The Crown Macrotech was designed for people that have a
clue what they are doing.
I don't know how anyone can call the two color limit light
a clip light, when the limit light only triggers red if
your driving a very low impedance.
I've had my limit lights trigger only twice, in a 9 year
period.
Back in 1996, when I was driving 1 ohm stereo,(I wanted to
see if it could do it
)and, the Subwoofer Shootout
in NY, in 2003 when we overdrove the PL 9.0, Crest 10,001,
and, MA 5000, to hear how each amp sounded in 2 ohms once
overdriven on Bassmaxx, and, BDeap 32. And we backed off
so it wouldn't blink during the test.
Surely something the average soundman would do if they
have enough amps, and, subs to begin with.
The limit light flashes red when the amp reaches its current
limit. Voltage wise, if its triggering, you've gone far beyond
clipping...
Anyone who doesn't understand what the Load/Limit lights
mean, need to turn to page 22 on their manual.
The Macrotech is the most detailed manual in the market.
So, if anyone is losing drivers on the MA 5000, don't
blame the amp, blame yourself for not reading the manual.
Sheldon DI agree. A rack of Macrotechs do look like a lited Christmas
Tree.
