2.1 Installation  
2.2 How to Attach Rack Ears  
1. Locate the two rack ears and two rack-ear screws  
supplied.  
2. See Figure 2.2. Remove the two screws from each  
side of the chassis near the front.  
3. Place a rack ear flush with the right front of the  
chassis.  
4. Insert a screw that you removed into the bottom  
hole of the rack ear and chassis. Screw it in.  
5. Insert a screw that you removed into the center  
hole of the rack ear and chassis. Screw it in.  
6. Insert one of the supplied screws into the top hole  
of the rack ear and chassis. Screw it in.  
7. Repeat steps 3-6 for the left side of the chassis.  
CAUTION: Before you begin, make sure your  
180MAx is disconnected from the power  
source, with the power switch in the “off”  
position and all level controls turned  
completely down (counterclockwise).  
Use a standard 19-inch (48.3 cm) equipment rack  
(EIA RS-310B). See Figure 2.1 for amplifier  
dimensions.  
You may also stack mixer-amps without using a  
cabinet, or you may place a single mixer-amp on a  
surface with 12 inches of air space around the unit  
for convection cooling.  
Figure 2.2 How to Connect Rack Ears  
NOTE: When transporting in a rack, mixer-amps  
should be supported at the front and back.  
When using an equipment rack, do not mount units  
directly on top of each other. Allow 2 rack units (3.5  
inches) between units for convection cooling. The  
side walls of the rack should be a minimum of two  
inches (5.1 cm) away from the amplifier sides, and  
the back of the rack should be a minimum of four  
inches (10.2 cm) from the amplifier back panel.

4. Optimize the signal strength.  
Have someone hold the antenna as you optimize the signal strength  
(described next).  
INSTALLING THE ANTENNA  
OPERATING THE XM TUNER  
You can control the XM tuner by the 180MAx front-panel buttons or by the  
included remote control. If the power fails, the tuner will automatically  
return to its state before power loss.  
1. Connect the antenna.  
Connect the included XM antenna to the XM antenna input on the back of  
the 180MAx.  
A display will appear similar to the one below:  
The XM tuner display and controls are shown below.  
You will be mounting the antenna near a south-facing wall. The antenna  
comes with 20 feet of cable. If that is not sufficient to reach the 180MAx,  
purchase a 50-foot cable extension kit. Up to two extensions can be used  
together for up to 120 total feet of cable. Alternatively, you can use custom  
lengths of 50 ohm RG58U, or obtain extension kits from third-party  
sources. For outdoor antenna installation options, go to  
• The LCD display shows channel information.  
• The Menu button selects Direct, Preset, or Category mode (explained  
later).  
• The Category < > buttons select Categories (rock, country, jazz,  
news, etc.)

Signal-strength indicator  
• The Scroll knob lets you scroll through the XM channels and select

At the bottom right of the screen is a small box that indicates signal  
strength. Orient the antenna to achieve maximum signal strength (fill the  
box as much as possible).  
2.Turn on the 180MAx.  
Verify the power indicator is illuminated and the display backlight is on.  
Infrared remote sensor  
Scroll knob  
LCD display  
If the antenna does not have a clear path to the satellites, the display will  
read “NO SIGNAL”.  
If the message “CHECK ANTENNA” appears, check that the antenna  
connector is tightly connected and that the antenna cable is not shorted.  
5. Set the listening volume.  
3. Align the antenna.  
Turn up the XM input volume control until you hear the XM radio signal at  
a low volume. If the system is working, you will hear XM programming on  
channel 1 and you can proceed to activate the 180MAx.  
For indoor installation on a flat surface:  
Set the antenna on its base on a flat horizontal surface, ideally near a  
south-facing wall, and near a window if possible.  
6. Activate your XM account.  
Turn the base of the antenna so that the XM logo is facing to the south if  
you are in the eastern half of the U.S. and to the south/southeast if you are  
in the western half of the U.S.  
After verifying channel 1 audio, you must activate your XM account to  
access all XM channels. Commercial accounts must sign up for and  
activate under the terms of XM’s Commercial Service.  
Default Display  
For outdoor installation:  
First obtain the XM Radio ID number of your unit. Turn the Scroll knob  
until you see channel 0 on the LCD display and press the Scroll knob to  
select this channel, or press Direct Entry then 0 and OK on the remote  
control. The 8-digit XM Radio ID will appear in the top section of the  
display.  
The default display shows the current channel number, channel name,  
Category name, artist name and song title. The word “Direct” appears at  
the bottom left of the screen. That means the tuner is in Direct mode: you  
can select channels directly from the remote control if you wish. You can  
also select channels using the front-panel controls.  
For indoor wall mounting:  
You will mount the antenna near a south-facing wall, and near a window if  
possible.  
1. Insert four screws (not supplied) in the wall so they align with the  
holes in the base of the antenna.  
2. Tilt the antenna fully back on the base.  
3. Place the antenna base on the four screw heads with the antenna pivot  
at the top.  
4. Pull down the base approximately 1/4 inch until the base is firmly  
secured. The XM logo will be upside down when the antenna is properly  
installed.  
Record the 8-character ID in the space below, noting that letters I, O, S and  
F are not used and that the number zero has a line running diagonally  
through it.

4 Troubleshooting  
CONDITION: No sound.  
CONDITION: No power.  
POSSIBLE REASON:  
POSSIBLE REASON:  
The amplifier is in “fault” mode. A Fault status  
can be triggered when one of the amplifier’s  
protection circuits is activated. First disconnect  
your speakers from the affected channel(s) one  
by one to determine if one of the loads is  
shorted. If an amplifier channel has a thermal  
fault, there will be no indication on the front  
panel, but the amp will recover after cooling. If  
operation does not return to normal after  
restarting your amp, press the Reset button on  
the back panel, or return mixer-amp to Crown or  
an authorized Crown Service Center for  
servicing.  
The mixer-amplifier’s Power switch is off.  
The mixer-amplifier is not plugged into the  
power receptacle.  
The mixer-amplifier’s high-voltage power  
supply circuit breaker has tripped. Verify that  
the AC mains voltage is correct, then press the  
Reset button on the back panel.  
No input signal.  
Input signal level is very low.  
CONDITION: Distorted sound.  
POSSIBLE REASON:  
Input signal level is too high. Turn down your  
input volume controls. NOTE: Your mixer-  
amplifier should never be operated at a level  
which causes the Clip LED to illuminate  
constantly.  
Master volume level is too high. Turn it down to  
about 3/4 of maximum level.
