Front Panel Controls and Indicators

Bridge Mode Indicator: Yellow LED illuminates

when the rear-panel Mode Switch is set to the
“Bridge” position.

Ready Indicator: Green LED, one per channel,
illuminates when the channel is initialized and
ready to produce audio output. Indicator is off
when PIP puts the amplifier in standby mode via
the control system.

Signal Indicators: Three green LEDs per chan­nel indicate the amplifier’s input and output
signal levels.

Signal: input signal is above –40 dBu.
–20 dB: amplifier output is 20 dB below clipping.
–10 dB: amplifier output is 10 dB below clipping.

Clip Indicator: Red LED, one per channel,
illuminates when the channel’s output signal
reaches the onset of audible clipping. The Clip
Indicator also will illuminate during Thermal
Level Control (TLC) limiting or when the input
compressor/limiter is protecting the amplifier
from input overload.

Thermal Indicator: Red LED, one per channel,
illuminates when the channel has shut down,
or is very near shutting down, due to thermal
stress or overload.

Fault Indicator: Red LED, one per channel,
flashes when the amplifier output channel has
stopped operating.

Data Indicator: Yellow LED indicates control
data activity (if the amplifier is equipped with
an IQ-PIP2 module, and connected to a control
system).

Power Indicator: Blue LED indicates amplifier
has been turned on and AC power is available.
The LED will flash when the AC line voltage is
15% above or 25% below the nominal rated
value.

Cooling Vents: Front-to-rear forced airflow.
Power Switch: Push-on / push-off switch.

Back Panel Controls and Connectors

Power Cord Connector: Standard 15 amp IEC

inlet. Voltage is indicated above IEC inlet.
Reset Switch: Resets the circuit breaker that

protects the power supply.
Speaker Connectors: One four-pole touch-proof

terminal strip. Accepts up to 10 AWG terminal
forks.

Input Connectors: Balanced 2-pin terminal block
connector, one per channel, on the standard
PIP2-BBY module.

Channel Level Control: One 21-position
detented rotary attenuator per channel, ranging
from minus infinity (–70 dB) to 0 dB gain.

Mode Switch: Two-position switch is used to
select the amplifier’s mode of operation: Dual or
Bridge-Mono.

Highpass Filter: One 3-position switch per
channel selects between OFF, 35Hz and 70Hz
3rd-order filters.

“Y” Input Switch: When set to ON, this switch
parallels the input signals of the two channels

Protection Systems

Thermal Level Control (TLC): If an amplifier

channel starts to overheat, the TLC circuit will
engage the input compressor. By compressing
the input, the amplifier will not generate as much
heat and will have a chance to cool down.

Junction Temperature Simulation (JTS): In the
CTs 600/1200, if excess power is demanded,
JTS circuitry limits the drive level of the output
devices to a safe range, preventing damage.

Fault: The amplifier will light the Fault LED if the
amplifier output stage stops operating.

AC Under-/Over-Voltage Protection: If the AC
line voltage drops below 25% or rises above
15% of the nominal operating voltage of the
amplifier, the amplifier’s power supply turns
off and the blue Power LED flashes. The ampli­fier will turn back on when the AC line voltage
returns to safe operating levels.

Circuit Breaker: This breaker protects the ampli­fier from excessive AC current draw.

DC Output Servo: The output servo circuit
protects your drivers by eliminating DC offset,
even in the presence of very large asymmetrical
signals.

In-rush Limiting: A soft-start circuit in the
power supply minimizes the amplifier’s current
draw during power-on.

Variable-speed Fan: Two continuously variable
speed fans direct the airflow through the ampli­fier for cooling.

Front Panel Controls and Indicators

Bridge Mode Indicator: Yellow LED, one per
channel pair, illuminates when the channel pair’s
Mode Switch is set to the “Bridge” position. If Mode
switch is changed while amplifier is powered up,
Bridge LED will flash, indicating that the amplifier
must be powered off and on to reset the Mode.

Ready Indicator: Green LED, one per channel,
illuminates when the channel is initialized and ready
to produce audio output.

rown’s CTs Multi-Channel Series offers wide flexibility for a wide range of installed sound applica-

C

tions. CTs Multi-Channel Series amplifiers offer independent selection of high- and low-impedance

operation for each channel pair, making these amps ideal for multi-zone installations.

Signal Indicator: Green LED, one per channel,
illuminates to indicate the presence of analog input
signals above –40 dBu.

Clip Indicator: Red LED, one per channel, illumi­nates when the THD of the channel’s output signal
rises to a level typically considered as the onset of
audible clipping. The Clip Indicator also will illumi­nate during Thermal Level Control (TLC) or input
overload.

Thermal Indicator: Red LED, one per channel,
flashes when a state of thermal stress or overload
has caused the channel to shut down. If the power
supply goes into thermal overload, all channel LEDs
will flash.

Fault Indicator: Red LED, one per channel, flashes
when a fault condition has occurred in the channel.

Ventilation Grille: Front-to-rear forced airflow.
Data Indicator: Yellow LED indicates IQ Loop data

activity (if the amplifier is equipped with an IQ-MC
module, and connected to an IQ Loop).

Power Indicator: Blue LED indicates amplifier has
been turned on and AC power is available. Indica­tor also flashes if the amplifier shuts off due to an
under-/over-voltage condition on the AC mains.

Power Switch: Amplifier is on when the switch is in
the IN position.

T-170V: This is an autoformer that allows 100V
output from the amplifier, and allows other ampli­fiers without direct constant voltage output to be
easily integrated into distributed systems.

TP-170V: This is a rack-mountable panel with four
autoformers as described above.

Protection Systems

Thermal Level Control (TLC): If an amplifier chan­nel starts to overheat, the TLC circuit will engage
that channel’s input compressor. By compress­ing the input, the amplifier will not generate as
much heat and will have a chance to cool down.
The degree of compression is proportional to the
amount of overheating. If the channel becomes too
hot for safe operation even after full TLC limiting,
the channel will shut off, and the Thermal Indicator
for that channel will flash brightly to alert the user
that a state of thermal stress or overload has cause
the channel to shut down.

FIT (Fault Isolation Topology): Isolates faults within
affected channels.

Fault: If an amplifier channel requires service, the
corresponding Fault indicator will illuminate to alert
the user of this condition. If this occurs, return the
amplifier to the Crown factory or to an authorized
Crown service center.

High-Pass Filter: A fixed 35-Hz (70-Hz in CTs 4200)
high-pass filter per channel pair is automatically
inserted when the mode switch is set to either of
the constant-voltage settings. The high-pass filter
corner frequency in the CTs 8200 can be set to 70
Hz, or bypassed, with a service option.

AC Under-/Over-Voltage Protection: If the AC
line voltage varies out of an acceptable range, the
amplifier’s power supply turns off and the blue
Power LED flashes. The amplifier will turn back on
when the AC line voltage returns to safe operating
levels.

VCA-MC4A & VCA-MC8

 FEATURES

• Independent remote level control for each chan­nel.

1-VCAP & 4-VCAP

 FEATURES

• 1-VCAP provides remote volume control for one
or more CTs amplifier channels.

• Fits into a 1-gang electrical box.

• 4-VCAP provides remote volume control for
four or more CTs amplifier channels.

• Fits into a 2-gang electrical box.

Wall-Mount Controllers

Crown VCAP panels are wall-mounted panels
with potentiometers that provide remote control
of the volume of Crown CTs amplifier channels
via a VCA-MC4 or VCA-MC8 module installed in
the amplifier. Two models are available: 1-VCAP
and 4-VCAP.

1-VCAP: Used in conjunction with a VCA-MC
module, this is a 1-gang panel with one poten­tiometer that provides remote volume control
for one or more CTs amplifier channels. The
potentiometer on the panel is wired directly
to the VCA connectors on the VCA-MC.

4-VCAP: This is a 2-gang panel with four poten­tiometers that provide remote volume control
for four or more CTs amplifier channels. The
potentiometers on the panel are wired directly
to the VCA connectors on the VCA-MC.

• 4-pin removable Phoenix-style barrier con­nectors provide the +10VDC control voltage,
ground, and control lines for two amplifier
channels.

• Optional wall-mount level control panels for use
with VCA modules: 1-VCAP and 4-VCAP.

Remote Level Control

The Crown VCA-MC4A and VCA-MC8 are optional
level-control modules for the Crown CTs multi-chan­nel power amplifiers. The VCA-MC4A is for the CTs
4200, and the VCA-MC8 is for the CTs 8200.

A VCA-MC module provides independent remote
level control for each channel. 4-pin removable
Phoenix-style barrier connectors provide the
+10VDC control voltage, ground, and control lines
for two amplifier channels. Thus, the 4-channel
CTs 4200 uses two connectors; the 8-channel CTs
8200 uses four connectors. Crown CTs 4200 and
8200 amplifiers can be supplied with a VCA-MC
module already factory-installed, or your choice of
MC modules can be easily added to the amplifier
by any authorized Crown Service Center.
