mises, no gimmicks. Just brilliant engineering
backed by superior manufacturing, support and an
unsurpassed commitment to quality. Like all Crown
amps, the defi ning characteristic of the Macro-Tech
Series is sonic accuracy. A tight, rock-solid low end,
with smooth, detailed highs and a well-defi ned mid-
range. In short, the most accurate reproduction of an
audio signal you’ve ever heard. And because we put
the quality of sound above all else, a Crown amplifi er
is the most coveted amplifi er in the business.

When it comes to manufacturing amps, our work is
based on one simple fact: there are no shortcuts to
quality. And our Macro-Techs have proven it time and
time again in some of the most demanding applica-
tions in the world.

The VZ
®
Series is a signifi cant leap forward in ampli-
fi er design. Our patented variable impedance (VZ)
technology permits the MA-3600VZ or MA-5002VZ to
dynamically adapt to signal and load requirements in
real time. Whether you need current in a low-imped-
ance sub-woofer situation, or high-voltage swings for
those transient signals, the VZs deliver!

Specifi cations
Note: Specifi cations relate to 120 volt, 60 Hz units
in Stereo mode with 8-ohm loads and an input sen-
sitivity of 26 dB gain at 1 kHz rated power unless
otherwise specifi ed. Specifi cations for units supplied
outside the U.S.A. may vary slightly at different AC
voltages and frequencies.

back-panel switch is used to control each channel’s
input compressor. The “fast” setting provides an
attack time of 4 milliseconds and a release time of
300 milliseconds; the “slow” setting provides an
