Superb audio and state-of-the-art efficiency.

The CT 8150 is the flagship of Crown’s ComTech DriveCore Series of power amplifiers. Ideal for installations that require premium sound quality, multi-channel configurations, compact dimensions, and zero ambient fan noise, the CT 8150 boasts eight channels and a power rating of 125 W per channel at four ohms. Powering this remarkable amplifier is the pioneering technology of DriveCore, which integrates the amplifier drive stage into the power output stage, fusing everything in to a chip the size of a dime. DriveCore’s front-end drive circuits leverage the inherent efficiency of Class D output stages while also maintaining superb sonic characteristics. The end result is an audio amplifier circuit that exhibits the exemplary audio quality of a highly evolved Class AB design.
