What class are Crown amps?
Class-I
Class-I. Class-I, also known as BCA (Balanced Current Amplifier) is Crown’s patented, cutting-edge technology that gets more power out of an amplifier with less waste than was ever before possible. Class-I technology offers several key advantages.
How many power amps do I need?
Generally you should pick an amplifier that can deliver power equal to twice the speaker’s program/continuous power rating. This means that a speaker with a “nominal impedance” of 8 ohms and a program rating of 350 watts will require an amplifier that can produce 700 watts into an 8 ohm load.
Do power amps have volume control?
The controls on the power amp are not volume controls. They do adjust the “sensitivity” of the amp. At their lowest setting the amp requires the “most” input voltage to achieve a given power output. When at their max the amp requires the lowest output voltage from the pre-amp to to get that same given output.
Are Crown amps good?
No, they are too forward and have a bright sound. They also have a smeared soundstage that seems closed and unemotional with a lack of dynamic transients. You really need to spend more money on hifi amps because for every dollar spent, you get 1.5x back in fidelity amazingness. JK… they are great amps.
What is LPF on amp?
As we discussed earlier in this article, subwoofer amps typically use LPF (low pass frequency) filters to block high frequencies that should be playing through your speakers. A subsonic filter will attenuate frequencies so low that your subwoofer cannot reproduce them OR that humans are incapable of hearing.
What happens if gain is too low?
If you have your gain set too low, your amplifier will not be able to reach full power, which could allow the source unit to clip which in turn will result in a distorted signal being delivered to your speakers. This is especially relevant with low voltage sources (lower than 2.5 Volts – typically OEM units).
