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.

Crown’s CTs Series amplifiers provide exceptional performance, flexibility and value for installed sound applications. CTs Series amplifiers feature independent selection of high and low impedance operation for a specific channel, plus power levels and features that were carefully chosen to match the requirements of fixed install design. Easy integration with HiQnet™ and CobraNet™ allows CTs amplifiers to deliver a comprehensive lineup of monitoring and control features along with digital audio

transport for an award-winning digital audio solution.

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 for use when the input signal is mono. Also can be used to daisy-chain the signal to another amplifier.

Ventilation Grille: Front-to-rear forced airflow.

Options

PIP2 modules, including the PIP-Lite, PIP-USP3, and PIP-USP3/CN.

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.

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.

Back Panel Controls and Connectors

AC Power Cord Connector: IEC inlet, type 320; 100/120VAC units: 15A;

220/230/240VAC units: 10A. Voltage is indicated above IEC inlet.

Accessory Panel: CTs 4200 accepts an optional VCA-MC4A module. CTs 8200 accepts an optional VCA-MC8 module.

Channel Level Controls: One 21-position detented rotary potentiometer per channel, ranging from infinity (–70 dB) to 0 dB attenuation.

Input Connectors: Removable Phoenix-style barrier connectors for balanced input. Also can be used as a CobraNet input or a backup for CobraNet.

Mode Switch: Used on each consecutive pair of channels, this four-position switch is used to select the amplifier’s mode of operation: Dual 8/4 ohms, Dual 70V, Bridge-Mono 16/8 ohms, and BridgeMono 100V.

Cooling Vents: Front-to-rear forced airflow.

Options

Control Modules: VCA-MC4A: VCA module for CTs 4200A. VCA-MC8: VCA module for CTs 8200.

Wall-mount level control panels for use with VCA module: 1-VCAP: Single-gang panel with 1 VCA channel volume control. 4-VCAP: Two-gang panel with 4 VCA channel volume controls.

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.
