Summary information about this CTS 3000, created by Crown:
Crown CTS 3000 Building on the foundation of the Com-Tech® Series, Crown's CTs Series offers new flexibility and value for installed sound applications. The Com-Tech Series were the first to offer independent selection of high- and low-impedance operation for a specific channel, and CTs Series amplifiers continue that tradition, with power levels and features carefully chosen to perfectly integrate into fixed install design requirements. The power amplifier shall be a solid-state 2-channel model employing Class 1 (BCA) output circuitry. The amplifier shall contain protection from shorted, open and mismatched loads, general overheating, DC, high-frequency overloads, under/over voltage,and internal faults. If an amplifier channel starts to overheat, the Thermal Level Control (TLC) circuit shall engage that channel's input compressor in an amount proportional to the amount of overheating, in order to generate less heat. If the channel becomes too hot for safe operation, the channel shall shut off,nd the Thermal Indicator for that channel shall illuminate brightly to alert the user that a state of thermal stress or overload has caused the channel to shut down. The front-panel control shall be a power switch.Rear-mounted controls shall include Channel Level Controls, High Pass Filter Switches (one per channel), and a Mode Switch. The High Pass Filter Switch shall select between fl at and 2 position of rolloff. The 2position Mode Switch selects between Dual or Bridge-Mono operation. Crown CTS 3000
Features: The recommended load impedance in Dual mode shall be 2/4/8 and 70V or 100V. The load impedance in Bridge-Mono mode shall be 4/8/16 ohms and 140V or 200V. The amplifi er shall be safe when driving any kind of load,including highly reactive ones. The rear-mounted output connector shall be one 4-pole touch-proof terminal strip. Rear-mounted input connectors shall be 3-pin balanced barrier connectors on the standard PIP2-BBY module. This module shall include a "Y" Input Switch which combines both input signals. The amplifier shall be fully compatible with and shall provide appropriate input cables and connectors for Crown® PIP2 modules. The amplifi er shall be fully compatible with Harman Pro System Architect or the Crown IQ System® . Front panel indicators shall include a yellow Bridge-Mode Indicator that illuminates when the Mode Switch is set to the "Bridge" position (and fl ashes if the Mode Switch is changed while the amplifi er is powered up, indicating that the amplifi er must be powered off and on to reset the Mode), a green Ready Indicator (one per channel) that illuminates when the channel is initialized and ready to produce audio output, a green Signal Indicator (one per channel) that illuminates to indicate the presence of input signals above -40 dBu, a red Clip Indicator that illuminates when the THD (Total Harmonic Distortion) of the channel's output signal rises to a level typically considered as the onset of audible clipping (and illuminate
