Crest Audio CPA600 Specifications

CPA600 power amplifier

description

The Crest Audio CPA600 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 amplifi-
er. Bass is solid and defined to the limits of audibility, with
ample current reserves delivered by an "over-engineered" power
supply and advanced Class
put devices assure detailed, transparent high frequency
response. And, thanks to Crest's exclusive
will drive 2 loads safely without compromise in performance.

Construction and Quality Control

The CPA600 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 CPA600 receives
a rigorous "hot room" burn-in before thorough final check-
out 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.
