Crown IT9000HD

Crown IT9000HD

The Crown IT9000HD is a high-powered tour-grade amplifier engineered for demanding live reinforcement and installed sound applications. This unit delivers exceptional headroom and processing capability in a chassis built to withstand professional touring environments, making it the choice for sound engineers and system operators who demand reliability and sonic precision on the road and in permanent installations.

Power & Amplification

Rated at 3500 watts per channel at 4 ohms and 1500W per channel at 8 ohms, the IT9000HD provides serious driving force for large-scale speaker systems and complex installations. A damping factor exceeding 5000 (20 Hz to 100 Hz at 8 ohms) ensures tight, controlled bass response with minimal speaker resonance—critical for live mixes where kick and low-end punch matter.

Audio Processing & Signal Chain

The integrated BSS OMNIDRIVEHD™ processing engine with Linear Phase FIR filters and LevelMAX™ limiters handles complex signal management and system protection without compromising sound quality. 24-bit 192 kHz Cirrus Logic A/D and D/A converters preserve audio fidelity throughout the signal chain, while AES/EBU digital input (24-bit, 32–96 kHz with sample-rate conversion) and TCP/IP and HiQnet network connectivity over 100 Mb Ethernet enable flexible system integration and remote operation from FOH or anywhere in the venue.
