Description
The Crown® I-Tech Series offers amazing power, light weight and ease of
use for touring sound applications.
Onboard DSP (Digital Signal Processing) provides a wide array of signal
processing (compression, limiting, fi lters, and so on). This greatly
reduces the need for rack components and rack wiring. The DSP features
24-bit, 96 kHz A/D and D/A converters. All models in the I-Tech Series
are compatible with the IQ® Network and TCP/IQ™ networking. CobraNet™
input available in optional CN models, coming soon.
Push-button DSP presets simplify the setup. Custom presets can be
downloaded into the amplifi er, making it easy to confi gure for various
loudspeaker arrays.
The Global Power Supply works anywhere in the world, and offers PFC
(Power Factor Correction). It is a switching power supply for reduced
weight.
I-Tech amplifiers provide amazing power: up to 8 kW continuous and 10 kW
peak in a 2U rack space. They have the highest output voltage in the
industry (200V peak), which provides clean transient peaks. The
3rd-generation patented Class I (BCA®) circuitry couples power
efficiently to the load and provides low current drain.
A front-panel control screen shows advanced diagnostics and status
information. All controls are set from the front panel. A comprehensive
array of indicators provide accurate diagnostics: Power, Data, Bridge,
along with Ready, Signal, Clip, Thermal and Fault for each channel. An
AC mains indicator in the power switch glows green when AC power is
present.
Input connectors include analog XLR and digital AES/EBU. Analog and
digital thru connectors are provided. Output connectors are Speakon® and
5-way binding posts.
Advanced protection includes a management controller and two discrete
thermal zones with variable-speed, forced-air cooling.

The world has seen many good amplifiers, but few achieve greatness. What
sets these elite few apart from all the others? The answer is simple: A
careful synthesis of unrivaled sonic performance combined with
rock-solid dependability.
While the definition of a great amplifier may be simple, delivering on
those requirements is not. This is what has always set Crown amplifiers
apart from the others: Crown delivers.
From the slightest nuances in the tremolo of a flute to the chest
pounding bass of a rock ’n’ roll kick drum to the harmonically rich
vocals of a jazz singer, Crown delivers. Crown amplifiers are renowned
for their ability to accurately amplify anything audio—with unmatched
power and accuracy—night after night without fail.
For decades, the formula for creating great amplifiers has been the same
at Crown: An insightful combination of genetics, breakthrough
technologies, craftsmanship, and passion. This formula, proven over and
over, has produced a lineage of great amplifiers, each great in its
time, and each raising the standard for high performance. Once again,
this formula for greatness has delivered on its promise: I-Tech, the
world's next great amplifier, and the pinnacle of Crown's 50-year
history of innovation.
