Level Controls (Encoders): These two knobs affect
the Channel-1 and Channel-2 output levels. They also
select Menu items and adjust parameter values that
are displayed on the LCD Control Screen.
Bridge Mode Indicator: Yellow LED illuminates when
the amplifier is set to Bridge-Mono mode.

nates when the channel is initialized and ready to pro-
duce audio output. Indicator is off when the amplifier
is in standby mode via the control software.

cate the amplifier’s input and output signal levels.
Signal: input signal is above –40 dBu.
–20 dB: amplifier output is 20 dB below clipping.

Clip Indicator: Red LED, one per channel, illuminates
when the channel’s output signal reaches the onset of
audible clipping. The Clip Indicator also will illuminate
during Thermal Level Control (TLC) limiting.

nates when the channel has shut down due to thermal
stress or overload.

when the amplifier output channel has stopped operat-
ing.
Data Indicator: Yellow LED indicates HiQnet/IQ TCP/IP
data activity. Data indicator flashes only when the

been turned on and AC power is available. The LED
will flash when the AC line voltage is 15% above or
below the nominal rated range.

Other Applications
T he Crown ® I-Tech Series offers amazing power, light weight and ease of use for touring sound and
installed sound applications. Onboard DSP provides a wide array of signal processing, greatly reduc-
ing the need for rack components and rack wiring. Onboard DSP features 24-bit, 96 kHz A/D and D/A
converters. All models are compatible with the HiQnet Network and TCP/IQ networking. Digital audio and
HiQnet/IQ control signals connect to the amp via a single CobraNet cable in optional new models, coming
soon. Push-button DSP presets simplify the setup for various loudspeaker arrays. The Global Power Supply
works anywhere in the world, and offers PFC (Power Factor Correction). I-Tech amplifiers have the high-
est output voltage in the industry (200V peak), which provides clean transient peaks. The 3rd-generation
patented Class I (BCA
® ) circuitry couples power efficiently to the load and allows low AC current drain. A
front-panel control screen shows advanced diagnostics and status information.
