Description
Crown I-Tech HD Touring Amplifier
The I-Tech HD is a state-of-the-art professional touring amplifier designed for maximum performance, reliability, and flexibility. Featuring five new patents—three for the power supply alone—it surpasses traditional expectations. At its core is the BSS OMNIDRIVEHD™ DSP engine, four times faster than its predecessor, with Linear Phase FIR filters and LevelMAX™ limiters for unmatched clarity and sonically pure audio.
