1.2 Features
The
Macro-Tech 3600VZ
amplifier uses the latest tech-
nology and miniaturized design to deliver the highest
power and value for its size, weight and price. Crown’s
grounded bridge
™
output and patented
ODEP
protec-
tion circuitry combine to provide performance and reli-
ability that surpass all conventional amplifier designs.
Macro-Tech
amplifiers also have an independent high
voltage power supply for each channel. This design
provides ultra-low crosstalk specifications and makes
it possible to treat each channel as a separate ampli-
fier. Features:
❏ Crown’s
grounded bridge™
circuitry generates in-
credible voltage swings while avoiding stressful out-
put transistor configurations common to
conventional amplifiers. The results are lower dis-
tortion and superior reliability.
❏ Patented
ODEP
(Output Device Emulation Protec-
tion) circuitry compensates for overheating and
overload to keep the amplifier working long after
others would fail.
❏
IOC
®
(Input/Output Comparator) circuitry immedi-
ately alerts of any distortion exceeding 0.05%, pro-
viding dynamic
proof of performance
.
❏
P.I.P.
(Programmable Input Processor) connector
accepts accessories that tailor your amplifier to suit
individual applications.
❏ Two mono modes (Bridge-Mono and Parallel-Mono)
for driving a wide range of load impedances.
❏ Very low harmonic and intermodulation distortion
result in the best
dynamic transfer function
in the
industry.
❏ High damping factor provides superior control over
low frequency drivers for a clean, accurate low end.
❏ An articulated VZ power supply for each channel
provides excellent crosstalk characteristics and the
best power matching to your load.
❏ Full protection against shorted outputs, open cir-
cuits, mismatched loads, general overheating, high
frequency overloads and internal faults; loud-
speaker protection against low frequency and DC
output.
❏ Extra rugged, extruded aluminum front panel with
ODEP
and Signal Presence/
IOC
indicators for each
channel, as well as an Enable Indicator.
❏ Separate voltage supplies for each channel provide
low crosstalk and improved reliability.
❏ Efficient heat sinks and a self-contained forced air
cooling system dissipate heat quickly and evenly to
prevent overheating, prolong component life and
deliver greater power output.
❏ Balanced inputs and adjustable front panel level
controls.
❏ 31 detents in the level controls reduce the likelihood
of settings being inadvertently disturbed.
❏ Ground lift switch to isolate chassis and phone jack
audio input grounds.
❏ Multiple dual binding posts provide easy and ver-
satile output connection.
❏ Internal three position input sensitivity switch pro-
vides settings of 0.775 volts and 1.4 volts for rated
output, and 26 dB voltage gain.
❏ Mounts in a standard 19 inch (48.3 cm) equipment
rack with rear support, or units can be stacked.
❏ All specifications are guaranteed for the duration of
the warranty period.
❏ Units in North America and other select countries
are covered by a three year “No-Fault” full warranty
which completely protects your investment and
guarantees its specifications.
