M Series Power Amplifiers
Operation Manual
1 Welcome
The M Series of power amplifiers from Crown
®
 
represents a new era in affordable, quality 
power amplification. The line consists of two 
models in a uniform, rugged chassis, incorpo-
rating the best of tried-and-true design princi-
ples and innovative features.
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, M Series amplifiers include a num-
ber of features which require some explanation 
before they can be used to their maximum 
advantage.
Please take the time to study this manual so 
that you can obtain the best possible service 
from your amplifier.
