I
t’s hard to please every crowd. But you’ll 
have a better chance when you use a Crown 
Power-Tech .1 Series amplifi er. Musicians 
and DJs alike demand a lot from their sys-
tems—clean, punchy sound; reliability; rug-
gedness; smaller size; less weight—all at a 
reasonable price. And Crown PT .1s bring 
these benefi ts and much more to the table. 
That’s because at Crown, we’ve built our repu-
tation around legendary sound and support. 
Power-Tech .1 Series amplifi ers are compact, 
professional stereo power amplifi ers engi-
neered to meet the most demanding sound 
reinforcement needs. They compare very 
favorably to more expensive amplifi ers, pro-
viding uncolored sound and signal-to-noise 
ratios commonly associated with recording 
studios. Plus, every Power-Tech .1 amplifi er is 
backed by Crown’s unequaled Three-Year, No-
Fault, fully-transferrable warranty that covers 
everything.
With over fi ve decades of experience designing 
and building rock-solid products, Crown is the 
standard in amp technology. So check out the 
affordable, “all-Crown” Power-Tech .1. They 
are a powerful argument for quality and value!

Specifi cations
The following applies to units in Stereo mode with 8-ohm loads 
and an input sensitivity of 26 dB unless otherwise specifi ed.
120 VAC, 60 Hz Units: refers to amplifi ers with dedicated 
transformers for 120 VAC, 60 Hz power mains.
International Units: refers to amplifi ers with special multi-tap 
transformers that make them confi gurable for several AC 
mains voltages and line frequencies.
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: A-weighted, better than 105 
dB below full bandwidth power. Better than 100 
dB below full bandwidth power from 20 Hz to 
20 kHz.
Total Harmonic Distortion (THD): Less than 
0.05% at full bandwidth power from 20 Hz to 1 
kHz increasing linearly to 0.1% at 20 kHz.
Load Impedance: Safe with all types of loads. 
Rated for 4 to 8 ohms in Stereo, 8 to 16 ohms 
in Bridge-Mono and 2 to 4 ohms in Parallel-
Mono mode.
Required AC Mains: Power requirements are 
provided on each unit’s back panel. 120 VAC, 
60 Hz and 100/120/220/240 VAC, 50 to 60 
Hz (non-convertible) units are available. Rated 
AC mains voltages are ±10%. Quiescent power 
draw is 90 watts or less. 100 and 120 VAC units 
draw up to 10 amps of current; 220 and 240 
VAC units draw up to 5 amps.
Low-Voltage Power Supply: A ±24 VDC fan-
former supply (fan motor winding) regulated to 
±15 VDC.
AC Connector: An appropriate AC line cord and 
plug are provided. North American units have 
a standard 3-wire, 15-amp grounded connector 
(NEMA 5-15P).
Controls
Power: A front panel push button switch used 
to turn the amplifi er on and off. It is also a 
circuit breaker for the power supply.
Level: A front panel rotary potentiometer for 
each channel used to control the output level.
Stereo/Mono: A three-position back panel 
switch used to select Stereo, Bridge-Mono or 
Parallel-Mono mode.
Sensitivity: A three-position switch behind the 
input module used to select the input sensitivity 
for both channels: 0.775 volts or 1.4 volts for 
standard 1 kHz power, or 26 dB voltage gain.
