Providing systems integrators with a powerful tool for enhanced control and configuration, Crown’s Ethernet architecture allows for direct control of amplifiers unlike competitive systems requiring an additional computer interface. The application can be used to control and monitor amplifiers by setting basic control panels on an amplifier or by handling a complete setup through Harman HiQnet System Architect. The application benefits integrators deploying Crown Ethernet-enabled amplifiers including I-Tech, I-Tech HD, CTs, and Macro-Tech I Series. The app can be deployed…

Until fairly recently, the audio power amplifier was almost as synonymous for excessive heat and weight as for its primary application. This reputation was the result of early inefficient output stages. Early designs dissipated most of the power drawn from the wall as heat, which then had to be sucked away from internal electronics with large metal heat sinks. Amplifiers have never enjoyed a reputation for being particularly sexy, being largely black boxes sporting a couple of big rotary dials…
