Description
Crown I-Tech HD Amplifier
The I-Tech HD is a highly advanced professional touring amplifier, designed with decades of Crown innovation and five new patents—three of which are for the power supply. At its core is the BSS OMNIDRIVEHD™ DSP engine, four times faster than its predecessor, featuring Linear Phase FIR filters and LevelMAX™ limiters for unmatched audio clarity and pure signal processing.
