Crown CTs 8200A 8-Channel Power Amplifier
ÿBuilding on the foundation of the Com-Tech Series, Crown's CTS8200A offers new flexibility and value for installed sound applications. The Com-Tech Series were the first to offer independent selection of high- and low-impedance operation for a specific channel, and CTS8200A amplifiers continue that tradition, with power levels and features carefully chosen to perfectly integrate into fixed install design requirements. The Crown CTs 8200A is an 8-channel power amplifier housed in a 3RU rack, designed for fixed installation use. The CTs 8200A features multiple simultaneous channel operation modes, 70 Volt and 100 Volt support, a switching power supply, and a variable speed fan cooling system. There is a comprehensive set of front panel indicators for each channel, along with advanced, well-designed thermal protection and fault isolation circuitry. The rear panel offers individual channel level trim controls, and 4-position operating mode switches. The CTs 8200A offers a progressive design and advanced features for a moderate price per channel, and represents a viable solution for budget-conscious commercial, theatrical, educational and houses of worship installations. ÿ Key Features:
