This auction is for a "B" stock Crown I-Tech 8000 power amplifier. With the highest power output and lowest current draw on the planet, all packed into a 2 rack space, 27 pound package, Crown's new I-Tech line is the new standard in professional power amlifiers. The IT8000 will produce a rock solid 4000W per channel into a 4 Ohm load. This is not a bogus single channel driven at 1kHz, 1% THD, "component tolerance dependant" power spec like some of the competition. The Crown spec is rated with a real world 20-20kHz signal at .35% THD with both channels driven and is guaranteed regardless of component tolerance. A power factor corrected(PFC) power supply assures that the IT8000 will also perform up to spec on any line power ranging from 100-240V and 50-60Hz which means that it is usable worldwide without any type of conversion or voltage transformers. Each unit is even supplied with 5 different IEC power cables so it can be used in virtually any country worldwide right away. Besides fantastic sound and power output, every I-Tech amplifier is equipped with a full featured digital speaker processor(DSP) on each channel with parametric filters, crossover slopes, delay and limiting. Buy with confidence and own the new benchmark in professional power amplifiers at a great price.

What is "B" stock?

A "B" stock unit may have a cosmetic mark or blemish, either from customer return or manufacturing. This amplifier has been tested and certified to perform to the same specs as any new unit. This performance guarantee is backed up by the same full warranty as any new perfect stock item

BEST PRICE GUARANTEE DETAILS:

We will NOT be undersold. We will beat ANY advertised price on new, in stock items. If you spot a lower price, we want to know about it.  All you need to do is provide us a link, or a verifiable price quote. We can give better pricing than unauthorized "gray market" sellers, and you will receive the full Crown 3yr "No Fault" warranty

Why risk losing out on the best warranty coverage in the business?

Crown has the best "No Fault" warranty in the business, and it is a very valuable part of any new amp purchase. If another seller tells you that your ebay check out or paypal invoice is all you need they are not telling the whole truth. Crown requires an invoice clearly identifying the dealer from whom you purchased the amp to validate the warranty. If the paypal invoice or ebay info shows a verifiable dealer name and address it is OK. If all they will give you is an ebay handle like "worldofcheapstuff" or "zippysgear" without an address or any contact info your warranty coverage is in serious jeopardy.

Why risk it when you can get the same low price from us? We are authorized full line Crown dealers (Big Time Audio / proaudiomart.com, call 1- 800-342-6939  to verify), so this amplifier will carry the FULL FACTORY WARRANTY  starting on your date of purchase. Buy with confidence from an authorized dealer today at a great ebay price. Please feel free to contact us with any questions: brian@bigtimefans.com or 1-414-339-0557

Crown "No Fault" Warranty Guarantee:

Unlike other manufacturer’s limited warranties, Crown guarantees that your new amplifier will meet or exceed original specifications for a full three years of ownership. During this time, if your amplifier fails, for any reason, it will be repaired or replaced at our expense. This includes parts, labor and round-trip (ground transportation) shipping, even a shipping carton should you need one.

We will combine shipping on multi-auction purchases to save you money. Just drop us an e-mail (brian@bigtimefans.com) and we'll be happy to give you a revised shipping total. 

This amp has a universal power supply, so it will work on input power ranging from 100-240V, 50-60Hz and it is supplied with 5 different power cords, so it should work worldwide right away.

The following is a description and specs from Crown:

The Crown I-Tech Series offers amazing power, light weight and ease of use for touring sound and installed sound applications. Onboard DSP provides a wide array of signal processing, greatly reducing the need for rack components and rack wiring. Onboard DSP features 24-bit, 96 kHz A/D and D/A converters. All models are compatible with the HiQnet Network and TCP/IQ networking. Digital audio and HiQnet/IQ control signals connect to the amp via a single CobraNet cable in optional CN models, coming soon. Pushbutton DSP presets simplify the setup for various loudspeaker arrays. The Global Power Supply works anywhere in the world, and offers PFC (Power Factor Correction). It is a switching power supply for reduced weight. I-Tech amplifiers have the highest output voltage in the industry (200V peak), which provides clean transient peaks. The 3rd-generation patented Class-I (BCA®) circuitry couples power efficiently to the load and allows low AC current drain. A front-panel control screen shows advanced diagnostics and status information.

Features

• Unmatched power in a 2U lightweight chassis.
• Global power supply with Power Factor Correction.
