Chapter 1: Introduction
The Crown® Power Amplifier provides the user with the power to drive passive audio loudspeak-
ers. Each amplifier is a network component that integrates with ASTi’s ACENet. ACENet pro-
vides a low latency, network based audio and I/O distribution architecture for ASTi’s Telestra 4
ACE communications and sound modeling equipment and software. The amplifier offers a full
range of indicators for accurate diagnostics. This document provides an overview of the CT 4200
4-channel amplifier in a 2U chassis and the CT 8200 8-channel in a 3U chassis. For a more com-
prehensive understanding of the Crown® products please read the documents listed in the Refer-
ence section of this document.

Chapter 2: Getting Started
WARNING: Before amplifier installation, ensure that your amplifier is not con-
nected to power and all control levels are turned down (counter clockwise).
2.1. Proper Cooling
Do not block any of the amplifier ventilation vents. When using an equipment rack, mount the
units directly on top of each other. Do not block rear, front, or side air vents. The side walls of the
rack should be a minimum of two inches (5.1 cm) away from the amplifier sides, and the back of
the rack should be open.
