Crest Audio V900 Professional Power Amplifier. As shown in the photos, it's still in perfect condition in the original packaging, though note that it will be packaged with another outer box since the original top is now missing.
I'd also recommend cleaning out the amplifier before use, as some of the original foam had deteriorated when it was opened. Though the plastic bag prevented most of it from reaching the amplifier, some tiny particles still likely made their way inside. The Crest V900 integrates cost-effective design with exceptional sonic accuracy, long-term reliability, and basic features required for a variety of professional applications. Attractive, high-tech styling and comprehensive metering make the V900 an excellent choice.
The V900's remarkable price/performance ratio is the result of innovative engineering and highly efficient manufacturing in Crest's modern USA facility-along with nearly two decades of leadership in professional amplifier design. However, no compromises in component selection or quality control were permitted as a shortcut to cost reductions. In every respect, the V900 embodies the Crest Audio tradition of roadworthy ruggedness and reliability. For example, the V900 includes the same TourClass® protection features as found in Crest's CA, CKS, CKV and CKX Series amplifiers. That means the V900 will endure virtually any type of mishap or system stress-from uncontrolled "upstream" oscillation to extreme ambient heat or accidental shorting-without damage to internal circuitry or connected speakers. Equally suited to permanent installation or mobile applications, the V900 offers a welcome balance of exceptional audio performance and overall value. Robust "Over-built" Power Supply - Massive filter capacitors and high output custom transformer provide ample current for solid bass performance, even when driving low impedance loads.More Output Transistors - By using more output devices than many comparable competitive models, the V900 puts less stress on each device for a wider safe operating area (SOA) and long-term reliability. Wide-Band Design - Frequency response extends from 10Hzto 20kHz (-3dB at 165kHz), ensuring powerful sub-bass performance as well as detailed, transparent high frequency response.
Effective Cooling - Large, extruded aluminum heat sink and front-mounted, two-speed 4-inch fan minimize internal temperatures to prolong amplifier life. 20-Segment Precision Meter Display - Instantaneous metering with peak hold and ACL operation readings. Rated for Sustained Operation into 2? Front Panel Magnetic Circuit Breaker/Power Switch - Eliminates need for AC line fuses.
TourClass Protection Circuits ACL (Active Clip Limiting) prevents speaker damage with gentle gain reduction at clip threshold. IGM (Instantaneous Gain Modulation) monitors connected loads to detect conditions that may overstress output devices, allowing safe operation into nominal 2? AutoRamp gradually increases gain to attenuator setting level when the amplifier is turned on. TourClass also includes protection from thermal runaway, input overload, DC, short circuit, in-rush current, and turn-on/turn-off transients. Recessed Front Panel Detented Attenuators.
Differentially-balanced 1/4 TRS and Barrier Strip Input Connectors. Five-Way Binding Post or Speakon Output Connectors (market dependent). Additional LED Indicators for Active and Protect.
Stereo/Bridged Mono Mode Select Switch. Carefully consider the feedback sellers receive, particularly when they have received negative comments. If something goes wrong, I'll do my best to fix the issue, so please contact me before leaving feedback. This is just some of the feedback I've received.
Accurate description and a decent price. Best packaging I've ever seen and put a fragile sticker on box!!
