Note that Crown does not sell blank (unpopulated) circuit boards. Introduction Each of the compact audio power amplifiers are designed for professional or commercial use. -
Page 5: Parts Information
PART NUMBERING SYSTEMS As of the printing of this manual, Crown is using two numbering systems. The elder system always uses eight characters. The first character is a letter. Com- mon letters used are C, D, H, M, P, and Q. -
Page 6: Specifications
Power Base-3 & 1400CSL Amplifier Service Manual Unless noted otherwise, all specifications are based on driving an 8 ohm load per channel, both channels driven, the sensitivity switch in the 26dB position, the AC supply is 120VAC at 60Hz. Crown specifications are guaranteed through the warranty period (normally 3 years). -
Page 7: Voltage Conversion
F100, fanformer, and power cord refer to voltage- parts cross-reference. Specific parts are required for the PB-3/1400CSL in order to be used at different international line volt- ages. Refer also to Mechanical Parts Lists. Voltage Specific Parts: 30A Breaker for 100-120V Operation 15A Breaker for 220-240V Operation 0.5A F1, Low Voltage*... -

Technical Notes provided by Crown for this product. This section of the manual explains the general opera- tion of a typical Crown power amplifier. Topics cov- ered include Front End, Grounded Bridge, and ODEP. Due to variations in design from vintage to vintage (and similarities with other Crown products) the theory of operation remains simplified. - Page 9 Power Base-3 & 1400CSL Amplifier Service Manual output of the amplifier at 26 dB. Diodes prevent overdriving the Error Amp. Because the Error Amp amplifies the difference between input and output signals, any difference in the two waveforms will produce a near open loop gain condition which in turn results in high peak output voltage.
- Page 10 Power Base-3 & 1400CSL Amplifier Service Manual ultra low distortion in the signal zero-crossing region and high efficiency. High Side (HS) The High Side (HS) of the bridge operates much like a conventional bipolar push-pull output configuration. As the input drive voltage becomes more positive, the HS NPN conducts and delivers positive voltage to the load.
- Page 11 Power Base-3 & 1400CSL Amplifier Service Manual In other words, the high voltage power supply floats with respect to ground, but ±Vcc remain constant with respect to each other. This allows the power supply to deliver +Vcc and -Vcc from the same bridge rectifier and filter as a total difference in potential, regardless of their voltages with respect to ground.
