Crown Audio I-Tech 5000HD 2-Channel Power Amplifier

Crown I-Tech 5000HD

The Crown I-Tech 5000HD is a high-performance professional touring amplifier designed to deliver exceptional power, advanced signal processing, and reliable operation in demanding live sound environments. Built upon Crown’s long-standing reputation for innovation and engineering excellence, the I-Tech HD series incorporates multiple patented technologies that enhance efficiency, reliability, and sonic performance. Designed for touring productions, concert venues, and large-scale sound reinforcement systems, the I-Tech 5000HD combines powerful amplification with sophisticated digital control capabilities.

At the core of the amplifier is the BSS OMNIDRIVEHD processing engine, a high-speed DSP platform that delivers precise audio processing with outstanding clarity and transparency. The processor supports both traditional IIR filters and advanced linear-phase FIR filters, enabling detailed loudspeaker optimization while maintaining phase accuracy throughout the audio spectrum. High-definition 24-bit, 192kHz Cirrus Logic SHARC A/D and D/A converters ensure pristine signal quality and accurate audio reproduction.

The I-Tech 5000HD incorporates Crown’s LevelMAX limiter technology, which intelligently coordinates peak voltage and RMS power limiting to protect loudspeakers while preserving audio dynamics and sound quality. Sweep Load Monitoring (SLM) provides advanced system diagnostics, allowing engineers to monitor loudspeaker performance and identify potential issues before they affect system operation.

Connectivity options include analog, AES/EBU, CobraNet, HiQnet, and Ethernet networking, making the amplifier highly adaptable to modern audio infrastructures. A front-panel USB port enables convenient preset transfer and system management, while comprehensive software tools simplify configuration and control.

Powered by sixth-generation patented Class-I circuitry, the amplifier delivers efficient power transfer with reduced AC current draw and excellent thermal performance. Combined with a universal power supply and professional-grade components, the I-Tech 5000HD offers dependable performance and advanced functionality for professional touring and sound reinforcement applications.
