Crown Audio CROWN K Series Manuale Utente

Congratulations on purchasing a Crown 
K Series amplifier. It is designed to provide very 
high power in a lightweight package, without 
using a cooling fan.  This means your amp runs 
quieter (no fan noise) and cleaner (no need for 
filters). The K Series amplifiers are very energy-
efficient as well. 

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, the K 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.
