LPS SERIES
The LPS Series of power amplifiers from
Crown®represents a new era in afford-
able, quality power amplification. All three
models in the series are powerful, rugged and
reliable. They are suited for applications such as
churches, concert tours, stages, disco, pubs, or
any place that requires amplifier installation.
The three models in the series are the LPS-
800, LPS-1500 and LPS-2500. They are identi-
cal except for output power.
Features include XLR inputs, Speakon®and
binding post outputs, stereo/parallel/bridge-
mono mode, power/fault/signal presence/clip
indicators, forced-air cooling; and protection
against shorts, no-load, on/off thumps and
radio-frequency interference. Every LPS Series
amplifier is backed by a one-year limited war-
ranty.
With over six decades of experience designing
and building rock-solid products, Crown is the
standard in amplifier technology. So check out
the affordable Crown LPS Series. They are a
powerful argument for quality and value!

220VAC/50Hz, 240VAC/50Hz.
Front Panel Controls and Indicators
Fault Indicator: Red LED, one per channel ,
indicates channel shutdown.
Clip Indicator: Red LED, one per channel,
flashes when signal is audibly distorting.
Signal Presence Indicator: Green LED, one
per channel, flashes when input signal exceeds
–40 dBu.
Power Switch: Push-on, push-off.
Power Indicator: Blue LED illuminates when
amplifier is on.

posts per channel connects to loudspeakers;
accepts banana plugs or bare wire. (European
models do not accept banana plugs.)
Input Connectors: Balanced XLR, one per
channel.
Output Mode Switch: Stereo (dual), Parallel or
Bridge.
