Up for sale is a highly reliable, commercial-grade Crown CTs 1200 Two-Channel Power Amplifier. Built around Crown’s legendary switching power supply technology, the CTs series is the industry benchmark for touring sound, stadiums, arenas, and premium commercial installs where uncompromised power density and continuous duty cycle operation are required.

The brushed aluminum front faceplate is exceptionally clean, featuring bright status indicators, cooling vent grilles, and robust rack ears. The rear panel reveals an incredibly valuable upgrade: this unit comes pre-installed with a Crown IQ-PIP-USP3 CN (CobraNet) programmable digital audio processor module. This module turns the amplifier into an intelligent network node, giving you onboard DSP (compression, limiting, EQ, delay) and uncompressed network audio routing over standard Ethernet infrastructure.

Key Performance Features:

 FI-Switching Power Supply: Extremely lightweight efficiency with massive current capability, delivering tight, responsive low-end punch and crystal-clear high-frequency detail.

 Constant-Voltage Flexibility: Natively drives both low-impedance structural speaker loads or distributed 70V/100V lines directly, without requiring massive, tone-robbing internal audio transformers.

 Comprehensive Protection Suite: Fully armed with advanced protection circuitry protecting the chassis against shorted outputs, open circuits, mismatched loads, general overheating, and high-frequency overloads.

 TLC (Thermal Level Control): Dynamically protects the amplifier from thermal overload by smoothly attenuating the input signal gain rather than shutting down completely during high-heat gigs.

 2 Ohms: 600 Watts

 4 Ohms: 600 Watts

 Analog Inputs: Removable balanced Phoenix-style barrier blocks

 Outputs: Heavy-duty, touch-proof barrier strip terminal blocks

 Network Capability: Dual RJ45 ports (via the pre-installed IQ-PIP-USP3 network DSP card)

 High-Pass Filters: Independent selectable 35 Hz / 70 Hz high-pass filters per channel to protect downstream speakers from low-end over-excursion.
