RAM CB series – 2×560 Watt Amplifier

CB Series ?  CB 1402
Rugged Power Amplifier

Presentation
The CB Series is a medium cost ensemble of amplifiers covering the most used power specifications. The four offered models share the well proven RAM Audio topology for ease of servicing.

The latest breakthrough in component assembly and manufacturing processes are present in this new Series.

All the models are equipped with high efficiency toroidal transformers and long life capacitors in a common, sturdy two U steel chassis.

The sum of these specs put them on the front row of cost/effectiveness for all fixed and mobile uses.

Crownʼs new CTs series of power amplifiers are remarkable for their loud, punchy sound; sustained, tight bass; and superior protection against overheating and overload. This paper explains the design features behind those advantages. After reading this information, youʼll know why Crown CTs amps sound better than the competition. CTs amplifiers can provide large amounts of power into various loads, such as 2, 4, 8 ohms and 70V. With most power amps, the maximum output power tends to drop as the load impedance increases. But with the CTs series, the power stays the same at almost any impedance. 2-ohm Dual (per Ch.) 250W 4-ohm Dual (per Ch.) 600W 8-ohm Dual (per Ch.) 600W 16-ohm Dual (per Ch.) 300W 70V Dual (per Ch.) 600W 4-ohm Bridge 500W 8-ohm Bridge 1200W 16-ohm Bridge 1200W 140V Bridge 1200W Crown switching power supply for less weight Sustained Power on long-duration signals due to regulated, "stiff” power supplies with incredible energy storage (huge filter capacitors). Extra Hidden Power during high-level transients and during incomplete use of all the channels. Overheating and overload protection thanks to the sophisticated TLC circuitry which compresses the signal only when needed. Compression is controlled not by temperature, but by signal voltage. This keeps the loudness up during compression more than with competitive amps.
