Operation Manual
4.3.3 Tamper-Resistant Hole Plugs
Your CE Series amplifier comes with a set of
tamper-resistant hole plugs, which allow you to
“protect” the level controls against unauthorized
adjustment. To use, simply pull off the control
knobs from the front of the amp, and slip the hole
plugs into place (see Figure 4.8). The plugs should
press easily into position with light force. Once in
place, the plugs will help to avoid most accidental
or intentional tampering (some situations may
require additional security measures).
To remove the hole plugs, simply pry the plug away
from the amplifier case using a small, flat-blade
screwdriver. To help to ensure adequate security, the
plugs have been designed to be more difficult to
remove than to place into position. If necessary,
additional hole plugs can be purchased separately
from Crown’s Parts Department (Part # 103234-1).
Store your knobs in a safe location should you need
to make level adjustments in the future.
4.3.4 Optional 0.775-V Input
Sensitivity Setting
The CE Series amplifier also provides an optional
0.775-V input sensitivity setting. If you determine
that your application requires this sensitivity set-
ting, please contact Crown Technical Support for
more information.

4.3.2 Alternate Output Connectors
For added system flexibility, Crown offers optional
secondary output connectors that are compatible
with the current CE versions: CE 1000A , CE 2000A,
CE 1000B and CE 2000B amplifiers. (These model
numbers are printed only on the serial number
