Crown Audio CTD-8125 ComTech D Series is a versatile eight-channel Class-D amplifier designed for professional installed audio applications. Delivering 125 watts per channel when all channels are driven equally, it provides a total of 1,000 watts across eight channels, with flexible power sharing that allows each group of four channels to share 500 watts in any ratio.

The CTD-8125 features built-in 24-bit DSP operating at 48 kHz, allowing outputs to be customized for room acoustics and speaker performance. Factory JBL SpeakerTunings are included for select JBL models, including Control 400 Series ceiling speakers. Dante and AES67 network audio connectivity, Lo-Z/Hi-Z switchable outputs, pilot tone and load monitoring, source priority switching, and GPIO interfaces provide additional flexibility.

Designed for professional installations, the Crown Audio CTD-8125 features a 1RU rackmount design with convection cooling for quiet operation. It operates on 100–240V AC at 50/60 Hz and includes an IEC power connection. With a frequency response of 20 Hz to 20 kHz, a 104 dB analog signal-to-noise ratio, and a 113 dB Dante signal-to-noise ratio.
