Inside and out, the 12000HD is one of the most technologically advanced professional touring amplifiers on the market today. Building on the decades of innovation, invention, and insight Crown is known for, the I-Tech HD features five new patents - three on the power supply alone - giving you an amp that goes well beyond the expected. At the heart of the new I-Tech HD is the BSS OMNIDRIVEHD™ processing engine. Four times faster than its predecessor and featuring Linear Phase FIR filters and LevelMAX™ limiters, OMNIDRIVEHD provides unmatched clarity and sonically pure signal processing.
Crown I-Tech 12000HD Features
- BSS OMNIDRIVEHD™ DSP processing with IIR filters and linear phase FIR filters
- Fan has true tachometer feedback for fan fault protection and precise control over thermal performance, so the amp runs longer and harder than the competition
- Includes SLM (Sweep Load Monitoring) with system-level diagnostics
- Ultra smooth processing by onboard high-definition BSS OMNIDRIVEHD DSP with 24-bit, 192kHz Cirrus Logic SHARC A/D and D/A converters
- LevelMAX™ peak voltage and RMS power limiters communicate with each other, resulting in smooth and accurate response, better sound
- True Ethernet backbone - fast, reliable and scalable
- High common-mode rejection eliminates hum and RFI on input cables
- Class-I (BCA®) circuitry couples power efficiently to the load and provides low AC current draw
- Global Power Supply; universal AC input accepts100-240VAC, 50/60Hz (±15%)
- Front-panel USB connector transfers presets to/from a USB drive to the amp's DSP
- Software interface manages presets, provides easier system-level changes, and includes a configuration wizard
- Available with analog, AES/EBU, CobraNet®, HiQnet™and Ethernet connectivity
