The Crest PA 150 is a rugged, medium-power amplifier with features that make it stand alone in the industry. It's a rack-mountable unit which occupies only one rack space, and yet packs a 75 Watts RMS per channel punch into 4, 8, or 16 Ohms. It's selectable; a feature seldom found on the typical solid state amp. In bridge mode, this power amp delivers 150 Watts RMS into 8, 16, and 32 Ohms. (32 Ohms is the load impedance for a 150 Watt, 70 Volt distribution system). There's no fan in the PA 150 to make noise. Adequate cooling is provided by two massive heat sinks. Each channel is protected from excessive operating temperatures with a thermal/fault system that is automatic, and only activates under extreme conditions.
