Crown’s Three-Year, No-Fault, Full Warranty
Crown offers a Three-Year, No-Fault, Full Warranty for every new Crown amplifi er product—an 
unsurpassed industry standard. With this unprecedented No-Fault protection, your new Crown ampli-
fi er product is warranted to meet or exceed original specifi cations for the fi rst three years of ownership. 
During this time, if your unit fails, or does not perform to original specifi cations, it will be repaired or 
replaced at our expense. About the only things not covered by this warranty are those losses normally 
covered by insurance and those caused by intentional abuse. And the coverage is transferable, should 
you sell your unit.
See your authorized Crown dealer for full warranty disclosure and details. For customers outside of the 
USA, please contact your authorized Crown distributor for warranty information or call 574-294-8200.
T
he Crown SST-SX module is a fourth-order 
Linkwitz-Riley type crossover with the 
crossover point switchable to either 80 or 
120 Hz. High-frequency (HF) signals are routed to 
the internal amplifer channels, and low-frequency 
(LF) signals are summed and routed the mono 
output connector. Truly a professional crossover, 
the SST-SX uses hard-wired precision compo-
nents that stay at the frequencies you have 
selected for consistent bandwidth control. 
SST (System Solution Topologies) modules install 
into the back of Crown SST-compatible amplifi ers, 
saving rack space and simplifying system wiring.

tact the Crown Technical Support Group at 
800-342-6939 or

Specifi cations
 
Note: Specifi cations describe typical results using the 
SST-SX crossover module installed in a Crown SST-
compatible amplifi er. All measurements are in Stereo 
mode with 8-ohm loads and an input sensitivity of 
26-dB gain at 1-kHz rated power unless otherwise 
specifi ed. Specifi cations for units supplied outside 
the U.S.A. may vary slightly at different AC voltages 
and frequencies.
Performance
Frequency Response: ±0.1 dB from 20 Hz to 20 
kHz at 1 watt.  
Signal to Noise Ratio, 
A-Weighted: Better than 105 dB below rated 1-kHz 
power; 
20 Hz to 20 kHz: Better than 100 dB below rated 
1-kHz power.
Total Harmonic Distortion (THD): 1-kHz rated 
power, 1.0% or less true THD from 20 Hz to 20 
kHz.
Crosstalk: Better than 50 dB below rated power, 
20 Hz to 20 kHz.
Input/Output
Input Impedance: 
Nominally 20 k ohms, balanced. Nominally 10 k 
ohms, unbalanced.
Output Impedance: 600  ohms, balanced.
Maximum Output: +15 dBm into 600 ohms.
Specifi cations subject to change without prior notice. Latest
