TOURCLASS/PROTECTION CIRCUITS

ACL™ (Active Clip Limiting) prevents speaker damage by

providing gentle gain reduction when the signal approaches the
clipping threshold.

IGM™ (Instantaneous Gain Modulation) monitors speaker
loads to detect conditions that may overstress output devices. This
allows safe operation into nominal 2Ω speaker loads.

AUTORAMP™ gradually increases gain to the attenuator level
settings when the amplifier is turned on. This prevents abrupt turn-on
level.

Other protection features include: short circuit, DC voltage,
comprehensive thermal management and current in-rush turn-on/off;
transient sub-sonic input.

DESCRIPTION

Crest Audio Pro 200 Series amplifiers are designed to achieve
unsurpassed sonic performance and long-term reliability under
extreme stress in touring or fixed installation applications.

Absolute sonic accuracy is the hallmark of every Crest
amplifier. Bass is solid and defined to the limits of audibility
with ample current reserves. Wide-bandwidth output devices
ensure detailed, transparent high frequency response. And,
thanks to Crest’s exclusive IGM™ circuit, the Pro 200 Series

will drive 2Ω loads safely without compromising performance.

Architects’ & Engineers’ Specifications:

The power amplifier shall consist of 2 channels. Each channel will delver a minimum of (290 / 590 / 825 / 1300) watts at 8 ohms, (525 / 1000 / 1450 / 2200) watts at 4 ohms, (850 / 1650 / 2250
/ 3250) watts at 2 ohms, 20 Hz – 20 kHz. In Bridged mono mode, it will deliver a minimum of (1050 / 2000 / 2900 / 4400) at 8 ohms, (1700 / 3300 / 4500 / 6500) at 4 ohms, 20Hz – 20 kHz. It
shall weigh 24 lbs. The amplifier shall incorporate protection circuitry against output short circuits, DC voltage on outputs, thermal overload and load protection due to any form of amp failure. It
will include impedance sensing circuitry, a RMS clip limiter and Autoramp signal control. The amplifier shall have a sensitivity of 1.12 / 1.58 / 1.87 / 2.35 volts (x40) at the input, which will deliver full
rated output power in any output configuration. Gain can be changed to x20. The hum and noise level shall be greater than (-110 dB / -110 dB / -110 dB / -113 dB) “A” weighted. The amplifier
shall have a class (A / B, H, H, H) output stage with a switch power supply. The frequency response shall be greater than 10 Hz – 100 kHz +0, -2 dB at1 watt at full rated output power @ 4
ohms .05% THD. The amplifier will operate at either 120 VAC, 60 Hz (safe operating range 100-132 VAC) or at 230 VAC, 50 Hz (safe operating range 200-264), voltage selection determined at
factory. Maximum current draw at 120 V shall be no greater then 30amps, both channels driven continuously into a 2 ohm load at 1/8 power. Front panel indicators shall include LED indicators
