Crest Audio CM 2204 Power Amplifier

The CM2204 from Crest Audio is a contractor's dream. The CM2204 is a 70 Volt Multi-channel power amplifier capable of handling up 8 channels at 4 ohms loads and above. The Multi-load architecture allows low impedance or 70 Volt operation without select switch (100 or 50 Volt output operation with CMx accessory), making the CM2204 from Crest Audio the perfect choice for permanent installations in the following applications:

• Bars, clubs, restaurants
• Video conferencing systems
• Hotels, motels
• Industrial applications
• Retail stores

The CM2204's 70 Volt system allows the user to place the amplifier in situations were multiple speakers need to be connected together. Since most amplifiers cannot support loads below 4 ohms, the CM2204 utilizes transformers (usually built into the speaker) to control the amount of current that flows to each speaker.  By selecting the appropriate tap on the transformer the user the selects how much power each speaker will receive.  The benefit is that multiple speakers can be connected without altering the resistance.
