CROWN I-Tech 5000HD - Two-channel power amplifier, 2500W @ 4Ω

CROWN I-Tech 5000HD – Two-channel power amplifier, 2,500 W @ 4 Ω

The CROWN I-Tech 5000HD is a professional 2U rackmount touring amplifier delivering 2,500W per channel into 4Ω with electronics designed to maximize clarity and reliability under extreme conditions. Based on five new patents—three of them in the power supply—and powered by the BSS OMNIDRIVEHD™ digital processing engine, it incorporates linear-phase FIR filters and LevelMAX™ limiters to deliver pure sound reproduction and precise signal control. Its wide-range switching power supply and active power factor correction (PFC) ensure stable performance in any electrical environment.

• Flexible integration: Analog inputs, AES/EBU and HiQnet™ control allow adaptation to any digital or analog system.
• Touring construction: Robust steel chassis and variable ventilation ensure durability and reliability on the road.

Use cases

• Sound reinforcement for demanding concert tours and festivals.
• Powering line arrays and subwoofers in auditoriums and large venues.
• Fixed installations with high noise impact: theaters, convention centers, and event centers.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Does it support external DSP? Yes; it can be integrated with HiQnet™ or CobraNet® control systems for advanced management.
• Can it be used in 4 Ω bridge mode? Yes; it delivers up to 4,000 W bridged to 4 Ω.
• Do you need additional ventilation? No; your variable-speed fan adapts to the heat generated.
