Crown Audio CTS4200AVCA Overview

The Crown CTs 4200VCA is a 4-channel remote-controllable power amplifier housed in a 2RU rack, offering 180 Watts per channel at 8 Ohms, designed for fixed installation use.

The CTs 4200VCA features multiple simultaneous channel operation modes, 70 Volt and 100 Volt support, a switching power supply, and a variable speed fan cooling system. There is a comprehensive set of front panel indicators for each channel, along with advanced, well-designed thermal protection and fault isolation circuitry. The rear panel offers individual channel level trim controls, and 4-position operating mode switches.

The CTs 4200VCA offers a progressive design and advanced features for a moderate price per channel, and represents a viable solution for budget-conscious commercial, theatrical, educational, and houses of worship installations.

4-channel installation power amplifier in 3 RU rackmount enclosure with 180 Watts of power per channel at 8 Ohms
2-connector VCA-MC4A module provides independent remote level control for each channel, 4-pin removable Phoenix-style barrier connectors provide the +10VDC control voltage, ground, and control lines for two amplifier channels
Crown switching power supply for reduced weight
Selectable constant voltage 70V/100V or 4/8 Ohm low impedance operation per channel pair with dedicated 4-position switches
Multi Mode output topology allows for simultaneous dual and bridged operation
FIT(Fault Isolation Topology) circuitry isolates faulty channels; adjacent channels remain unaffected
TLC thermal protection circuitry engages internal channel compressor, dynamically reduces amplifier gain to reduce heat levels and prevent overheating
Front-to-rear forced airflow cooling vents, continuously variable speed fan cooling
Automatically inserted 35 Hz high-pass filter for channel pair in 70/100 Volt operation
Advanced protection circuitry includes guards against shorted outputs, open circuits, mismatched loads, general overheating, DC, under/over voltage, high frequency overloads and internal faults
Comprehensive front panel indicator array includes individual channel LED's for Bridge, Ready, Signal, Clip, Thermal and Fault; dedicated Power and Data indicators
Blue power indicator LED flashes when amplifier shuts down during under/over voltage condition on AC mains
