Crown IT9000HD

Crown IT9000HD

The Crown IT9000HD is a high-powered amplifier engineered for demanding studio and post-production monitoring applications. This unit delivers exceptional headroom and processing capability in a chassis built to maintain sonic integrity across extended sessions, making it the choice for control rooms, mastering suites, and multi-channel monitoring systems that demand reliability and precise audio reproduction.

Power & Amplification for Studio Monitoring

Rated at 3500 watts per channel at 4 ohms and 1500W per channel at 8 ohms, the IT9000HD provides ample driving force for active monitor systems and multi-channel studio setups. A damping factor exceeding 5000 (20 Hz to 100 Hz at 8 ohms) ensures tight, controlled low-end response with minimal speaker interaction, critical for accurate mix translation.

Audio Processing & Signal Chain

The integrated BSS OMNIDRIVEHD™ processing engine with Linear Phase FIR filters and LevelMAX™ limiters manages complex monitoring chains and protects equipment during peak transients. 24-bit 192 kHz Cirrus Logic A/D and D/A converters preserve audio fidelity throughout the signal path, while AES/EBU digital input (24-bit, 32–96 kHz with sample-rate conversion) and TCP/IP and HiQnet network connectivity over 100 Mb Ethernet enable flexible studio integration and remote gain management.
