Crown CTS 4200 Manual De Usuario

Building on the foundation of the Com-Tech

®

 

Series, Crown’s CTs Series offers new flexibility 
and value for installed sound applications. The 
Com-Tech Series were the first to offer inde-
pendent selection of high- and low-impedance 
operation for a specific channel, and CTs Series 
amplifiers continue that tradition, with power 
levels and features carefully chosen to perfectly 
integrate into fixed install design requirements.

Modern power amplifiers are sophisticated 
pieces of engineering capable of producing 
extremely high power levels. They must be 
treated with respect and correctly installed if 
they are to provide the many years of reliable 
service for which they were designed.

In addition, CTs Series amplifiers include a 
number of features which require some expla-
nation before they can be used to their maxi-
mum advantage.

Please take the time to study this manual so 
that you can obtain the best possible service 
from your amplifier. 

•

New  Crown

®

 Switching Power Supply for 

reduced weight.

•

High power-density, with eight channels in 
a 3U chassis and four channels in a 2U 
chassis.

•

Selectable constant-voltage (70V/100V) or 
low-impedance (8/4 ohm) operation for 
each channel pair.

•

FIT (Fault Isolation Topology) circuitry 
isolates faults within affected channels.

•

35 Hz High-Pass Filter (70 Hz in CTs 
4200) is automatically inserted when the 
channel pair is set for constant-voltage 
operation. (corner frequency may be 
changed as a service option).

•

Accepts new MC accessory modules that 
tailor the amplifier to suit specific applica-
tions. Modules available for remote VCA 
level control and IQ System

® 

Control. 

•

Comprehensive array of indicators includ-
ing Power and Data, along with Bridge, 
Ready, Signal, Clip, Thermal and Fault for 
each channel, provide accurate diagnos-
tics.

•

Blue Power Indicator flashes if the ampli-
fier shuts off due to an under-/over-voltage 
condition on the AC mains.

•

Advanced protection circuitry guards 
against: shorted outputs, open circuits, 
DC, mismatched loads, general overheat-
ing, under-/over-voltage, high-frequency 
overloads and internal faults.

Warranty completely protects your invest-
ment and guarantees its specifications.

This manual provides you with the necessary 
information to safely and correctly setup and 
operate your amplifier. It does not cover every
