Für jeden Kanal gibt es eine Signal-LEDAnzeige. Diese LED leuchtet auf, wenn das am Verstärkerkanal ankommende Eingangssignal verstärkt wird. Cada canal tiene un LED de señal. Este LED se enciende cuando se amplifica la señal de entrada que llega al canal del amplificador. Chaque chaîne a un signal DEL.

Note: Use extreme caution when operating the amplifier in bridged mode. Never ground either side of the speaker cable when the amplifier is in bridged mode; both sides are “hot.” If an output patch panel is used, all connections must be isolated from each other and from the panel. The recommended minimum nominal load impedance in the bridged mode is 4 ohms, which is the equivalent to driving both channels at 2 ohms.

TourClass Protection Features TourClass Schutzschaltungen Características de Protección TourClass Caracteristiques de Protecion TourClass Every model in the V & Vs Series incorporates TourClass protection features. Derived from Crest’s extensive experience with the world’s largest sound rental companies, the TourClass group of circuits sets new standards in load and amplifier protection. Die Modelle der Baureihe V & Vs verfügen alle über TourClass- Schutzschaltungsfunktionen.
Thermal Protection. Wärmeschutz. Protección térmica. Protection thermique. If the heatsink temperature reaches an abnormally high temperature, the amplifier will protect itself by disconnecting loudspeakers and shutting down until sufficiently cooled. During this time, the Protect LED’s will light. If the power transformer gets too hot, its thermal sensing circuit will disconnect both channel outputs.
