Crown I-Tech HD is a professional two-channel touring amplifier designed to deliver powerful, reliable performance for demanding live sound applications. Built on Crown’s decades of audio engineering innovation, it incorporates five patented technologies, including three related to its power supply.

At the heart of the Crown I-Tech HD is the BSS OMNIDRIVEHD digital signal processing engine, featuring IIR filters, linear-phase FIR filters, and LevelMAX peak voltage and RMS power limiters. Its 24-bit, 192kHz Cirrus Logic SHARC A/D and D/A converters provide high-definition signal processing, while Sweep Load Monitoring (SLM) offers system-level diagnostics.

The Crown I-Tech HD offers flexible integration with analog, AES/EBU, CobraNet, HiQnet, and Ethernet connectivity, allowing inputs to be routed to either output. Its universal AC power supply supports 100–240V at 50/60Hz (±15%), making it suitable for use in a variety of professional environments. A front-panel USB connector enables DSP preset transfers, while the software interface simplifies configuration and system management.
