he Crown
are high-value amplifi ers for commercial and
T
industrial audio. They provide 4-ohm and
constant-voltage outputs (70V and 100V). The
660A, a six-channel amplifi er, provides 4-ohm
and constant-voltage outputs (70V and 100V)
on channels 1 through 4, and 4-ohm outpus on
channels 5 and 6. The amps are part of Crown’s
Commercial Audio Series, which also includes
mixers and mixer-amps. These low-cost units
provide all necessary features in a simple building-block format.
The amplifi ers vary in their number of inputs,
number of outputs, and power range:
• 180A has 1 input and one 80W power amplifi er
for single-zone systems.
• 280A has 2 inputs and dual 80W power amplifi ers for two-zone systems.
• 1160A has 1 input and one 160W power amplifi er for single-zone systems.
• 660A has six inputs and six 60W power amplifi er channels for multi-zone systems. It can drive
different types of speakers in different areas of a
facility.
Some applications include schools, hospitals,
factories, restaurant/retail, houses of worship,
fi tness facilities, A/V boardrooms, prisons, and
small offi ces. Typical uses are paging, background
music, security and evacuation instructions.
The sound system can be upgraded as a facility
expands. For example, you can add more mixers
for more inputs, or add more power amps (or
mixer-amps) to handle more zones.

Crown’s Three-Year, No-Fault, Fully Transferable Warranty
Crown offers a Three-Year, No-Fault, Fully Transferable Warranty for every new Crown amplifi er-—an
unsurpassed industry standard. With this unprecedented No-Fault protection, your new Crown amplifi er
is warranted to meet or exceed original specifi cations for the fi rst three years of ownership. During this
time, if your amplifi er fails, or does not perform to original specifi cations, it will be repaired or replaced
at our expense. About the only things not covered by this warranty are those losses normally covered by
insurance and those caused by intentional abuse. And the coverage is transferable, should you sell your
amplifi er.
See your authorized Crown dealer for full warranty disclosure and details. For customers outside of the
