Roland Rock Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 (edited) I've seen something that I really want, so am putting my almighty Crest CA9 up for sale. Bought on BC [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/257225-crest-ca9-now-sold/page__p__2715699__hl__crest%20ca9__fromsearch__1#entry2715699"]here[/url] it is still in its Gator rack case and in great condition. [url="http://www.crestaudio.com/media/pdf/ca9_11-25-97.pdf"]Crest CA9[/url] It's a hefty 25kg, so not one for taking on long walks, but is surprisingly easy to carry one-handed due to the case handles. Most of the weight is down to the epic power transformer which allows this beasty to effortlessly deliver massive gobs of power. Specs: 8 Ohm Stereo - 600 W 4 Ohm Stereo - 900 W 2 Ohm Stereo - 1000 W 8 Ohm Bridged - 1800 W 4 Ohm Bridged - 2000 W Legendary over-built power supply Toroidal power transformer. Latest generation of high-speed, wide-bandwidth output devices. Twin-tunnel cooling with back-to-front air flow. Dual, rear-mounted, continuously variable-speed fans. Balanced male and female XLR inputs with switch-configurable XLR polarity and sensitivity selection. Speakon® output connectors (market dependent). Stereo, parallel, bridged-mono mode selector switch. Ground-lift switch Front panel circuit-breaker switch. Recessed, stepped attenuators SIGNAL present/active, PROTECT, and ACL LED's. Modular construction Powder-coated steel chassis.

Roland Rock Posted February 5, 2016 Author Share Posted February 5, 2016 Cheers, yes it is indeed epic. The power amp Jim Bergantino recommends (although I'd imagine he'll be recommending the Berg amp once it arrives;)) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roland Rock Posted February 9, 2016 Author Share Posted February 9, 2016 (edited) Cheers Grahame. In the year I've had it, not one single gig without PA support -I can't unleash the beast! I'll miss the oceans of headroom though. Edited February 14, 2016 by Roland Rock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
