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.
Voltage Gain to 1 kHz, 8-ohm rated output:
20:1 ±3% or 26 dB ±0.25-dB gain at the
maximum level setting.

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.

Controls
Enable: A front-panel three-position switch
used to select local, off or remote.
Level: A 21-position detented back-panel
rotary potentiometer for each channel used to
control the input level.
Sensitivity: A three-position switch located
inside the PIP2 compartment used to select
input sensitivity: 0.775 volts in 8/4-ohm mode
or 0.775 volts in 70-volt mode for full rated
output, or a 26-dB voltage gain.
Dual/Mono: A three-position back-panel
switch used to select Stereo, Bridge-Mono or
Parallel-Mono mode.
Reset: A back-panel push button used to reset
the circuit breaker that protects the power
supplies.
Indicators
Enable: An amber front-panel LED that shows
the on/off status of the low-voltage power
supply.
Signal: A green front-panel LED for each
channel that flashes to show amplifier output.
IOC: An amber front-panel LED for each
channel that flashes to show distortion if a
channel's output waveform differs from its
input by 0.05% or more.
ODEP: A green front-panel LED for each
channel that shows thermal-dynamic energy
reserve. Normally, each ODEP indicator is lit to
show available reserve energy. In the rare
event that a channel has no reserve, its
indicator will dim in proportion to ODEP
limiting.
