SNAMM06: 3,000 Watts Of Amp Power

US Crest Performance adds two new power amps – CPX 2.0 and CPX 3.0 - to amplifier line      25/07/06
Crest Performance, a division of Crest Audio have introduced the new CPX 2.0 and CPX 3.0 power amplifiers. CPX amps feature a variable crossover on each channel, plus variable low-pass filters and an amp function switch that selects high, low or full-range operation.
With power ratings up to 3,000 watts, Crest say that their Performance CPX Series combines high-power ratings and quality Crest Audio designs with value for money that musicians will appreciate. The CPX 2.0 and 3.0 feature Crest Audio’s GCL Gain Comparator Limiting system, which allows maximum output without speaker distortion. Two fully automatic, dual-speed cooling fans pull cool air from in front of the rack—not the rear—and activate only when needed, making these amplifiers completely silent at low levels.
These two-rack-space power amps include 10-segment, multi-color, peak-hold bar graphs along with LED input indicators for amplifier active, DDT active, temperature warning and DC output warning on the front-panel display. Inputs are XLR-1/4" combi connectors, while outputs include binding post and Neutrik Speakon connectors, a separate Speakon mono bridge output and thru/low output jacks and high output jacks.
