Crown’s Three-Year, No-Fault, Full Warranty
Crown offers a Three-Year, No-Fault, Full Warranty for every new Crown amplifi er product—an
unsurpassed industry standard. With this unprecedented No-Fault protection, your new Crown ampli-
fi er product is warranted to meet or exceed original specifi cations for the fi rst three years of ownership.
During this time, if your unit 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 unit.
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 574-294-8200.
T he Crown SST-SX module is a fourth-order
Linkwitz-Riley type crossover with the
crossover point switchable to either 80 or
120 Hz. High-frequency (HF) signals are routed to
the internal amplifer channels, and low-frequency
(LF) signals are summed and routed the mono
output connector. Truly a professional crossover,
the SST-SX uses hard-wired precision compo-
nents that stay at the frequencies you have
selected for consistent bandwidth control.
SST (System Solution Topologies) modules install
into the back of Crown SST-compatible amplifi ers,
saving rack space and simplifying system wiring.

tact the Crown Technical Support Group at

Specifi cations
Note: Specifi cations describe typical results using the
SST-SX crossover module installed in a Crown SST-
compatible amplifi er. All measurements are in Stereo
mode with 8-ohm loads and an input sensitivity of
26-dB gain at 1-kHz rated power unless otherwise
specifi ed. Specifi cations for units supplied outside
the U.S.A. may vary slightly at different AC voltages
and frequencies.
Performance
Frequency Response: ±0.1 dB from 20 Hz to 20
kHz at 1 watt.
Signal to Noise Ratio,
A-Weighted: Better than 105 dB below rated 1-kHz
power;
20 Hz to 20 kHz: Better than 100 dB below rated
1-kHz power.
Total Harmonic Distortion (THD): 1-kHz rated
power, 1.0% or less true THD from 20 Hz to 20
kHz.
Crosstalk: Better than 50 dB below rated power,
20 Hz to 20 kHz.
Input/Output
Input Impedance:
Nominally 20 k ohms, balanced. Nominally 10 k
ohms, unbalanced.
Output Impedance: 600 ohms, balanced.
Maximum Output: +15 dBm into 600 ohms.
