CPX 1 is the entry point into the CPX series, a range of professional amplifiers that brings Crest Audio's reputation for sound quality and reliability to a broader range of applications from mobile rigs and project studios to fixed installations and DJ setups. The proprietary GCL Gain Comparator Limiting system monitors input and output gain continuously, reducing signal transparently when distortion or excessive current conditions are detected, keeping your loudspeakers safe without interrupting the audio. Built-in 150 Hz Linkwitz-Riley crossover filters tuned for subwoofer use, a 40 Hz low cut filter, and 1/4" daisy chain outputs are all included, each with individual channel switching so you can configure the amp precisely for your application. Stereo and bridged mono operation, industry standard connectors, and a two speed DC fan for thermal management round out a feature set that covers most professional power amplification scenarios.
