This manual contains complete service information
on the Crown K1 and K2 power amplifiers. It contains
service information for both non-CE and CE (Euro-
pean) units. It is designed to be used in conjunction
with the Reference Manual; however, some important
information is duplicated in this Service Manual in case
the Reference Manual is not readily available.

1.1.1 The K Series Amplifiers
The K Series of power amplifiers are efficient, com-
pact, high-power audio amplifiers designed for pro-
fessional use. They provide full audio bandwidth, high-
power amplification with minimum distortion. Crown’s
patented 

Balanced Current Amplifier™ design allows

for maintenance-free operation with maximum perfor-

mance. Other features include convection cooling,
balanced inputs, Bridge-Mono operation, “Y” Input for
routing one signal to both channels, and input com-
pression for maximum loudspeaker protection.

Each Reference Manual contains basic policies as
related to the customer. In addition, it should be stated
that this service documentation is meant to be used
only by properly trained personnel. Because most
Crown products carry a 3-Year Full Warranty (includ-
ing round trip shipping within the United States), all
warranty service should be referred to the Crown Fac-
tory or Authorized Warranty Service Center. See the
applicable Reference Manual for warranty details. To
find the location of the nearest Authorized Warranty
Service Center or to obtain instructions for receiving
Crown Factory Service, please contact the Crown
Technical Support Group (within North America), or
your Crown/Amcron Importer (outside North America).
If you are an Authorized Warranty Service Center and
have questions regarding the warranty of a product,
please contact the Field Service Manager or the Tech-
nical Support Group.
