Specifications

The following applies to 120-VAC, 60-Hz units in Stereo
mode with 8-ohm loads and an input sensitivity of 26-dB
gain unless otherwise specified. Specifications for units
supplied outside the U.S.A. may vary slightly at different AC
voltages and frequencies.

*1 kHz Power: refers to maximum average power in watts
at 1 kHz with 0.1% THD.
**20 Hz–20 kHz Power: refers to maximum average power
in watts from 20 Hz to 20 kHz with 0.1% THD.
Load Impedance: Safe with all types of loads.
With 8/4-ohm output, all Com-Techs are rated
for 4 to 8 ohms in Dual mode, 8 to 16 ohms in
Bridge-Mono mode, and 2 to 4 ohms in
Parallel-Mono mode. With 70-volt output,
rated loads vary among the different models
for each dual/mono mode.

Features
• Unique power supply allows channels to be
independently operated in either 70-V or 8/4-
ohm mode.
• Remote feature allows amplifier to be turned
on and off from a remote location by adding
an optional R.S.V.P. accessory.
• Crown's Grounded Bridge™ design delivers
large voltage swings without using easily
stressed output-transistor configurations like
conventional amplifiers. The results are
lower distortion and superior reliability.
• Patented ODEP
Protection) circuitry compensates for over-
heating and overload to keep the amplifier
working when others would fail.
