The movie theater has become
the center of our social community
and our memories. They have been
transformed from a single screen to a
multi-screen complex. Maintaining the
smooth operation of all the systems
has become demanding. Every movie
theater needs to provide the audience
with a seamless experience on each visit to create loyal customers. Crown now
introduces CXM2000, a device used to
ensure that every customer leaves the
theater with a smile (or a tear if it is a
French movie).
Crown® CXM2000 is a Cinema Monitor and Crossover System. With the
CXM2000, audiences can enjoy wonderful sound from JBL cinema speakers. It also allows for either processor
input signal or amplifier output signal
monitoring, which immediately indicates when a signal path has a problem.
All necessary controls for daily operation of the CXM2000 are easily accessible on the front panel. This device will
significantly improve the speaker audio
performance and offer peace of mind in
the operation of a theater system.

Crown’s Three-Year, No-Fault, Fully Transferable
Warranty
Crown offers a Three-Year, No-Fault, Fully Transferable Warranty for every new Crown amplifier—an unsurpassed industry standard. With this unprecedented No-Fault protection,
your new Crown amplifier is warranted to meet or exceed
original specifications for the first three years of ownership.
During this time, if your amplifier fails, or does not perform
to original specifications, 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 amplifier. See your authorized Crown
dealer for full warranty disclosure and details.
For customers outside of the USA, please contact your authorized Crown distributor for warranty information or call
