Crestron AMP-2210S/3210S Commercial Power Amplifiers
Commercial Power Amplifiers,
4/8: AMP-2210S/3210S
Introduction
Crestron® AMP-series Commercial Power Amplifiers provide a perfect combination
of high output and efficiency for all types of professional audio applications. 100%
Crestron engineered and built, these amplifiers are ENERGY STAR
enable organizations to fulfill their green initiatives without compromising audio
performance. Advanced design features include a high efficiency amp topology with
active power factor corrected power supply, delivering a generous amount of power
in a space saving 1U rack-mountable chassis.
The AMP-2210S provides two channels of amplification (the AMP-3210S provides
three). Each channel is rated for 210W @ 4Ω or 120W @ 8Ω, and channels 1 and 2
may be bridged together to deliver a robust 420W @ 8Ω to a single load.
The AMP-2210S and AMP-3210S are functionally identical. For simplicity within
this guide, the term “AMP2210S/3210S” is used except where noted.

Setup
Installation
Ventilation
Rack Mounting
The AMP-2210S/3210S should be used in a well-ventilated area. The venting holes
should not be obstructed under any circumstances.
To prevent overheating, do not operate this product in an area that exceeds the
environmental temperature range listed in the table of specifications. Consider using
forced air ventilation and/or incrementing the spacing between units to reduce
overheating. Consideration must be given if installed in a closed or multi-unit rack
assembly since the operating ambient temperature of the environment may be greater
than the room ambient temperature. Contact with thermal insulating materials should
be avoided on all sides of the unit.
The AMP-2210S/3210S can be mounted in a rack or stacked with other equipment.
Two “ears” are provided with the AMP-2210S/3210S so that the unit can be rack
mounted. These ears must be installed prior to mounting. Complete the following
procedure to attach the ears to the unit. The only tool required is a #1 or #2 Phillips
screwdriver.
WARNING: To prevent bodily injury when mounting or servicing this unit in a
rack, take special precautions to ensure that the system remains stable. The following
guidelines are provided to ensure your safety:
When mounting this unit in a partially filled rack, load the rack from the
bottom to the top with the heaviest component at the bottom of the rack.
If the rack is provided with stabilizing devices, install the stabilizers before
mounting or servicing the unit in the rack.
NOTE: If rack mounting is not required, rubber feet are provided for tabletop
mounting or stacking. Apply the feet near the corner edges on the underside of the
unit.
NOTE: Reliable earthing of rack-mounted equipment should be maintained.
Particular attention should be given to supply connections other than direct
connections to the branch circuit (e.g. use of power strips).
To install the ears:
1. There are screws that secure each side of the AMP-2210S/3210S top cover.
Using a #1 or #2 Phillips screwdriver, remove the three screws closest to
the front panel from one side of the unit. Refer to the diagram following
step 3 for a detailed view.
2. Position a rack ear so that its mounting holes align with the holes vacated
by the screws in step 1.
3. Secure the ear to the unit with three screws from step 1, as shown in the
Crestron AMP-2210S/3210S Commercial Power Amplifiers
