Harman Professional distributor Audio Pro Heilbronn has confirmed the sale of 56 Crown Audio I-Tech HD amplifiers to German touring company TDA Rental GmbH.
Divided between 32 I-Tech 5000HD and 24 I-Tech 9000-HD, the sale adds a further 376,000 watts of amplification power to the company’s inventory.
”These are great amps, delivering a powerful sound, with a superb sounding DSP,” states TDA Owner Stefan Todeskino.
Todeskino specifically notes the flexibility of the I-Tech HD amplifiers, enabling them to be used with all loudspeaker types and in various applications. He adds that control is made easy with Harman HiQnet System Architect software.
Todeskino, who has a strong relationship with Audio Pro for sales and service, explains the decision to purchase I-Tech HD: “We started off with a bunch of (Crown) Micro-Tech 1200s, which are still used in some rare applications, and later bought Macro-Techs and I-Techs.”
In fact, TDA has been using Crown amplifiers since the company’s inception in 1986. The company has also invested elsewhere in Harman Pro equipment, including Soundcraft Vi6 consoles to service regular accounts such as Joe Cocker, Scorpions, Willy de Ville, well-known German band Wir sind Helden, Deep Purple, Guano Apes, Sisters of Mercy, Nickelback and The Cure. TDA also has a roster of industrial and corporate clients, including Panasonic, Daimler Chrysler, Sony and Coca Cola.
Comments Audio Pro Product Manager Carsten Peter, “We are delighted that TDA has chosen to continue its long relationship with Crown amplifiers. TDA is an important partner for us, as the company is regarded as one of the best touring and rental companies in Germany. Many international artists and global players in the industry have come to rely on the technical service of the company for their tours, concerts and events.”
I-Tech HD features a new user-inspired DSP engine co-developed with BSS called OMNIDRIVEHD. The new processing engine includes Linear Phase FIR filters that offer premium crossover performance for sonically pure tunings. The OMNIDRIVEHD processing engine also features a new suite of limiters called LevelMAX.
