Crown Audio CTS4200A Manual De Usuario

Building on the foundation of the Com-Tech

®

 

Series, Crown’s CTs Series offers new fl exibility 
and value for installed sound applications. The 
Com-Tech Series were the fi rst to offer 
inde pendent selection of high- and low-
impedance operation for a specifi c channel, and 
CTs Series amplifi ers continue that tradition, 
with power levels and features carefully chosen 
to perfectly integrate into fi xed install design 
requirements.

Modern power amplifi ers 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 amplifi ers 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 amplifi er.

 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 VC-MC accessory module that 
tailors the amplifi er for remote VCA level 
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 fl ashes if the 
ampli fi er 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.
