CROWN Power Amplifier CTS 2000
✓ In Stock (2 available)
The Crown CTs 2000 is a dual-channel professional power amplifier engineered for permanent commercial installations, live venues, and distributed sound systems. Built on Crown's patented Class-I BCA (Balanced Current Amplifier) topology, it delivers a consistent 1000W per channel across 2Ω, 4Ω, and 8Ω loads in dual mode — and up to 2000W total in bridge-mono configuration. Its switching power supply keeps the unit compact and lightweight at just 22.8 lbs within a standard 2U rackmount chassis. With independent channel flexibility, advanced thermal protection, and native support for both low-impedance and 70V/100V constant-voltage systems, the CTs 2000 is a trusted workhorse for installers and touring engineers worldwide.

Description
Crown CTs 2000 Professional Power Amplifier
1000W Per Channel (Flat Across 2Ω–8Ω) — Consistent rated output at 2, 4, and 8-ohm loads in dual mode; bridges to 2000W total at 4Ω–200V in mono configuration
Class-I BCA Output Topology — Crown's patented Balanced Current Amplifier design delivers high power with exceptional efficiency and minimal heat buildup
Independent Channel Versatility — Drive Channel 1 as a standard low-impedance speaker amp (4Ω/8Ω) while Channel 2 runs a 70V/100V distributed ceiling speaker line — simultaneously
Damping Factor >3000 — Outstanding low-frequency driver control from 10 Hz to 100 Hz into 8Ω for precise, tight subwoofer performance
105 dB SNR + <0.35% THD — Ultra-clean signal reproduction across the full 20 Hz–20 kHz range, even at full rated power
Frequency Response ±0.25 dB — Studio-accurate, flat audio from 20 Hz to 20 kHz at 1W into 4/8 ohms
TLC (Thermal Level Control) — Dynamically compresses per-channel input gain when heat rises — keeps audio running without triggering a full shutdown
JTS (Junction Temperature Simulation) — Continuously monitors output transistors against power spikes, protecting components without cutting the signal
Rear-Panel High-Pass Filter — Selectable low-frequency roll-off per channel prevents step-down transformer saturation in 70V/100V distributed systems
PIP2 Module Compatible — Supports Crown's Programmable Input Processor for seamless HiQnet and CobraNet network audio integration
Switching Power Supply — Eliminates heavy toroidal transformers; net weight just 22.8 lbs (10.34 kg) in a 19" × 2U × 14.25" chassis
Variable-Speed Forced-Air Cooling — Continuous front-to-rear airflow with auto-adjusting fan speed for sustained, thermally stable operation
Crosstalk >80 dB — Strong channel-to-channel isolation across the full operating bandwidth
Input: 10kΩ Balanced / 5kΩ Unbalanced — Accepts up to +20 dBu maximum input level before compression engages; selectable gain and sensitivity per channel
