Crown Audio I-T6000 - Power Amplifier with On-Board Programmable 24-Bit DSP - 1500 Watts @ 8 Ohms
The Crown I-T6000 is a two-channel power amplifier with a 6000 Watt capability, designed for professional touring sound or fixed installation use.
The unique hybrid design of the I-T6000 packs the high power, high output voltage, and clean transient response of a huge, heavy, old-school power amp, into a lightweight, 2RU aluminum chassis weighing only 28 lbs, housing programmable DSP dynamics processing, computer networking capability, digital connectivity, and 24-bit/96 kHz A/D - D/A converters under the hood.
The I-T6000 DSP collection includes a time-align delay, an RTA(Real Time Analyzer) section, a crossover section, compression, limiting and various graphic EQ's: this effectively replaces 5 or 6 pieces of gear in the rack. The 3 quick-access programming buttons are conveniently located directly below the large, brightly lit LCD display. A multi-amp system may be monitored and controlled by a laptop computer loaded with Crown's custom networking software, either directly from the console surface, or even from a back office, in the case of a fixed installation.
The rear panel of the I-T6000 is largely devoted to color-coded connector groups, all separately grouped and clearly labeled, which certainly simplifies the setup process.
Computers, digital consoles, and digital recording setups are enjoying an increasing presence in professional touring rigs, and sound installations in larger venues, theaters, and houses of worship. The progressive design of the I-T6000, created by one of the planet's premier amplifier manufacturers, shows foresight, practicality, and relevance to the many options available as live sound meets the Digital Age.
