The new Crest C1 Series currently comprises four models:
C1 86k 8-channel amplifier with 750w/channel into 4 ohms
C1 48k 4-channel amplifier with 2000w/channel into 4ohms
C1 44k 4-channel amplifier with 1000w/channel into 4 ohms
C1 25k 2-channel amplifier with 2500w/channel into 4 ohms
All models incorporate a highly efficient switch mode power supply and Class D circuitry with full bandwidth PWM modulators for ultra-low distortion, high efficiency and superior circuit protection. The clip/limiter function provides output monitoring to prevent speaker damage with gentle gain reduction at clip threshold as well as efficient heat dissipation and overheat protection for uncompromised reliability.
In addition to being powerful workhorses, C1 Series amplifiers are also capable and sophisticated loudspeaker processors thanks to a powerful internal DSP engine with sampling rates of 96 kHz/24bit and high performance 24bit AD/DA converters. Everything users and integrators need to optimize a loudspeaker system is available, including IIR HP/LP crossover filters, RMS compressor, parametric EQ, alignment delays, white/pink noise and much more.
Users can set parameters, select input source and load presets via the convenient front panel LCD touchscreen. A Dante network module enables primary and redundant connectivity to a digital audio network and allows seamless external control and monitoring of the amplifier. The C1 Series amps will be fully integrated with Peavey’s MediaMatrix hardware and NWare software, allowing signal distribution, control and monitoring of the C1 Series amps in MediaMatrix projects.
The C1 Series power amps may also be integrated with other DSP/control platforms that support Dante audio networking. Applications for these powerful, networked multi-channel power amps include stadia, transportation hubs, theme parks, arenas, convention centers, retail spaces, or any other projects requiring high quality, reliable networked audio.
