1.2 How to Use This Manual

This manual provides you with the necessary information to safely and correctly setup and operate your amplifier. It does not cover every aspect of installation, setup or operation that might occur under every condition. For additional information, please consult Crown’s Amplifier Application Guide (available online at www.crownaudio.com), Crown Technical Support, your system installer or retailer. We strongly recommend you read all instructions, warnings and cautions contained in this manual. Also, for your protection, please send in your warranty registration card today. And save your bill of sale — it’s your official proof of purchase. page 6

Please unpack and inspect your amplifier for any damage that may have occurred during transit. If damage is found, notify the transportation company immediately. Only you can initiate a claim for shipping damage. Crown will be happy to help as needed. Save the shipping carton as evidence of damage for the shipper’s inspection. We also recommend that you save all packing materials so you will have them if you ever need to transport the unit. Never ship the unit without the factory pack.

• Rack for mounting amplifier (or a stable surface for stacking)

WARNING: Before you start to set up

your amplifier, make sure you read and observe the Important Safety Instructions found at the beginning of this manual. Operation Manual

CAUTION: Before you begin, make sure your amplifier is disconnected from the power source, with the power switch in the “off” position and all level controls turned completely down (counterclockwise). Use a standard 19-inch (48.3 cm) equipment rack (EIA RS-310B). See Figure 2.1 for amplifier dimensions. You may also stack amps without using a cabinet. NOTE: When transporting, amplifiers should be supported at both front and back.

2.3 Ensure Proper Cooling

When using an equipment rack, mount units directly on top of each other. Close any open spaces in rack with blank panels. DO NOT block front or rear air vents. The back of the rack should be open. Figure 2.2 illustrates standard amplifier airflow.

and Connectors Crown recommends using pre-built or professionally wired balanced line (two-conductor plus shield), 22-24 gauge cables and connectors. At the amplifier inputs, use Phoenix-style connectors (see Figure 2.3). Unbalanced lines may be used, but may result in hum or RF noise over long cable runs. NOTE: Custom wiring should only be performed by qualified personnel.

2.5 Choose Output Wire and Connectors

Crown recommends using pre-built or professionally wired, high-quality, two-conductor, heavy gauge speaker wire and connectors. You can use spade lugs or bare wire for your output connectors (Figure 2.4). To prevent the possibility of short-circuits, wrap or otherwise insulate exposed loudspeaker cable connectors. Using the guidelines below, select the appropriate size of wire based on the distance from amplifier to speaker. Distance Wire Size

Typical input and output wiring is shown in Figure

Typical input and output wiring is shown in Figure 2.6.

2.7 Connect to AC Mains

Connect your amplifier to the AC mains power source (power outlet) with the supplied AC power cordset. First, connect the IEC end of the cordset to the IEC connector on the amplifier; then, plug the other end of the cordset to the AC mains.

WARNING: The third prong of this connector

(ground) is an important safety feature. Do not attempt to disable this ground connection by using an adapter or other methods.

It’s wise to avoid clipping the amplifier signal. Not only does clipping sound bad, it can damage high-frequency drivers. The built-in clip limiter prevents clipping. Also, avoid sending strong subsonic signals to the amplifier. High-level, low-frequency signals from breath pops or dropped microphones can blow out drivers. To prevent subsonic signals, use the amplifier’s DSP to insert a highpass filter (see Section 4.1.6). Alternatively, switch in highpass filters at your mixer. Set the filter to as high a frequency as possible that does not affect your program. For example, try 35 Hz for music and 75 Hz for speech. On each mixer input channel, set the filter frequency just below the lowest fundamental frequency of that channel’s instrument. Operation Manual Mode d’emploi

Use the following procedure when first turning on your amplifier:

1. Turn down the level of your audio source.

2. Turn down the level controls of the amplifier.

3. Turn on the “Power” switch. The Power

indicator should glow.

4. Turn up the level of your audio source to an

5. Turn up the Level controls on the amplifier until

the desired loudness or power level is achieved. NOTE: In Bridge-Mono mode, only the Channel 1 Level control is functional (except for CH1 + CH2 Input Y mode).

6. Turn down the level of your audio source to its

normal range. If you ever need to make any wiring or installation changes, don’t forget to disconnect the power cord. For help with determining your system’s optimum gain structure (signal levels) please refer to the Crown Amplifier Application Guide, available online at www.crownaudio.com. page 14

Your amplifier is protected from internal and external faults, but you should still take the following precautions for optimum performance and safety:

1. Before use, your amplifier first must be configured

for proper operation, including input and output wiring hookup. Improper wiring can result in serious operating difficulties. For information on wiring and configuration, please consult the Setup section of this manual or, for advanced setup techniques, consult Crown’s Amplifier Application Guide available online at www.crownaudio.com.

2. Use care when making connections, selecting

signal sources and controlling the output level. The load you save may be your own!

3. Do not short the ground lead of an output cable to

the input signal ground. This may form a ground loop and cause oscillations.

4. WARNING: Never connect the output to a

power supply, battery or power main. Electrical shock may result.

5. Tampering with the circuitry, or making

unauthorized circuit changes may be hazardous and invalidates all agency listings.

6. Do not operate the amplifier with the red Clip LEDs

constantly flashing.

7. Do not overdrive the mixer, which will cause

clipped signal to be sent to the amplifier. Such signals will be reproduced with extreme accuracy, and loudspeaker damage may result.

8. Do not operate the amplifier with less than the

rated load impedance. Due to the amplifier’s output protection, such a configuration may result in premature clipping and speaker damage. Remember: Crown is not liable for damage that results from overdriving other system components.

9. Crown CDi amplifiers can directly drive 70V/highZ loads. To configure your amplifier for this mode of

operation, see Section 4.1.6.

3.2 Front Panel Controls and Indicators

On/off switch applies AC power to the amplifier.

3.2 Front Panel Controls and Indicators

Connectors J. AC Line Connector NEMA 5-15P (15A).

Your Crown amplifier provides extensive protection and diagnostic capabilities, including output current limiting, microprocessor-controlled DC protection, and special thermal protection for the unit’s transformers and output devices.

Output Current Limiting circuitry protects the amplifier output stage from damage caused by short-circuit loads.

DC Protection shuts down the amplifier in the event of an output DC offset exceeding 2V. In the majority of cases, DC protection is indicative of a faulty amplifier channel, and will be accompanied by an illuminated red Clip LED, even with no input connected and level controls set at minimum (Figure 4.1). If this is the case, contact your dealer or service center.

The Thermal Protection circuit will activate if the internal heatsink temperature exceeds proper operating temperatures (176°F, 80°C). When the heatsink temperature has fallen to a safe level, this protection circuit will automatically be reset. Principal causes of thermal protection are:

1) Inadequate ventilation of the equipment rack

3) Output cable short circuit

5) Heatsinks in need of cleaning

6) Cooling fan failure.

The cause of your amplifier’s thermal protection state should be determined and corrected as soon as possible. Without correction, the Thermal Protection circuit will typically reactivate. Figure 4.1 Figure 4.1 DC Protection Protection CC Abb. 4.1 Gleichstromschutz page 20

4.1.4 Non-Touch Cover

Located over the amplifier output terminals, this included accessory provides a shock-proof cover for the output terminals.

1. Remove the screw holding the cover onto the amplifier

back panel, and remove the cover. Keep the screw.

2. The cover has two tabs A and B (Figure 4.2). Insert tab A

into the slot just to the left of the output terminals (Figure 4.3).

3. Put the screw through tab B, and screw it into the hole

just to the right of the output terminals (Figure 4.3).

4.1.5 Attenuator Security Covers

The included attenuator security covers (Figure 4.4) can replace the existing level-control knobs so that the amplifier output level cannot be changed. The knobs snap into the front panel.

OVERVIEW Figure 4.5 shows the LCD screen and the three Menu navigation buttons: Sel/Enter, Prev/Up and Next/ Down. These buttons let you step through the menu items displayed on the screen. You can configure USER PRESETS with your own settings. When you power off and back on, your settings will be as they were when you shut off the amplifier. However, if you recall a user preset, all its DSP will be off– unless you had saved the preset using System Architect software (a free download from www. harmanpro.com). Any custom settings can’t be saved by the front panel display, only by System Architect software. The ICONS in the display illuminate to show which DSP functions are currently in use for each preset. You can select the presets with the LCD screen and Menu navigation buttons.
