Frequently Asked Questions
- How does the IT12000HD compare to the IT9000HD?
- The IT12000HD delivers 4500W per channel versus 3500W per channel for the IT9000HD, making it the preferred choice for the highest-demand applications. Both share the same DSP and HiQnet platform. The IT12000HD is typically chosen for subwoofer arrays and full-range high-SPL applications, while the IT9000HD suits slightly smaller systems.
- Is the IT12000HD compatible with Crown's V-Rack systems?
- Yes. The IT12000HD is the amplifier of choice for the VRACK-12000HD system, which packages three IT12000HD amplifiers in a pre-wired, ready-to-deploy road rack. The VRACK solution simplifies setup and ensures all amplifiers are optimally integrated.
- What DSP preset libraries are available?
- Crown and Harman provide extensive loudspeaker preset libraries for use with System Architect software. Presets are available for most JBL Professional and other major loudspeaker brands, enabling fast system setup without custom DSP configuration.
- Does the IT12000HD support bridged mono operation?
- Yes. The IT12000HD can be configured in bridged mono mode for maximum single-channel output, suitable for driving very large subwoofer systems. Ensure that connected loudspeakers are rated for bridged mono operation before use.
- What is the warranty coverage?
- Crown professional amplifiers carry a 3-year limited warranty. Crown maintains a global network of authorized service centers to ensure fast turnaround for any service needs.
