If you've spent any time at all in professional audio, you know the name Crown and what it stands for - incredible performance and sound, the ultimate in reliability under harsh conditions, and the best support in the business. These are just a few of the reasons why the world's biggest tours and most prestigious installations have Crown amps in their racks. The result is an amplifier capable of chest-thumping lows that easily handles real 2-ohm loads and runs longer.
This three-rack-space steel chassis is as rugged as you might expect but weighs a manageable 40.3 pounds; rear rack ears are included. The amp vents front and back but is shallower than most, so you can house it in shallow or wall-mount racks without blocking the rear exhaust fan.
The CE 1000 provides 400 watts per channel in stereo 8-ohm mode and up to 1950 watts in bridge-mono at 4 ohms. The reported frequency response is 20 Hz-20 kHz. Connections on the back include a barrier strip and ¼-inch phone or XLR inputs, all balanced or unbalanced. Outputs are via Neutrik’s Speakon connectors. The rear also houses the mode switch and input sensitivity switch, which lets you optimize performance to the output of your mixer. Individual volume, power, breaker reset and indicator lights all reside up front. Among the CE 1000’s coolest features are controls that can be removed to prevent unauthorized tweaking. The Power Amp is lightweight and roadworthy. It works with any line voltage, and its Switch Mode Power Supply allows enormous power with less weight. Other features include sophisticated protection circuitry (from shorted, open, or mismatched loads, input and high frequency overloads), a 5-way fault indicator, a red LED on each channel that turns on when distortion becomes audible, a green signal-present LED, detented level controls, a mode select switch for stereo or bridged, and a 3-speed fan.

CE 1000:
30.5-dB gain at 1.4-volt sensitivity; 26-dB gain at 2.34-volt sensitivity
Required AC Mains:
50/60 Hz (North American units are 60 Hz only); 100, 120 and 230-240 VAC (+/-10%) units are available
AC Line Current,
100 Volts: 11.4 A;
120 Volts: 9.5 A;
230-240 Volts: 5.0 A;
At Idle:
All amps draw no more than 90 watts
AC Line Connector:
NEMA 5-15P (15 A)
Performance:
Frequency Response: +/-0.2 dB from 20 Hz to 25 kHz at 1 watt
Phase Response: +/-15 degrees from 20 Hz to 20 kHz at 1 watt
Signal-to-Noise Ratio, A-Weighted: Better than 105 dB below rated 1-kHz power; 20 Hz to 20 kHz: Better than 100 dB below rated 1-kHz power
Total Harmonic Distortion (THD): 1-kHz rated power, 0.5% or less true THD from 20 Hz to 20 kHz
Intermodulation Distortion (IMD): (60 Hz and 7 kHz at 4:1) Less than 0.1% at rated power to 35 dB below rated power at 8 ohms

Common Mode Rejection (CMR): Better than 70 dB from 20 Hz to 1 kHz
DC Output Offset (Shorted Input): +/-10 mV
Controls:
Level:
A detented rotary level control for each channel located on the front panel.
Power:
An on/off rocker switch located on the front panel.
A green LED that turns on when the amplifier has been turned on and has power
Mode:
Turn power off before switching. A 2-position switch located on the back panel below the input connectors which, when turned to stereo, operates the amplifier as 2 independent channels. When "Bridge-Mono" mode is selected, the amplifier bridges the 2 output channels for twice the output voltage.
Sensitivity:
A 2-position switch located on the back panel next to the Mode switch. Switchable between 1.4 volts for full output into an 8-ohm load (default setting), or a fixed voltage gain of 26 dB.
Indicators:
Signal:
A green LED for each channel which flashes when a very low-level signal (>40 dBm) is present at input. May be used for troubleshooting cable runs.
Clip:
A red LED for each channel which turns on when distortion becomes audible in the amplifier output.
Fault:
Normally off, this red indicator will blink under 5 different conditions:
When the amplifier is first powered up, until the unit is ready for operation. If the heatsinks reach a temperature above normal working limits. If the transformer thermal protection circuit is activated. If amplifier output wires develop a short-circuit. Should the amplifier output stage become non-operational. This circuit may be monitored remotely by plugging a simple switching circuit using an LED or other signaling device into the back-panel RJ-11 (Fault) jack. Under some conditions, the output of the amplifier will be muted.
