CT-200B amplifier including the Amcron version. The Parts Listings include parts specific for the US version and the European version (CT-200BE13). For parts specific only to other versions contact the Crown Technical Support Group for help in finding part num- bers.
Part Numbering System 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.
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). Because our testing methods are more strin- gent than our published specifications, every Crown amplifier will exceed its published specifications.
Overview It should be noted that over time Crown makes im- provements and changes to their products for various reasons. This manual is up to date as of the time of writing. For additional information regarding these amplifiers, refer to the applicable Technical Notes provided by Crown for this product.

This negative feedback fixes gain at the offset reference points (and the output of the Error Amp) at a factor of -25.2 with respect to the amplifier output. The Voltage Translators are arranged in a common base configuration for non-inverting voltage gain with equal gain.

When the amplifier output swings positive, the audio is fed to an op-amp stage where it is inverted. This inverted signal is delivered directly to the bases of the positive (NPN) and negative (PNP) LS predrivers. The negative drive forces the LS PNP devices on (NPN off).
Electrical Checkout Procedures General Information The following test procedures are to be used to verify operation of this amplifier. DO NOT connect a load or inject a signal unless directed to do so by the proce- dure. These tests, though meant for verification and alignment of the amplifier, may also be very helpful in troubleshooting.
