The Crown CTS8200 Multi-Channel Power Amplifier 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 CTS8200 amplifiers continue that tradition, with power levels and features carefully chosen to perfectly integrate into fixed install design requirements. For added flexibility, the CTS8200 includes both dual-channel and multi-channel model.
The CTS8200 feature Crown’s new Switching Power Supply for lighter weight, and all models are also compatible with the IQ System®. Multi-channel models accept an VCA-MC accessory module that allows remote VCA volume control. The CTS8200 multi-channel amps feature FIT (Fault Isolation Topology), which isolates channel-specific faults and prevents them from affecting remaining channels. If a CTS8200 multi-channel amp is powering multiple zones, and a channel fails, the other zones continue to operate. In a profession where unplanned service calls quickly wipe out profits, the CTS8200 amplifiers are designe
CROWN CTS8200 PRODUCT FEATURES
New Crown Switching Power Supply for reduced weight
High power-density, with four channels in a 3U chassis
Selectable constant-voltage (70V/100V) or low impedance (4/8 ohm) operation for each channel pair (channel pair must be operated in Bridge mode for 100V output)
FIT (Fault Isolation Topology) circuitry isolates faults within affected channels
TLC protection circuitry protects the amplifier from excessive heat by subtly and dynamically reducing the gain only when necessary to reduce heat levels
Accepts VCA-MC accessory module that allows remote VCA volume control
Comprehensive array of indicators including Power and Data, along with Bridge, Ready, Signal, Clip, Thermal and Fault for each channel, provide accurate diagnostics
Blue Power Indicator fl ashes if the amplifier shuts off due to an under/over voltage condition on the AC mains
Advanced protection circuitry guards against: shorted outputs, open circuits, DC, mismatched loads, general overheating, under-/over-voltage, high-frequency overloads and internal faults
Proven Crown AB+B Multi-Mode® output topology
Continuously-variable fans optimize cooling efficiency
