1 Welcome

Crown's Micro-Tech 600, 1200 and 2400 are 
the original industry standards for touring 
amplifiers. Micro-Tech amplifiers are known 
around the world as the benchmark for high-
density, ultra-pure power in a compact, light-
weight package. In addition, each model gives 
you Crown's legendary 

ODEP

®

 protection to 

keep the show going long after other amplifiers 
would fail. 

Models MT-601, 1201 and 2401(for Japan) are 
identical to corresponding models MT-600, 
1200 and 2400.

Modern power amplifiers are sophisticated 
pieces of engineering capable of producing 
extremely high power levels. They must be 
treated with respect and correctly installed if 
they are to provide the many years of reliable 
service for which they were designed.

In addition, the Micro-Tech amplifiers include a 
number of features which require some expla-
nation before they can be used to their maxi-
mum advantage.

Please take the time to study this manual so 
that you can obtain the best possible service 
from your amplifier.

1.1 Features

•

Grounded Bridge

™ design delivers 

incredible voltage swings without stress-
ing output transistors.  This results in sig-
nificantly lower distortion and superior 
reliability.

•

Patented ODEP

®

 (Output Device Emula-

tion Protection) circuitry compensates for 
overheating and overload to keep the 
amplifier working.

•

High damping factor provides superior 

motion control over low-frequency drivers 
for clean, accurate low end.

•

Two mono modes (Bridge-Mono and Par-

allel-Mono) for driving a wide range of 
load impedances.

•

Full protection against shorted outputs, 

open circuits, DC, mismatched loads, 
general overheating, high-frequency over-
loads and internal faults.

1.2 Unpacking Your Amplifier

Please unpack and inspect your amplifier for 
any damage that may have occurred during 
transit. If damage is found, notify the transpor-
tation company immediately. Only you can ini-
tiate 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.
