Crown CTs-8200 Power Amplifier

Built on the foundation of the Com-Tech series, Crown's CTs Series offers new flexibility and value for installed sound applications. Crown’s CTs Series amplifiers provide exceptional performance, flexibility and value for installed sound applications.

CTs Series amplifiers feature independent selection of high and low impedance operation for a specific channel, plus power levels and features that were carefully chosen to match the requirements of fixed install design. Easy integration with HiQnet™ and CobraNet™ allows CTs amplifiers to deliver a comprehensive lineup of monitoring and control features along with digital audio transport for an award-winning digital audio solution.


Crown has continued to move forward, producing numerous innovative designs, including The CTs Series amplifier line for the installed sound markets, Crown’s next-generation IQ System, now called IQ Network, and the I-Tech Series touring amplifiers, the world’s most advanced professional amplifier and representing the pinnacle of their over 30 years of amplifier leadership. These products and more embody the reliability and innovativeness that have long been the manufacturer’s hallmarks.
And with each product backed up by a three-year, no-fault, fully transferable warranty, Crown today continues to delight its customers with products that consistently exceed both specifications and expectations, even on the most demanding tours and installations.


Crown's new CTs8200 features multiple simultaneous channel operation modes, 70 volt and 100 volt support, a switching power supply, and a variable speed fan cooling system. There is a comprehensive set of front panel indicators for each channel, along with advanced, well-designed thermal protection and fault isolation circuitry. The rear panel offers individual channel level trim controls, and 4-position operating mode switches.

The CTs 8200 offers a progressive design and advanced features for a moderate price per channel, and represents a viable solution for budget-conscious commercial, theatrical, educational, and houses of worship installations.
