Crown Audio IT12000HD – I-Tech HD Series 4500W/Channel @ 4Ohms Power Amplifier

Description

The Crown Audio IT12000HD is a high-performance power amplifier designed for professional applications. The amplifier has a sleek rackmount enclosure packed with innovative technologies that provide world-class performance and ease-of-use. Patented Class-I circuitry provides efficient use of power to keep current draw low while still providing powerful audio output.

Onboard OmniDrive HD DSP processing is built-in and uses 24-bit/192kHz Cirrus Logic A/D and D/A converters, along with FIR and IIR filters for a high level of audio performance. A front-panel USB port allows you to easily transfer DSP settings from a computer to the amplifier. For connection to virtually any sound system, the amp sports analog and digital XLR inputs and outputs, as well as Speakon and Binding Post outputs. An Ethernet port supports TCP/IQ, HiQnet, and CobraNet, and is compatible with standard 100Mb Ethernet hardware.

The amplifier is kept cool by variable-speed fans with a front-to-back airflow to keep system components running reliably. Other useful features of the amplifier include Sweep Load Monitoring with system-level diagnostics, a bright LCD screen for easy navigation, and a true global power supply, allowing you to operate at full power no matter where you go.
