|
||
|
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...
|
||
|
|
||
|
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...
|
||
|
|
||
|
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...

|
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...

|
How much "inrush current" will my amp draw during turn on?
Design features of the amplifier, including power supply design and transformer size, partially determine maximum peak inrush current for a given...

|
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...
