Absolute sonic accuracy is the hallmark of every Crest amplifier.
Bass is solid and defined to the limits of audibility, with ample
current reserves delivered by an “over-engineered” power supply
and advanced Class H circuitry. Wide-bandwidth output devices
assure detailed, transparent high frequency response. And, thanks
to Crest’s exclusive IGM circuit, the CA6-X will drive loads
safely without compromise in performance.

Construction and Quality Control
•
The CA6-X is built exclusively in Crest’s own USA manufactur-
ing facility, with internal components selected for premium qual-
ity and proven durability. Each modular subassembly is pre-test-
ed, and the assembled CA6-X receives a rigorous “hot room”
burn-in before thorough final checkout on precision test equip-
ment.
-
ACL (Active Clip Limiting) prevents speaker damage with
gentle gain reduction at clip threshold.
-
IGM (Instantaneous Gain Modulation) monitors speaker
loads to detect conditions that may overstress output
devices, allowing safe operation.
-
-
AutoRamp gradually increases gain to attenuator setting
level when amplifier is turned on.
TourClass also includes comprehensive thermal manage-
ment, and short circuit, DC voltage, turn-on/off transient,
current inrush and sub/ultrasonic input protection.
• Input sensitivity selection
• Recessed, stepped attenuators
• Front panel circuit breaker switch
• Modular construction
• Five-year warranty*
