Introduction

These sections include Parts Ordering, Specifications, Voltage Conversion, Circuit Theory, Factory Test Procedures, Mechanical Parts Lists, and Module Parts Lists. Schematics are attached. Note that component parts with circuit board comprise a complete module. Module part numbers are always associated with a specific circuit board, although an unpopulated circuit board may be built up with different parts to create different modules. Note that Crown does not sell blank (unpopulated) circuit boards. Each of the compact audio power amplifiers are designed for professional or commercial use. Providing high power amplification from 20Hz to 20KHz with minimum distortion, they feature balanced inputs with bridged and parallel monophonic capability. Specific features vary depending on model family.

PART NUMBERING SYSTEMS

Crown is using two numbering systems. The elder system always uses eight characters. The first character is a letter. Common letters used are C, D, H, M, P, and Q. The second through sixth characters are numbers. The numbers build sequentially (for each prefix letter) as new parts are added to our parts inventory system. (In some cases there will be a space then a four character number after the prefix letter; the space is considered a character.) The seventh character is usually a hyphen, though it may be a letter to indicate a revision or special note. The last character is called a check-digit, and is useful to Crown for internal tracking. Crown is in the process of converting to a new part number system. Length may vary from eight to twelve characters. There is still a letter prefix, then five numbers. These five numbers identify a type of part. The seventh character is a hyphen. Remaining characters identify the details of the type of part identified by the first part of the number.

STANDARD AND SPECIAL PARTS

Many smaller electrical and electronic parts used by Crown are stocked by and available from electronic supply houses. However, some electronic parts that appear to be standard are actually special. A part ordered from crown power amplifier will assure an acceptable replacement. Structural items such as modules and panels are available from Crown only.
