Crown 1160ma User Manual

Your amplifier is protected from internal and exter-
nal faults, but you should still take the following 
precautions for optimum performance and safety:

1.

Before use, your amplifier first must be config-
ured for proper operation, including input and 
output wiring hookup. Improper wiring can 
result in serious operating difficulties. For 
information on wiring and configuration, please 
consult the Setup section of this manual or, for 
advanced setup techniques, consult Crown’s 
Amplifier Application Guide available online at 
www.crownaudio.com.

2.

Use care when making connections, selecting 
signal sources and controlling the output level. 
The load you save may be your own!

3.

Do not short the ground lead of an output cable 
to the input signal ground. This may form a 
ground loop and cause oscillations.

5.

Tampering with the circuitry, or making unau-

thorized circuit changes may be hazardous and 
invalidates all agency listings.

6.

Do not operate the amplifier with the red Clip 
LEDs constantly flashing. 

7.

Do not overdrive the mixer, which will cause 

clipped signal to be sent to the amplifier. Such 
signals will be reproduced with extreme accu-
racy, and loudspeaker damage may result. 

8.

Do not operate the amplifier with less than the 

rated load impedance. Due to the amplifier’s 
output protection, such a configuration may 
result in premature clipping and speaker dam-
age.
