Amplifier: Crown K2
K -Series amplifiers deliver more power and sound while using less energy than conventional amplifi ers. And it’s all in a durable, maintenance-free package that’s just two rack spaces high. Using patented Balanced Current Amplifier (BCA®) circuitry, Crown® K-Series amplifiers give you massive amounts of power while generating just one-tenth the heat of conventional amplifiers. In fact, the powerful K2® amplifier can deliver an amazing 1,250 watts per channel into 2 ohms (and that’s a very solid 2 ohms)! Because of their incredible effi ciency, K-Series amplifiers require no internal cooling fan and feature a closed chassis. Of course, no fan means no fan noise. In addition, the closed chassis makes these amplifi ers virtually immune to environmental problems such as dust, cigarette smoke, stage fog and spilled liquids. In practical, everyday terms, the K-Series amplifiers are essentially maintenance-free. As with all convection-cooled amplifi ers, varying operating levels and loads may require additional air movement in high ambient temperature conditions.
K-Series amplifi ers are so energy efficient—more than twice that of conventional switching amps—they require signifi cantly less energy to deliver their massive power into virtually any load, no matter how diffi cult. In addition, each amplifier is equipped with a “green” circuit that further reduces energy use during idle periods. Energy draw is so low—only 12 watts or less—the amplifi er may be kept in a continual ready state at minimal cost. This efficiency means you’ll realize signifi cant savings over the life of the amplifi er, reducing the cost of ownership, as well as enabling more K-Series amplifi ers to be plugged into a single AC circuit, reducing installation costs. Best of all, the K Series delivers all of the superior sound that Crown is known for—tight, chest-slamming low end, crystal-clear highs and a well-defi ned midrange. Several exceptional product reviews concur that the K Series delivers fantastic sound. The K Series stands above the rest as the performance leader in convection-cooled designs.
