welcome
Congratulations on your purchase of a new LT / ST Series professional power amplifier and thank you for your con-
fidence in Crest Audio products.You are among the growing number of audio professionals who have made Crest
Audio one of the world’s leading suppliers of professional and commercial/industrial audio systems.
For your safety, please read the Important Precautions section before installing and operating the amplifier.The Crest
Audio LT and ST Series amplifiers are designed for high operating efficiency and accurate sonic performance across
the full audio bandwidth, even under stressful conditions.
The CrestAudio LT and ST series both utilize Class D amplifier technology which greatly improves the efficiency of
the amplifier and reduces the power demand from the mains supply.The LT amplifier incorporates a linear power
supply whereas the ST uses a resonant switching supply with power delivery characteristics similar to a linear sup-
ply but with greatly reduced weight. Both power supply designs are built to the same uncompromising standards.
This, combined with major advances in amplifier technology provides for extreme reliability and sonic accuracy for
which Crest products are renown.
The Crest audio LT series and ST series amplifiers differ in power supply design,electrical efficiency and weight how-
ever, their feature sets are identical. For this reason, the majority of this users manual applies to both models.
LT linear-toroid power supply
A traditional linear power supply is used in the LT Series. Because of the amplifier sections efficiency, (approx
93%) the transformer does not need to be as big or as heavy.This gives the LT Series an advantage in deliver-
ing more power in a more compact package.
The efficiency of the output stage also gives the power supply the ability to handle heavy-duty cycles without
compromising sonic integrity.
ST resonant-switching power supply
The ST amplifier switching power supply employs a resonant design which utilizes zero-power switching
technology.
Benefits of resonant-switching include:
• reduced power component stress for
better reliability and efficiency
• 20dB lower noise than conventional switching supplies
(and therefore more EMC friendly)
• behaves like a classic linear supply, but with the added
advantages of size and weight reduction
In order to maintain strict quality assurance standards,all CrestAudio power amplifiers are built in our state-of-the-
art USA manufacturing facility. Internal components are the finest available and key sub-assemblies are pre-tested
before final assembly. Each amplifier is “burned in” and thoroughly tested (using precision audio test equipment)
®
before shipping. In addition, all LT / ST Series amplifiers incorporate Crest’s exclusiveTourClass protection features
to safeguard both internal circuitry and connected loudspeakers.
This proven combination of advanced design,quality construction and comprehensive circuit protection is your guar-
antee of fail-safe reliability. You can depend on consistent, stable performance even when your LT / ST Series ampli-
fier is subjected to punishing extremes in the most demanding fixed or mobile sound reinforcement applications.

mounting
All LT / ST Series amplifiers mount in standard 19-inch racks and occupy two rack
spaces. Four front-panel mounting holes are provided on each amplifier. Rear mount-
ing ears give additional support and use of rear supports is highly recommended in all
mobile and touring sound systems. Handles are fitted standard.

cooling and ventilation
LT / ST amplifiers use a forced air cooling system to maintain a low,even operating tem-
perature.
Make certain that there
is enough space around
the front and rear of the
amplifier to allow the
heated air to escape.
When mounting in a rack,
try to avoid using doors
or covers on the front
and rear of the enclosure;
the exhaust air must not
be impeded
a
Air is drawn in by a DC fan on the rear panel, flows through the cooling fins and then
exhausts through the front panel vent.
Heat sink temperature is monitored and controls the variable speed fan. Fan speed
increases only as required, keeping fan noise to a minimum.
suggestion
In racks with closed backs
allow at least one stan-
dard-rack-space opening
for every four amps.
If the heat sink surpasses its maximum allowed temperature, the thermal protection
circuit will activate and open the output relays allowing the amplifier to cool to a safe
temperature. To continue using the amp,it must be reset by turning the power off and
then turning it back on again.
Thermal protect activation only occurs under extreme thermal conditions and is not
part of normal operation.
powering
Unless otherwise specified when ordered, LT / ST amplifiers are supplied factory set
to following voltage options :
Option 1 US domestic
nominal 120Vac 60Hz for rated power output
(safe operating range 100 - 132Vac )
Option 2 export models nominal 230Vac 50Hz for rated power output
(safe operating range 200 - 264Vac )
note
Due to the nature of the switching power supply in the ST, 50 - 60Hz operation is acceptable for both
options.
maintenance
LT / ST amplifiers require no routine maintenance.
If the amplifier is used in an extremely dusty or smoky environment , the unit should
be periodically blown free ( using compressed air ) of any foreign matter that may have
built up inside the unit.
Users will not need to make any adjustments to the amplifier during its lifetime.There
are no user-serviceable parts or adjustments that require opening the amplifier.

Two input attenuators adjust level for their respective amplifier
channels. In Bridged Mono and Parallel modes, the channel A
attenuator controls overall signal level (see rear panel mode switch
description).
Protect
3
This Red LED indicates that the amp channel is in Protect mode.
During Power up, the amp briefly goes into protect mode in order
to prevent any loud spikes from being fed the speakers. After a few
seconds the amp comes out of protect mode and is ready for
normal operation. If the amp stays in Protect mode, this indicates
that there may be a problem internal to the amp. If the amp goes
into Protect mode during operation this indicates that either a
problem has developed internal to the amp or the amp is being
over-stressed and needs to cool down. After a Protect condition, the
amp must be reset by cycling the power off and then on again in order
to continue using it.

Binding posts: One pair (Red- hot, Black- ground) per channel.
Speakons - One connector for each channel. In Bridged Mono
mode, the Speakon connector for Channel A is used exclusively
(see Operation Modes).

Ground lift switch
5
The recessed two-position ground lift switch is used to isolate the
amp’s signal ground from the chassis/AC ground.The factory default
setting is to the right, Grounded.To lift, or disconnect the signal
ground from the chassis/AC ground, slide the switch to the left.
In situations where chassis ground must be lifted, use this switch -
never lift the ground prong on the AC connector.
In situations where an UNBAL-
a
ANCED signal is fed to the amp, it’s
important to ground the unused
input. If the inverting (-) input of an
amp channel is left floating, the chan-
nels gain will drop by 6 dB. In effect,
the amp will not be as loud. For more
information about this, ask your dealer
or contact Crest AudioTechnical
Support directly.
Input connections

Input signals can be connected to the amp via the Phoenix connec-
tors, the 1/4”TRS connectors and the Female XLR (pin 2 hot) con-
nectors. Input sensitivity is .775v (0 dBv) for full rated output
power. See Connections

mode selection
The three-position,recessed Mode Select switch (located on the rear panel)
configures the amplifier for Stereo, Parallel or Bridged mode. Amplifiers are
factory-configured for Stereo mode. Shut the amp off before changing
modes.
stereo
In Stereo mode,both channels operate independently,with their input atten-
uators controlling their respective levels.Signal at ChannelA’s input produces
output at Channel A’s output,while signal at Channel B’s input produces out-
put at Channel B’s output.Recommended minimum nominal load impedance
for stereo operation is 2 Ohms per channel.
parallel
When set to Parallel mode, program material applied to Channel A’s input
will appear at both Channel A and B outputs.The attenuator for Channel A
controls the level for both A and B outputs.
bridged
Bridged mode straps both amplifier channels together to make a single-
channel monaural amplifier. One channel pushes and the other pulls equally,
increasing the power output over that of either channel alone
(see Specifications). Signal is applied to the Channel A input only. Channel
A’s attenuator is used to control signal level.
Use extreme caution when operating the amplifier in Bridged mode. Never
ground either side of the speaker cable when the amplifier is in Bridged
mode; both sides are “hot.”
If an output patch panel is used, all connections must be isolated from each
other and from the panel.The recommended minimum nominal load imped-
ance in the Bridged mode is 4 ohms, which is the equivalent to driving both
channels separately at 2 ohms.

LT / ST owner’s manual

Your LT / ST Series amplifier is very powerful and can be potentially dangerous to loud-
speakers and operators alike. It is your responsibility to read important precautions
(see the inside-front cover) and make sure that the amplifier is installed, wired, and
operated properly as instructed in this manual.
Many loudspeakers can be easily damaged or destroyed by overpowering, especially
with the high power available from a bridged amplifier.Always be aware of the speak-
er’s continuous and peak power capabilities. Crest Audio is not responsible for damage
to loudspeakers for any reason.
see—speaker protection
speaker protection
All loudspeakers have electrical, thermal and physical limits which must be observed to pre-
vent damage or failure.Cone or compression drivers can be damaged (sometimes to the point
of failure) from excessive power, low frequencies applied to high frequency drivers, severely
clipped wave forms,and DC voltage. All LT / ST Series amplifiers automatically protect speak-
ers from DC voltages and subsonic signals.
see—TourClass protection
Mid- and high-frequency transducers—compression drivers in particular—are highly suscep-
tible to damage from overpowering,clipped wave forms,or frequencies below their rated pass
band.When using an electronic crossover,make absolutely certain that the low and mid bands
are connected to the correct amplifiers and drivers—and not accidentally connected to those
for a higher or lower frequency band.
The amplifier’s clipping point is its maximum peak output power. At maximum peak output
power,CrestAudio LT / ST Series amplifiers will deliver more power than many speakers can
safely handle. Be sure the peak power capability of the amplifier is not excessive for your
speaker system.To ensure that the speakers never receive excessive power, and to prevent
amplifier clipping,use a properly adjusted external limiter (or a compressor with a ratio of 10:1
or higher) to control power output. Use one compressor/limiter for each frequency band in
systems with active electronic crossovers.
The ACL clip limiting circuit will automatically limit the duration of squared-off, continuous
wave forms applied to the speakers.The amplifier will,however,allow normal musical transient
bursts to pass. Of course, when the amplifier does clip, it is operating at its maximum output
power.Note that some speaker systems are packaged with proprietary“processors” that have
power limiting circuits and therefore should not require additional limiting. Do not drive any
low-frequency speaker enclosure with frequencies lower than its own tuned frequency; the
reduced acoustical damping could cause a ported speaker to bottom out even at moderate
power.Consult the speaker system specifications to determine its frequency limits,and employ
a roll-off filter if necessary.
recommended speaker cabling
The wire gauge charts will assist you in determining the optimum copper wire gauge for your
speaker cables.Remember that the speaker cable resistance robs amplifier power in two ways:
through power lost directly to resistance (often referred to as I2R loss),and through increased
total load resistance, which decreases the amount of power available from the amplifier.
Appendix C gives cable length figures in feet/AWG wire gauges and in metric values.

TourClass protection
Just like Crest Audio’s highly acclaimed Pro series amps, LT and ST amps incorporate
TourClass protection features. Derived from Crest Audio’s extensive experience with the
world’s largest sound rental companies, the TourClass group of circuits sets the industry
standard for assured protection of internal amplifier circuits and all connected loads.
ACL ACTIVE CLIP LIMITING
At the amplifier’s full power limit, or clipping point, ACL will be activated.This is indicated
by illumination of the ACL / IGM LED.The channel gain is automatically reduced, protecting
the loudspeakers from potential damage from the high power,continuous square waves that
would otherwise be produced. ACL may be activated by uncontrolled feedback, oscillations,
improper equipment gain settings, or an equipment malfunction upstream from the amplifi-
er. Only steady or excessive clipping (not normal program transients) will trigger ACL. The
circuit is virtually transparent in operation and full signal bandwidth is maintained.
IGM INSTANTANEOUS GAIN MODULATION
IGM is an innovative circuit that allows the amplifier to operate safely into loads as low as 2
ohms.When the amplifier sees a load that overstresses the output stage,the IGM circuit adjusts
the channel gain to a safe level. This gain control circuit is inaudible in normal use. In addition,
if extreme and sustained low impedance is encountered,the amplifier’s output relay will open.
AutoRamp
Auto Ramp operates every time the amplifier is turned on or is reactivated after a protect
condition is corrected.This exclusive CrestAudio feature gradually increases gain to the atten-
uator setting avoiding unnecessary stress on the loudspeakers.
Thermal Protect
Abnormally high heat sink temperatures will engage the Protect circuit and disconnects the
output relays. During this time the Prot LEDs will light red.The cooling fan will continue run-
ning at high speed. Normal operation resumes once the amplifier cools to a safe level.
Short Circuit
If an output is shorted (i.e. defective speakers or crossed speaker wires) the channel will shut-
down and can be re-set by turning the amplifier off, then on.
DC Voltage
If an amplifier channel detects DC voltage at its output terminals, the output relay will immediately
open to prevent loudspeaker damage. The protect LEDs illuminate.
Subsonic Frequencies
Built-in high pass filtering provides subsonic frequency protection for each channel.In addition,
at the output.
a relay will open if excessive subsonic energy appears
