What makes a great amplifier? 

T

he world has seen many good amplifiers, but few
achieve greatness. What sets these elite few apart

from all the others? The answer is simple: A careful 
synthesis of unrivaled sonic performance combined 
with rock-solid dependability.

While the definition of a great amplifier may be simple,
delivering on those requirements is not. This is what 
has always set Crown

®

amplifiers apart from the others:

Crown delivers.

From the slightest nuances in the tremolo of a flute 
to the chest pounding bass of a rock ’n’ roll kick
drum to the harmonic rich vocals of a jazz
singer, Crown delivers. Crown amplifiers
are renowned for their ability to accurately
amplify anything audio—with unmatched
power and accuracy—night after night
without fail. 

For decades, the formula for creating
great amplifiers has been the same at
Crown: An insightful combination of
genetics, breakthrough technologies,
craftsmanship, and passion. This formula,
proven over and over, has produced a lineage
of great amplifiers: DC-300, PSA-2, Micro-Tech

, K, and CTs: Each

amplifier great in its time, and each raising the standard
for high performance. Once again, this formula for
greatness has delivered on its promise: I-Tech, the
world’s next great amplifier, and the pinnacle of Crown’s
50-year history of innovation.   

The following pages convey with words and pictures 
the essence of I-Tech and why it is destined to be the
greatest amplifier ever. But words and pictures cannot
convey what can only be experienced. We challenge 
you to read on, arrange for a demonstra-
tion, and prepare to have your
expectations for a great ampli-
fier redefined.

GENETICS.

The wealth of 

experience, knowledge and history 
that are the essential foundation for 
all Crown amplifiers.

For decades, Crown has developed industry-
defining amplifiers for professional audio. Each new generation 
of Crown amplifiers has leveraged the technological advances 
that made its predecessors great, then improved upon them. 
This is what continues to enable Crown to create great amplifiers,
and it is the very DNA of I-Tech.

BREAKTHROUGH TECHNOLOGIES.

Revolutionary technological advances, not just

clever marketing spin.

Building on a legacy of more than 20 U.S.

patents for innovative circuitry (far more than 

any other amplifier manufacturer), Crown 

continues to lead the way with I-Tech. I-Tech will

redefine your expectations for high performance,

incorporating more breakthrough technologies 

per cubic inch than any other amplifier, ever.

CRAFTSMANSHIP.

Producing the world’s
greatest amplifiers with
pride and commitment
to quality.

From the careful 
selection of chassis
materials and construc-
tion processes, to the
adoption of the latest in x-ray
and photo-robotic circuit board 

testing, each I-Tech amplifier 

is painstakingly crafted to perform 

to the highest standards.

PASSION.

Being deeply committed to delivering 

the most moving and powerful performances 

audiences can experience.

Our passion is fueled by the knowledge that we are 

a partner to every performer, consultant, contractor, and 
sound engineer that uses Crown products. We support 
them in delivering exceptional audio to audiences 
all over the world.
