that a channel has no reserve, its indicator will
turn off and the ODEP circuitry will limit the
channel's output drive.
Input/Output
Input Connector: Two balanced ¼-inch
(6.35-mm) phone jacks on the back panel and
two balanced three-pin female XLR connectors
on the factory-installed PIP-FX.
Input Impedance: Nominally 20 k ohms, bal-
anced. Nominally 10 k ohms, unbalanced.
Maximum Input Level: 13 volts peak.
Input Sensitivity (for rated power at 1 kHz):
0.775 volt, 1.4 volts, or a 26 dB voltage gain.
Output Connectors: Color-coded 5-way binding
posts (for banana plugs, spade lugs or bare
wire). Channel 1 (3600) has two pair of binding
posts, and Channel 2 (1200) has one pair of
binding posts.
Output Impedance: Less than 10 milliohms in
series with less than 2 microhenries.
DC Output Offset: (Shorted input) ±10 milli-
volts.
Output Signal: Unbalanced, two-channel.
Crown's Three-Year, No-Fault, Fully-Transferable Warranty
Crown offers a Three-Year, No-Fault, Fully-Transferable Warranty for every new Crown ampli-
fi er—an unsurpassed industry standard. With this unprecedented No-Fault protection, your new
Crown amplifi er is warranted to meet or exceed original specifi cations for the fi rst three years of
ownership. During this time, if your amplifi er fails, or does not perform to original specifi cations,
it will be repaired or replaced at our expense. About the only things not covered by this warranty
are those losses normally covered by insurance and those caused by intentional abuse. And the
coverage is transferable, should you sell your amplifi er.
See your authorized Crown dealer for full warranty disclosure and details. For customers outside
of the USA, please contact your authorized Crown distributor for warranty information or call
219-294-8200.

Protection
Macro-Tech amplifi ers are protected against
shorted, open or mismatched loads; overloaded
power supplies; excessive temperature; chain
destruction phenomena; input overload
damage; and high-frequency blowups. They
also protect loudspeakers from input/output DC
and turn-on/turn-off transients.
If unreasonable operating conditions occur, the
patented ODEP circuitry will proportionally limit
the drive level to protect the output transistor
stages, particularly in the case of elevated tem-
perature. Transformer overheating will result in
a temporary shutdown of the affected channel;
when it has cooled to a safe temperature, the
transformer will automatically reset itself. Con-
trolled slew-rate voltage amplifi ers prevent RF
burnouts, and input overload protection is pro-
vided by current-limiting resistance at the input.
Turn On: Four-second delay with no dangerous
transients. Delay time can be changed (contact
Crown's Technical Support Group).
