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 owner- ship. During this time, if your unit 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 cuased 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 574-294-8200.

CTs 8200 USP/CN, CTs 4200 USP/CN specifications

Crown Audio, a well-respected name in the professional audio industry, offers a range of amplifiers tailored for various applications, including the CTs 8200 USP/CN and CTs 4200 USP/CN models. These amplifiers are designed to provide exceptional audio performance, making them ideal for commercial installations, performance venues, and other sound reinforcement applications.

The CTs 8200 boasts a robust power output of 800 watts per channel at 4 ohms, while the CTs 4200 offers 400 watts per channel at the same impedance. This difference in power makes the CTs 8200 suitable for larger venues requiring higher sound levels, whereas the CTs 4200 is perfect for smaller applications without compromising on performance.

Both models feature Crown's proprietary DriveCore technology, which integrates the amplifier's power, protection, and drive circuits into a compact solution. This innovation allows for greater efficiency and reduced size without sacrificing sound quality. The Class-D architecture ensures lightweight construction and optimal energy use, making these amplifiers highly efficient compared to traditional designs.

In terms of connectivity, both the CTs 8200 and CTs 4200 come equipped with a variety of input options, including balanced XLR and 1/4-inch inputs, allowing for seamless integration into existing audio systems. Additionally, each model features Crown's Intelli-gain technology, which automatically adjusts the amplifier's gain structure to ensure a balanced tonal response across various input levels.

One of the standout features of the CTs series is the comprehensive DSP (Digital Signal Processing) capabilities. This includes features such as parametric equalization, crossover settings, delay, and limiter functions, all of which are easily accessible through the intuitive front panel or via a computer interface. This flexibility allows audio engineers to tailor the sound to meet the specific needs of any environment or event.

Durability is another key aspect of the CTs lineup. Both amplifiers are housed in rugged yet lightweight enclosures, providing protection against physical impacts while ensuring ease of transport. The efficient cooling design with variable-speed fans helps maintain optimal operating temperatures, extending the lifespan of the equipment.

Overall, the Crown Audio CTs 8200 USP/CN and CTs 4200 USP/CN are powerful, reliable, and versatile amplifiers that cater to diverse sound reinforcement needs. Their combination of advanced technologies, user-friendly features, and robust performance make them a top choice for audio professionals seeking high-quality amplification solutions.
