    The Crest Audio Model 10004 Power Amplifier The Model 10004 power amplifier is unique in that it is a high-power, four-channel amplifier. Offering the advantages of Crest Audio’s Power Density engineering design philosophy, this amplifier provides 1400 watts at 2Ω from each of the four channels. All four chan- nels have independent LED indicators, attenuation, and input /output connections.

    NexSys Professional Series amplifiers are compatible with NexSys, Crest Audio’s dynamic hardware/software package that allows for sound system control and management from a Windows-based PC. The octal socket is used to connect between the amplifier and the NexSys supervisor via the NS-CCM-2 Control Module.
  • Page 13: Connecting Power

    The Model 10004 power amplifier is configured so that one or both pairs of channels can be bridged to mono. Using the rear panel mode select switches, follow the same procedures as outlined above to bridge channels A&B together and/or C&D together. Crest Audio Pro Series Power Amplifiers Never try to hold the power switch in the “ON”...
  • Page 14: Bridging Precautions

    Do not remove the jumper if the amplifier and the signal source equipment are not on the same AC ground. Note: On the Model 10004 power amplifier, there are two (2) signal ground lift jumpers. Page 12 Crest Audio Pro Series Power Amplifiers...
  • Page 15: Indicators

    Professional Series amplifiers incorporate several circuits to protect both themselves and loudspeakers under virtually any situation. Crest Audio has attempted to make the amplifiers as foolproof as possible by making them immune to short and open circuits, mis- matched loads, DC voltage, and overheating. If a channel goes into the clip limiting or IGM gain reduction mode, the speaker load remains connected, but clipping percentage or output power are instantly reduced.
  • Page 16: Speaker Protection

    1. If a signal is present during power-up (or when coming out of protect), the speakers are spared a sudden, potentially damaging burst of audio power. 2. Because the gain is reduced until after the output relay closes, no arcing occurs at the contacts, thereby extending their useful life. Speaker Protection Page 14 Crest Audio Pro Series Power Amplifiers...
  • Page 17: Amplifier Maintenance And User Responsibility

    The amplifier’s clipping point is its maximum peak output power, and some of the higher power Crest Audio Professional Series amplifiers can deliver more power than many speakers can safely handle. Be sure the peak power capa- bility of the amplifier is not excessive for your speaker system.
