CROWN CTS-8200 8X200W AMPLIFIER

Crown CTs8200 Amplifier Built on the foundation of the Com-Tech series, Crown's CTs Series
offers new flexibility and value for installed sound applications. The Com-Tech Series were the
first to offer independent selection of high- and low-impedance operation for a specific channel,
and CTs Series amplifiers continue that tradition, with power levels and features carefully chosen
to perfectly integrate into fixed install design requirements.

Performance: Frequency Response (at 1 watt, 20Hz - 20 kHz) ±0.5 dB, Phase Response
(at 1 watt, 10Hz - 20 kHz) ±20°, Signal to Noise Ratio below rated power (20 Hz to 20 kHz)
100 dB un-weighted, Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) at 1 watt, from 20 Hz to 20 kHz, 80 dB,
Common Mode Rejection (CMR) (20 Hz to 1 kHz) >50 dB, DC Output Offset (Shorted input)

The C 16:4 is one of two mid-power, four-channel amplifiers in the C Series family. Attractively packaged in a 2U chassis, it provides 4 × 400 W output into 4 ohm loads.

C Series amplifiers are uniquely capable of adapting to a wide variety of demanding load conditions. Each channel has an individually configurable Voltage Peak Limiter (VPL™), which allows the output to be optimized for any loudspeaker load – whether a single large subwoofer or a series of small 100/70 V loudspeakers. VPL works in combination with adjustable input gain to achieve maximum headroom regardless of input levels or output impedances.

Every C Series is ready for the NomadLink® network right out of the box. With NomadLink, key amplifier parameters are displayed via DeviceControl software, and remote control of channel mutes and power on/off is under network control.

Note 1): Automatic -6 dB gain compensation when bridging channels. Ch.’s A+B and/or C+D, can be bridged individually.
Note 2): PAL can reduce the maximum output power to keep the power supply operating safely, and/or to prevent excessive current draw tripping the mains breaker.
Refer to Operation Manual.
Note 3): For sine waves, peak voltage output values translate to Vrms with the formula V/1.41 = Vrms. E.g. 100 V peak equals app. 70 Vrms.
Hence, outputs can be set for high-impedance loads without requiring a transformer.
