CTs SERIES
B
uilding on the foundation of the
Com-Tech
®
Series, Crown’s CTs Series
offers new fl exibility and value for
installed sound applications. The Com-Tech
Series were the fi rst to offer independent selec-
tion of high- and low-impedance operation for
a specifi c channel, and CTs Series amplifi ers
continue that tradition, with power levels and
features carefully chosen to perfectly integrate
into fi xed install design requirements. For
added fl exibility, the CTs Series includes both
dual-channel and multi-channel models.
All models in the CTs Series feature Crown’s
new Switching Power Supply for lighter weight,
and all models are also compatible with the
IQ System
®
. Two-channel models accept PIP2™
modules, and also feature selectable high-pass
fi lters and input sensitivity for each channel.
In a profession where unplanned service calls
quickly wipe out profi ts, the CTs Series ampli-
fi ers are designed to be the most reliable ampli-
fi ers you can install.

Series, contact Crown Customer Service at

Front Panel Controls and Indicators
Bridge Mode Indicator: Yellow LED illuminates
when the rear-panel Mode Switch is set to the
“Bridge” position.
Ready Indicator: Green LED, one per channel,
illuminates when the channel is initialized and
ready to produce audio output. Indicator is off
when PIP puts the amplifi er in standby mode
via the IQ system.
Signal Indicators: Three green LEDs per chan-
nel indicate the amplifi er’s input and output
signal levels.
Signal: input signal is above –40 dBu.
–20 dB: amplifi er output is 20 dB below
clipping.
–10 dB: amplifi er output is 10 dB below
clipping.
Features
• Crown Switching Power Supply for reduced
weight.
• High power-density, with all two-channel
models in a 2U chassis.
• Direct constant-voltage (70V) or low-imped-
ance (2/4/8 ohm) operation. 100V/140V/
200V available with T-170V autoformer
accessory.
• Input sensitivity independently selectable
for each channel.
• TLC protection circuitry protects the ampli-
fi er from long-term excessive heat by subtly
and dynamically reducing the gain only
when necessary.
• JTS circuitry quickly protects output transis-
tors from unsafe operating conditions with-
out shutting the channel down.
• PIP2 (Programmable Input Processor)
connector accepts accessory modules that
tailor the amplifi er to suit specifi c applica-
tions.
• Removable terminal block input connectors,
with “Y” Input Switch in the standard PIP
2
-
BBY module.
• Switchable high-pass fi lter for each channel
provides low-frequency roll off to eliminate
step down transformer saturation when used
in distributed systems.
• Comprehensive array of indicators including
Power, Data and Bridge, along with Ready,
Signal, Clip, Thermal and Fault for each
channel, provide accurate diagnostics.
• Blue Power Indicator fl ashes if the AC mains
is under/over voltage.
• Advanced protection circuitry guards against:
shorted outputs, DC, mismatched loads, gen-
eral overheating, under/over voltage, high-
frequency overloads and internal faults.
• Legendary Crown AB+B (Multi-Mode
®
) output
topology offers the best in amplifi er reliabil-
ity.
• Continuously-variable fans optimize cooling
effi ciency.
• Three Year, No-Fault, Fully-Transferable
Warranty completely protects your invest-
ment and guarantees its specifi cations.
• Crown’s advance-replacement Profi t Protec-
tion Plan provides quick replacement of
covered amps during the 3-year warranty
period.
