Crown DCi specs coming to CAF
Published: ASIA
WORLD: Crown Audio’s DCi amplifier specifications are to be made available in the Common Amplifier Format (CAF). The CAF is a report for presenting specifications and measured performance metrics of audio power amplifiers which has been developed by SynAudCon.
The CAF was designed to provide amplifier performance metrics in a concise and well-defined format and in a manner that enables direct comparisons between various manufacturers and models. Crown DCi specifications will be available from July 2015.
‘We believe adopting the CAF will help alleviate some of the confusion our customers face in making an informed decision about what amplifier is most appropriate for their specific application and environment,’ said Marc Kellom, senior director of engineering and marketing for Crown Audio. ‘Moving to a more universal standard of measurements is an important step for the professional amplifier industry and we are happy to lead by example.’
‘I am pleased to hear that Crown is joining a growing list of audio manufacturers in adopting the common amplifier format – CAF. With the CAF, audio practitioners finally have a meaningful way to deploy and compare audio power amplifiers,’ added Pat Brown, president of SynAudoCon. ‘Crown’s support of the CAF demonstrates their ongoing commitment to providing meaningful specifications to their customers.’
