Crest Audio PRO SERIES 7001, 7001 Specifications
POWER AMPLIFIER
7001
Product Description
The Crest Audio 7001 power amplifier is a compact, high-power
amplifier designed to meet the stringent needs of professional use
in concert touring, high quality sound reinforcement, professional
fixed installations, and studio monitoring.
A two rack-space amplifier, the 7001 uses forced-air to cool
channel heat sinks mounted in a back-to-back tunnel configuration. Stereo, parallel, and bridged mono operating modes can be
chosen with a rear-panel Mode Select switch. An actively balanced female XLR input connection and 5-way output binding
posts are provided for each channel.
The 7001 is fully compatible with the other Crest Audio
Professional Series amplifiers, Octal Socket Accessories and the
NexSys®computer-controlled audio system.
Design and Construction
The no-compromise approach in the 7001’s electrical design and
mechanical construction provides the ultimate in reliability and
performance. Only high-grade components are used for the modular sub-assemblies in this ultra-strong, single piece steel chassis.
®
Crest Professional Series Amplifiers
are fully compatible with the NexSys
Computer-Controlled Audio system.
7001 Features
• NexSys-ready
• Toroidal power transformer
• Tunnel cooling
• Dual, variable speed DC fans
• High thermal mass heat sinks
• Balanced XLR inputs
• 5-way output binding post connectors
• Stereo/Parallel/Bridged Mono mode selector switch
• Rear panel ground lift jumper
• Extensive protection circuitry:
- Clip Limiting prevents speaker damage with gentle gain
reduction at clip threshold.
- IGM (Instantaneous Gain Modulation) monitors connected
loads to detect conditions that may overstress output
devices, allowing safe operation into nominal 2Ω impedances.
- AutoRamp gradually increases gain to attenuator setting
level when amplifier is turned on.
- Other protection circuitry: comprehensive thermal management, and short circuit, DC voltage, turn-on/off transient,
current inrush and sub/ultrasonic input protection.
• Ultra-strong, single piece steel chassis
• Octal Accessory sockets
• Recessed, stepped attenuators
• Front panel circuit breaker/power switch
• Modular construction
• Five-year warranty
(USA, Canada, U.K. & many other countries).
