Inside and out, the I-Tech HD 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.
- BSS OMNIDRIVEHD™ DSP processing with IIR filters and linear phase FIR filters
- Covered by five patents
- 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
- 6th-generation patented 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
- New software interface based on customer feedback manages presets, provides easier system-level changes, and includes a configuration wizard
- The only product available with analog, AES/EBU, CobraNet®, HiQnet™and Ethernet connectivity
- User -definable front panel security feature
- The only tour sound amplifier that provides inputs routable to any output (analog, AES, or CobraNet)
- Professional-grade connectors for all inputs and outputs
- Full power-supply voltage is always available, allowing instantaneous power on demand
- Quality-graded components let you safely drive the amplifier harder
- More total capacitance provides tremendous energy reserves for power bursts
- 200Vrms peak output voltage provides clean transient peaks
