Crown Audio I-Tech 5000HD Two-channel 2500W Power Amplifier
Overview

Inside and out,the I-Tech HD is one of the most technologically advanced professional touring amplifiers on the market today. Building on the decades of innovation,invention,and insight Crown is known for,the I-Tech HD features five new patents – three on the power supply alone – giving you an amp that goes well beyond the expected. At the heart of the new I-Tech HD is the BSS OMNIDRIVEHD™ processing engine. Four times faster than its predecessor and featuring Linear Phase FIR filters and LevelMAX™ limiters,OMNIDRIVEHD provides unmatched clarity and sonically pure signal processing.

Features

Innovation

• BSS OMNIDRIVEHD™ DSP processing with IIR filters and linear phase FIR filters

• Covered by five patents

• Fan has true tachometer feedback for fan fault protection and precise control over thermal performance,so the amp runs longer and harder than the competition

• Includes SLM (Sweep Load Monitoring) with system-level diagnostics

Performance

• Ultra smooth processing by onboard high-definition BSS OMNIDRIVEHD DSP with 24-bit,192kHz Cirrus Logic SHARC A/D and D/A converters

• LevelMAX™ peak voltage and RMS power limiters communicate with each other,resulting in smooth and accurate response,better sound

• True Ethernet backbone – fast,reliable and scalable

• High common-mode rejection eliminates hum and RFI on input cables

• 6th-generation patented Class-I (BCA®) circuitry couples power efficiently to the load and provides low AC current draw

Versatility

• Global Power Supply; universal AC input accepts100-240VAC,50/60Hz (±15%)

• Front-panel USB connector transfers presets to/from a USB drive to the amp’s DSP

• New software interface based on customer feedback manages presets,provides easier system-level changes,and includes a configuration wizard

• The only product available with analog,AES/EBU,CobraNet®,HiQnet™and Ethernet connectivity

• User -definable front panel security feature

• The only tour sound amplifier that provides inputs routable to any output (analog,AES,or CobraNet)

Power

• Professional-grade connectors for all inputs and outputs

• Full power-supply voltage is always available,allowing instantaneous power on demand

• Quality-graded components let you safely drive the amplifier harder

• More total capacitance provides tremendous energy reserves for power bursts

• 200Vrms peak output voltage provides clean transient peaks

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes the I-Tech 5000HD different from other touring amplifiers?

It features five patented technologies, including three on the power supply alone, and runs on the BSS OMNIDRIVEHD processing engine—four times faster than its predecessor. A tachometer-controlled fan provides precise thermal management, allowing the amp to run longer and harder than comparable models while maintaining low distortion and clean transient peaks.

What inputs and outputs does it support?

The I-Tech 5000HD offers analog, AES/EBU, CobraNet, HiQnet, and Ethernet connectivity, with inputs routable to any output. It includes a front-panel USB connector for transferring presets and a true Ethernet backbone for fast, scalable system integration.

Can it handle different AC power standards in touring situations?

Yes—the global power supply accepts 100–240 VAC, 50/60 Hz (±15%), making it roadworthy worldwide without transformers. Full power-supply voltage is always available for instantaneous power on demand.

What kind of signal processing does it include?

The onboard BSS OMNIDRIVEHD DSP features 24-bit, 192 kHz Cirrus Logic SHARC converters, IIR and Linear Phase FIR filters, and LevelMAX peak voltage and RMS power limiters that communicate for smooth, accurate limiting without sonic artifacts.

Is this amp suitable for smaller venues or practice use?

No—the I-Tech 5000HD is purpose-built for large-venue PA systems and touring. It is not recommended for home recording, practice, or small venues, where its power and features would be unnecessarily expensive.
