CKd™ 608 - 8 x 625W @4-8Ohm/70-100V amplifier

Description:

Decades of proven performance, reliability and intelligence converge in the Crest Audio CKd™ Series, which combines the legendary oversized power supply design made famous by the Crest Audio Pro 200™ with NexSys® networking functionality and an ultra-lightweight Class D topology. The design focuses on an ultra-high-efficiency amplifier output circuit that reduces weight while increasing output power, reliability and thermal efficiency.



The CKd series offers four multi-channel models to meet the needs of demanding audio installations. The CKd 608 and CKd 604 provide 625 watts per channel in eight and four channels. Each amplifier channel will operate at rated power in direct 70V, 100V, 4 or 8 Ohm mode, configurable per channel.

The CKd amplifiers are networkable via the new Crest Audio Nx Dante-8™ NexSys control module to the Crest Audio NexSys 5 and Peavey® MediaMatrix® NWare™ software programmes for advanced control and audio routing. The Nx Dante-8 module fits into the rear housing of the CKd Series power amplifiers and supports all NexSys functions, DSP functions and Dante digital audio I/O via 1 Gigabit Ethernet connection.

A control voltage input is included on each channel to allow external gain control, while the Fault output on each channel allows CKd power amplifiers to be connected to other monitoring systems. In addition, users can save energy by disabling unused channels.

The CKd series includes Crest Audio's exclusive ACL™ (Active Clip Limiting), which automatically reduces gain at the onset of clipping to prevent damage to the amplifier and load, and IGM™ (Instantaneous Gain Modulation), which monitors load current to protect against overloading.
