4 1.0 Introduction & Unpacking Front panel Rear panel Introduction The PULSE series of amplifiers are high performance professional power amplifiers capable of delivering major power output from a new generation of switched mode power supplies.
5 2.0 Mechanical Installation A vertical rack space of 2U (88mm high) is required, with an in rack depth of 18.1 inches (460mm). The amplifier protrudes 1.
6 3.0 AC P ower Connection W ARNING! THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE GROUNDED. The amplifier must always be connected to a 3-wire grounded AC outlet. The rack framework must also be connected to the same grounding circuit.
7 Inputs For each channel, there is a 1/4” phone jack socket, male & female XLR and pluggable removable terminal block connectors provided for signal input on the rear panel of the amplifier . Each is electronically balanced at an impedance greater than 10k ohms.
8 Outputs Both binding post and Speakon ® connectors are provided for each channel, these are internally wired in parallel so either or both may be used. Note that it is possible to lever the caps out of the ends of the binding posts to insert 4mm banana type plugs but this will invalidate the product safety approvals in some territories.
9 5.0 Control oper ation a. P ower Switch P ressing this switch so that the white dot is closest to the front panel signals to the microprocessor that the user wishes to turn on the power supply . Note that the microprocessor will only switch the power supply on once it has assured that there are no internal faults.
10 6 .0 Indicators A. AC Present This light glows when AC power is applied to the amplifier , whether or not the amplifier is actually running. This light will still glow even if the rear panel fuse is blown because it is powered from the separate, internally fused supply that powers the microprocessor .
11 Indicators... F . Clip This light is in fact rather more sophisticated than a simple clip indicator; it actually measures distortion. This may occur either due to clipping, trying to drive too low an impedance speaker load or any other mechanism that causes the output of the amplifier channel to not be as expected by the monitoring circuit.
12 7.0 T ypical applications a. T wo channel (stereo) oper ation In this example, each channel of the PULSE 2x1100 is being used independently . For this application, ensure that the rear panel BRIDGE switches are in the NORMAL position. More than one speaker may be used on each channel as long as the total impedance is not less than 2 ohms.
13 T ypical applications... c. T wo amplifiers for stereo with a mono sub-bass Here T wo amplifiers are used with an active crossover to provide a separate sub-bass signal. d. Calculating Impedance Measured in ohms, impedance is a measure of AC resistance.
14 8 .0 Glossary In this section many of the terms used throughout this manual are explained in more detail. Active Active electronic circuits are those which are capable of voltage and power gain by using transistors and integrated circuits.
15 Glossary ... dBu or dBv The addition of a lower case ”u” or “v” after dB indicates an absolute scaling for the dB ratio. 0dBu (or 0 dBv) = 778mV or 0.
16 Glossary ... Removable terminal block One of the names given to a pluggable terminal block suitable for use with audio where connection to permanent wiring makes their use more suitable than XLR or Jack connectors.
17 9 . 0 Specifications P ower Ratings Pulse 2x1100 Stereo Measured per channel, both channels driven at 1kHz to no more than 0.1% THD+N 8 ohms 700W rms 4 ohms 1100W rms 2 ohms 1500W rms * * Note: 2 O.
18 10.0 T roubleshooting Checklist Problem: No output Check: Are the AC Present and Operate lights on ? Are the F ault & T emp lights off ? Are the Signal lights on ? Are the level controls turned up? Are the speakers properly connected? (in particular check that older style ‘ring lock’ type Speakons are rotated in the socket).
19 T roubleshooting... Status Indication There is a microprocessor inside each PULSE amplifier responsible for monitoring all critical systems. The status of which are displayed on the front panel lights.
20 Crown amplifiers are quality units that rarely require servicing. Before returning your unit for servicing, please contact Crown T echnical Support to verify the need for servicing. This unit has very sophisticated circuitry which should only be serviced by an authorized Crown Service Center .
