Crown k1 Manual De Usuario

Connect your amplifier's power cord to the AC 
mains power source (power outlet).

Amplifiers don't create energy. The AC mains 
voltage and current must be sufficient to deliver 
the power you expect. You must operate your 
amplifier from an AC mains power source with 
not more than 10% variation above or below 
the amplifier's specified line voltage and within 
the specified frequency requirements (indicated 
on the amplifier's back panel label). If you are 
unsure of the output voltage of your AC mains, 
please consult your electrician.

Use the following procedure when first turning 
on your amplifier:

1. Turn down the level of your audio source. 

2. Turn down the Level controls of the amplifier.

3. Turn on the Power switch. The Enable indica-
tor next to the Power switch should glow. 

4. Turn up the level of your audio source to an 
optimum level.

5. Turn up the Level controls on the amplifier 
until the desired loudness or power level is 
achieved.

6.Turn down the level of your audio source to 
its normal range.

If you ever need to make any wiring or installa-
tion changes, don't forget to disconnect 
the power cord.

For help with determining your system's opti-
mum gain structure (signal levels) please refer 
to the Crown Amplifier Application Guide, 
available online at www.crownaudio.com.

Your amplifier is protected from internal and 
external faults, but you should still take the fol-
lowing precautions for optimum performance 
and safety:

1. Before use, your amplifier must be config-
ured for proper operation as described in the 
Setup section of this manual. Improper wiring 
can result in serious operating difficulties. For 
advanced setup techniques, consult Crown's 
Amplifier Application Guide available online at 
www.crownaudio.com.

2. Use care when making connections, select-
ing 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.

4. Never connect the output to a power supply, 
battery or power main. Electrical shock may 
result.

5. Tampering with the circuitry, or making 
unauthorized circuit changes may be hazardous 
and invalidates all agency listings.

6. Do not operate the amplifier with the Clip 
LED 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. 

Crown is not liable for damage that results from 
overdriving other system components.
