Device Presets; Saving Device Presets - Crown 2/300 Operation Manual

Device Presets

Device presets allow configuration, DSP, channel assignment, gains, as well as other settings to be stored for later recall. A device preset can be used to
configure the amp for a specific application and speaker model. For example, you might use one device preset that optimizes the amp's DSP for a JBL bi-
amplified speaker setting. Or, you might use a device preset that sets up the DSP for a stereo pair of loudspeakers of your choice. Subtle changes can also
be made between device presets, such as a change of input channel assignments. Device presets can be stored within the amplifier or backed up to a PC
using Audio Architect.
Preset 1 is the factory default device preset and cannot be overwritten. It sets up the amplifier for pass-thru operation with no DSP features enabled. Presets
2-20 are user device presets and can be overwritten.
The following bullets outline which settings are stored to device presets and which are not:

settings should be saved before loading another device preset if you wish to recall them at a
later time, otherwise settings will be lost.
