AMP-X500

lENERGY STAR® certified power amplifier

lCompact 1 RU form factor with cool-running operation

lQuiet, fanless convection-cooled design

lConfigurable for either Lo-Z (4/8 Ω) or Hi-Z (70V or 100V) operation

lBUS line input and output for sending the same signal to multiple amps

lLow noise, low distortion, high headroom

lComprehensive fault and speaker protection

lCaptive speaker connectors for secure and robust connectivity

lBalanced and unbalanced inputs

lStandby feature instantly turns on amplifier when input sensing circuitry detects an audio

signal

lAlways On feature allows constant on connection with minimal power consumption

lInternal universal 100-240V power supply

Lo-Z (4/8 Ω) and Hi-Z (70V or 100V) Operation

The AMP-X500 is a 2-channel amplifier with a BUSline input and output. Using the BUS line, a

signal can be passed through to multiple amps with a single RCAconnection from the source. A

choice of Lo-Z output settings to drive 4- or 8-Ω speakers, or Hi-Z output settings to drive a

distributed speaker system (70V or 100V) can be used. Balanced/Unbalanced inputs are

provided for connection to stereo or two mono sources through detachable terminal blocks or

RCAconnectors.

NOTE: Each configuration can output up to its respective power rating.

Solid andEfficient Performance

The AMP-X500 is engineered to deliver exceptional performance and reliability with low

distortion, low noise, and high power headroom. Advanced Class D technology maximizes

efficiency to reduce power consumption and heat dissipation. An internal universal power supply

ensures consistent performance at varying line voltages.

Stackable Design

The AMP-X500 is housed in a compact 1 RU form factor. The efficient design ensures cool

running operation and long term reliability. The amplifier is high-density stackable with other

Crestron amps, allowing multiple units to be installed vertically in an equipment rack without

needing extra ventilation space. Rack mount parts are included, so no additional mounting

accessories or rack shelves are required.

Fully Protected

The AMP-X500 features protection against overheating, shorted or overloaded speaker lines,

excessive input signals, and other faults. In the case of a shorted speaker line or overheating

condition, paired outputs mute automatically until the fault condition is resolved. In the event of

a prolonged fault, all outputs mute and the amplifier shuts down.

ENERGY STAR® Certified

An energy-efficient design enables the AMP-X500 to meet demanding ENERGY STAR

requirements. In addition to its high efficiency under operation, the amplifier draws no added

inrush current during power-up, thereby reducing AC circuit requirements and allowing multiple

amplifiers to be connected to a single switched circuit. To reduce energy usage further, the AMP-

X500 can be configured to enter a low-power standby state if no input signal is detected on any

channel for 25 minutes. Signal detection sensitivity has been optimized to improve response time

when triggering the amplifier to the on state, allowing it to return to full operation within a half-

second. The REMOTE input can be connected to a contact closure to place the amplifier outputs

in controlled standby mode.

Lo-Z (4/8 Ω) and Hi-Z (70V or 100V) Operation

The AMP-X750 is a 3-channel amplifier with a BUSline input and output. Using the BUS line, a

signal can be passed through to multiple amps with a single RCAconnection from the source. A

choice of Lo-Z output settings to drive 4- or 8-Ω speakers, or Hi-Z output settings to drive a

distributed speaker system (70V or 100V) can be used. Balanced/Unbalanced inputs are

provided for connection to two stereo or three mono sources through detachable terminal blocks

or RCAconnectors.

NOTE: Each configuration can output up to its respective power rating.

The AMP-X750 is engineered to deliver exceptional performance and reliability with low

distortion, low noise, and high power headroom. Advanced Class D technology maximizes

efficiency to reduce power consumption and heat dissipation. An internal universal power supply
