| ST2000 |
The
ST2000 Series amplifier is the flagship in a family
of "elevated efficiency" amplification from Crest
Audio. The ST amplifier represents a new benchmark in switching
amplification: providing the expected advantages of low-weight
and reduced heat, while preserving the sonic integrity for which
Crest Audio is known. With the latest in switching technology
onboard, this feature-rich product has the contemporary look,
feel, and sound of a touring class amplifiers. The ST Series
is very competitively priced and is well-suited for a wide range
of applications.
Resonant-switching
power supply
The ST amplifier switching power supply employs a resonant
design which utilizes "zero-power" switching technology.
Benefits
of resonant-switching include:
Reduced power component stress for better reliability and
efficiency
20dB lower noise than conventional switching supplies (and
therefore more EMC friendly)
Behaves like a classic linear supply, but with the added advantages
of size and weight reduction
Switching output stage
To maintain sonic quality along with incorporating the advantages
of a switching output stage, Crest Audio´s engineering
has two years of development time in this new generation Class
D amplifier. The multiple rail technology is the key to its
efficiency and low operating temperature. An additional advantage
to this design is the amount of power needed over time. This
amplifier will dramatically reduce the number of kw/hr needed
to operate.
Features
Dramatically reduced net weight
Switching power supply/switching output stages
Very low current draw
Latest generation of high-speed, wide-bandwidth output devices
Cooled by variable speed fan with back-to-front airflow
Inputs--balanced female XLR, 1/4" TRS and three pin phoenix
Outputs--Speakon and five-way binding posts
Mode selector switch for stereo, parallel and bridged-mono
operation
Ground-lift switch and rear panel circuit breaker
Recessed, stepped attenuators with removable knobs
16-gauge steel chassis, 14-gauge steel front panel
