Crate Amplifiers SPA-200 User Manual

Congratulations. You have selected one of the finest pieces of sound reinforcement equipment available – the Crate Pro
Audio SPA-200 Rack Mounted Amplifier. Our many years of experience in high-performance musician’s equipment, com­bined with our extensive research and development procedures, have enabled us to produce an amplifier which provides the highest quality and reliability possible.
Like all Crate products, your amplifier was Musician Made in the U.S.A., using only the finest components and materi­als. Each amplifier design must satisfy our team of highly-trained technicians and musicians before it is approved, and each individual amplifier must pass a barrage of bench tests before it leaves the factory. We insist upon this extreme level of quality control to insure that each amplifier produced will provide its owner with years of trouble-free, ear-pleasing perfor­mance.
Your new amplifier is a flexible part of any sound system: simple to connect and easy to operate, if you first know how to incorporate it into your application. Several configurations are covered in this manual, along with important information regarding impedance ratings and output power. In order to get the best performance and highest level of quality and relia-
bility from your new amplifier, please read this owner’s manual before operating the unit.
