE POWER SUPPLY CORD PLUG FROM THE 
AC RECEPTACLE. THE MAINS PLUG OF THE POWER SUPPLY CORD 
SHALL REMAIN READILY OPERABLE.

Introduction

C

ongratulations on your purchase of a Crown

®

 LPS power amplifier. All 

three models in the series are powerful, rugged and reliable. They are 

suited for applications such as churches, concert tours, stages, disco, pubs, 
or any place that requires amplifier installation.

Features include XLR inputs, Speakon

®

 and binding post outputs, stereo/

parallel/bridge-mono mode, power/fault/signal/clip indicators, forced-air 
cooling; and protection against shorts, no-load, on/off muting and radio-
frequency interference.

Installation

Designed to fit into a standard 19-inch equipment rack, the unit takes up 
only two rack spaces. Secure this unit with four rack-mount screws and cup 
washers. For optimum cooling, rack amps without spaces between them. If 
amps are racked with spaces between them, solid non-vented rack panels are 
recommended between amps. Provide standard rack-mount clearance of 2 
inches on each side and 5 cm in the rear.

This unit comes with a variable speed fan that auto-adjusts fan speed 
depending on the temperature of the unit during operation. Airflow is front to 
back, so do not place any object that may prevent heat from exiting the unit 
from its back vent.

Provide standard rack-mount clearance of 2 inches on each side and 
5 cm in the rear.
