Crown’s Three-Year, No-Fault, Fully Transferable Warranty
Crown offers a Three-Year, No-Fault, Fully Transferable Warranty for every new Crown ampli-
fier—an unsurpassed industry standard. With this unprecedented No-Fault protection, your new
Crown amplifier is warranted to meet or exceed original specifications for the first three years of
ownership. During this time, if your amplifier fails, or does not perform to original specifications,
it will be repaired or replaced at our expense. About the only things not covered by this warranty
are those losses normally covered by insurance and those caused by intentional abuse. And the
coverage is transferable, should you sell your amplifier.
See your authorized Crown dealer for full warranty disclosure and details. For customers outside
of the USA, please contact your authorized Crown distributor for warranty information or call
219-294-8200.

The Pulse Series amplifiers are high per-
formance professional power amplifiers
capable of delivering major power output
from a new generation of switched mode power
supplies. All Pulse Series amplifiers are housed
in the same size 2U cases and feature light,
powerful switching power supplies along with
massive heatsinks and two dual-speed fans.
Microprocessor supervision of the power sup-
plies, protection and thermal systems ensures
that the amplifier is always operating correctly
thereby protecting both the amplifier and your
speakers from failure.
Pulse Series amplifiers are as equally at home
in critical fixed installations and in demand-
ing, live touring sound environments. Capable
of maintaining excellent performance when
being driven to their limit with real loud-
speaker loads, Pulse amplifiers are solid and
reliable—an amp you can count on.
At Crown, sonic performance is always in the
forefront of our minds. Like all Crown amps,
Pulse Series amplifiers have undergone rigor-
ous testing in order to ensure their sonic qual-
ity and reliability. And every Pulse amplifier is
backed by Crown’s unequaled Three-Year, No-
Fault, Fully-Transferable Warranty that covers
everything.
