document What gauge speaker wire should I use in my system?
For the best speaker damping and least amount of power loss you will want to use the heaviest gauge that is practical. The length of the speaker wire...
document How do I wire my Speakon connector?
Some Crown amplifiers feature Neutrik Speakon connectors for output wiring. Speakons allow both channels of amplifier output to be wired to the...
document Should I have the level controls on my amplifier turned all the way up?
It depends on the system and how much gain you have prior to the amplifier. The level control can be thought of as an input attenuator. It does...
document How can I get rid of the noise in my system?
First let us lay some groundwork: audio systems can exhibit "hum" and they can exhibit "buzz," which are two separate...
document How do I determine the best input sensitivity setting?
The input sensitivity setting is a function of amplifier gain. You will want to match it with the output level of whatever is before the amp in the...
document Should I use Bridge Mono or Parallel Mono?
Generally, the deciding factor to this dilemma is the total speaker load impedance you wish to drive. With Micro-Tech and Macro-Tech amplifiers you...
document Please explain mixer connections, equalizers, compressors, and groups.
We were just gifted a very nice sound-mixing board and I am in charge of it. While I can handle the basics I would like a good resource where I can...
document What is Damping Factor?
Though technically more complex than this, Damping factor is usually thought of as an indicator of how tight an amplifier will sound when powering...
document Can I run one channel of my Crown amplifier at a different impedance than the other channel?
Yes. All dual channel Crown amplifiers can be treated as if they are two separate "mono" amplifiers (One channel completely independent of...
document How can I parallel the inputs of my Crown amplifier with the same signal?
The input impedance of Crown amplifiers is high enough that paralleling multiple inputs together is not a problem. Using a standard Y-adapter...
