LPS SERIES

The LPS Series of power amplifiers from Crown® represents a new era in afford- able, quality power amplification. All three

models in the series are powerful, rugged and reliable. They are suited for applications such as churches, concert tours, stages, disco, pubs, or any place that requires amplifier installation.

The three models in the series are the LPS- 800, LPS-1500 and LPS-2500. They are identi- cal except for output power.

Features include XLR inputs, Speakon® and binding post outputs, stereo/parallel/bridge- mono mode, power/fault/signal presence/clip indicators, forced-air cooling; and protection against shorts, no-load, on/off thumps and radio-frequency interference. Every LPS Series amplifier is backed by a one-year limited war- ranty.

With over six decades of experience designing and building rock-solid products, Crown is the standard in amplifier technology. So check out the affordable Crown LPS Series. They are a powerful argument for quality and value!
