Crest Audio CPA1200 Specifications

CPA1200 power amplifier
description
The Crest Audio CPA1200 professional power amplifier is
designed to achieve unsurpassed sonic performance and long-
term reliability – even when operating under extreme stress
– in touring or fixed installation applications.
Absolute sonic accuracy is the hallmark of every Crest ampli-
fier. Bass is solid and defined to the limits of audibility, with
ample current reserves delivered by an "over-engineered"
power supply and advanced Class
width output devices assure detailed, transparent high fre-
quency response. And, thanks to Crest's exclusive
the CPA1200 will drive 2
Ω
in performance.
Construction and Quality Control
The CPA1200 is built exclusively in Crest's own USA manu-
facturing facility, with internal components selected for pre-
mium quality and proven durability. Each modular
subassembly is pre-tested, and the assembled CPA1200
receives a rigorous "hot room" burn-in before thorough final
checkout on precision test equipment.

TourClass ® protection circuits
acl active clip limiting prevents speaker damage by
providing gentle gain reduction at the clipping threshold.
igm instantaneous gain modulation monitors speaker loads to
detect conditions that may overstress output devices, allowing safe
operation into difficult impedances.
autoramp gradually increases gain to the attenuator level-
settings when the amplifier is turned on.
Protection features include: short circuit, dc voltage,
comprehensive thermal management, current in-rush turn-
on/off transient, and sub/ultrasonic input.
