Single-Channel Modular Power Amplifiers, 200W, 70V or 100V

Finally, a space saving, energy efficient, commercial grade, professional

performance amplifier solution that’s totally configurable yet remarkably

straightforward. Whether you need a single-channel amp that mounts on

a wall or under a table, or a multichannel rack mount amp with multiple

output types and power levels, Crestron® modular amps are astoundingly

simple to specify and install in any configuration you require.

All-Inclusive Modular Design

Crestron modular amplifiers are offered in a range of output power

levels, with single and dual-channel models available, and with options

to address either Lo-Z (4/8 Ω) or Hi-Z (70 or 100 Volt) speaker types.

(AMP-1200 models support Hi-Z only.) Each model is housed in either a

quarter- or half-width rack-mountable form factor that can be installed

individually or ganged together in a single rack space. (AMP-1200 models

are half-width.) Every model ships complete with all the hardware required

for installation of the unit by itself or in combination with any other unit(s).

Rack and surface mount kits are included, so there are no other mounting

accessories or rack shelves to purchase.

Whether mounting in a rack, attaching to a flat surface, or simply placing

on a shelf, it’s easy to combine multiple units into a single assembly. Just

remove a couple of screws, slide the side panel off and attach it to the

next unit, slide the two units together, and reinstall the screws. The

complete multichannel amp assembly is sturdy and solid, with the look of

a full-space unit. Attach the appropriate sized rack ears or surface

brackets and it’s ready to mount.

70V or 100V Output

The AMP-1200 is a single channel amplifier, conservatively rated at

200 Watts, with a “Hi-Z” output to drive a distributed speaker system.

Two models are offered: The AMP-1200-70 has a 70 Volt output, and the

AMP-1200-100 has a 100 Volt output. Output wiring is facilitated using a

detachable terminal block. Balanced and unbalanced inputs are provided

for connection to a mono or stereo (summed) source via a detachable

terminal block or RCA connectors.

Solid & Efficient Performance

All Crestron modular amps are engineered to deliver exceptional

performance and reliability with low distortion, low noise, and high power

headroom. Advanced Class D technology maximizes efficiency to reduce

power consumption and heat dissipation. An internal universal power

supply with power factor correction ensures consistent performance at

varying line voltages.

Convection Cooled

The ultra-efficient design of the AMP-1200 ensures cool running operation

without the use of internal fans. This means there’s no fan noise to disturb

nearby listeners and no moving parts to break down. Cool operation

also helps to ensure long term reliability. The AMP-1200 is high-density

stackable with other Crestron modular amps, allowing multiple units to be

installed vertically in an equipment rack without extra ventilation space

in between.

Fully Protected

The AMP-1200 features comprehensive protection against overheating,

shorted or overloaded speaker lines, excessive input signals, and other

faults. Built-in clip limiting prevents extreme output signals and distortion

that can damage the speakers or amplifier. In the case of a shorted

speaker line or overheating condition, the output mutes automatically

until the fault condition is resolved. In the event of a prolonged fault, such

as an internal component failure, the output mutes instantly and the

amplifier shuts down.

ENERGY STAR® Certified

Its energy-efficient design enables the AMP-1200 to meet demanding

ENERGY STAR requirements. Crestron modular amps, like the AMP-1200,

allow organizations to fulfill their green initiatives without compromising

on audio performance. In addition to its high efficiency under operation, the

AMP-1200 draws no added inrush current during power-up, thereby

reducing AC circuit requirements and allowing multiple units to be

connected to a single switched circuit. To reduce energy usage further,

the AMP-1200 automatically enters a low-power standby state if no input

signal is detected for 25 minutes, and returns to full operation within a

half-second the instant an input signal is detected.
