1.2 The Macro-Tech Series Amplifi ers
The Macro-Tech
®
series is a complete family of
amplifiers designed for pro sound reinforcement.
Macro-Tech amplifiers are designed to provide
enormous levels of pure, undistorted power in
a rugged low-profile package, utilizing Crown's
patented Grounded Bridge™ output topology. They
also employ Crown's patented ODEP
®
protection
circuitry, which keeps the amplifi er working under
extreme conditions that would shut down a lesser
amplifi er. The MA-3600VZ features Crown's PIP™
(Programmable Input Processor) expansion system.
The PIP expansion system makes it easy to tailor
the amplifier to a specific application. Providing
high power amplifi cation from 20 Hz to 20 kHz with
minimum distortion, Macro-Tech series amplifiers
feature balanced inputs with bridged and parallel
monophonic capability. Specific features vary
depending on model.
