Architect’s & Engineer’s Specifications
The power amplifier shall consist of 2 channels and deliver
a minimum of 3500 watts at 2 ohms, 5000 watts at 1 ohms;
per channel, both channels driven, 20Hz-20kHz, <0.1%
THD+N. In bridged mode, it shall deliver a minimum of
7000 watts at 4 ohms, and a minimum of 10,000 watts at 2
ohms, 20 Hz-20kHz, <0.1% THD+N.
The amplifier shall be rear-to-front tunnel-cooled, with a
variable-speed DC fan.
The amplifier shall have circuitry to protect itself and the
speaker load from output short circuits, DC voltage on out-
puts, and thermal overload. It shall have RMS clip limiting
and impedance sensing circuitry. Output relays shall pro-
tect the speakers from any type of amplifier failure.
In stereo or parallel operation, the amplifier shall have a
voltage gain of X40 with an input sensitivity of 2.23V for
rated power at 4 ohms. The hum and noise level shall be
greater than 100 dB below rated output, “A” weighted.
Intermodulation distortion shall be less than 0.02% from
250 milliwatts to full rated power. The amplifier shall have
a class H output stage with a modulated power supply. The
frequency response shall be greater than 20Hz-20kHz, +0,
-.3dB (1W/8Ω).
The amplifier shall operate at either 100, 120, 220, or 240
volts, 50-60 Hz AC (configured at factory). Maximum cur-
rent draw at 120V shall be no greater than 35.6A per line
cord, both channels driven continuously into 2 ohm resis-
tance.
The amplifier front panel shall include Active, Temp/DC,
Signal Present and Clip/Limit LED indicators for each
channel, two combination power switch/magnetic circuit
breakers and recessed and detented gain pots.
Rear panel input connectors shall be XLR type, one female
per channel. Output connectors shall be single screw sol-
derless copper lug type, two per channel. A signal/ground
lift jumper shall be provided.
The amplifier shall have two (2) three-conductor AC power
cords.
The packaging of the amplifier shall allow for standard
rack mounting without requiring space between similar
units. Dimensions shall be 19" (483mm) wide, 7" (178mm)
high and 20.5"(521mm) deep. It shall weigh 137lbs.
(62.20kg) net. The amplifier shall be designated the Crest
Audio Model 10001.
