CTs Series 2-channel

uilding on the foundation of the Crown® BCom-Tech®Series, the CTs Series offers new

flexibility and value for installed sound appli- cations. The Com-Tech Series was the first to offer independent selection of high- and low-impedance operation for a specific channel, and CTs Series amplifiers continue that tradition, with power levels and features carefully chosen to perfectly integrate into fixed install design requirements. For added flexibility, the CTs Series includes both dual-channel and multi-channel models.

All models in the CTs Series feature Crown’s new Switching Power Supply for lighter weight, and all models are also compatible with Harman Pro System Architect as well as the IQ System®. Two-channel models accept PIP2™ modules, and also feature selectable high-pass filters and input sensitivity for each channel.

In a profession where unplanned service calls quickly wipe out profits, the CTs Series amplifiers are designed to be the most reliable amplifiers you can install.
