Operation Manual

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 hazard-
ous and invalidates all agency listings, and 
may also void the product’s warranty.

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.

Use caution when operating the amplifier 
with a 2-ohm load impedance on 1 channel. 
Do not operate the amplifier with less than a 
2-ohm load impedance per channel when 
driving more than 1 channel. Due to the 
amplifier’s output protection, such a config-
uration may result in premature clipping, 
speaker damage or a blown power fuse. 

Remember: Crown is not liable for damage that 
results from overdriving other system compo-
nents.

4.1 Precautions

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

1.

Before use, your amplifier first must be con-
figured 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, select-
ing signal sources and controlling the out-
put 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.
