About Crest Audio PROLITE 3.0 DSP

An embodiment of power and precision, the PROLITE 3.0 DSP 3150W Professional Power Amplifier is a high-quality, durable audio solution designed for professional use. This advanced amplifier is engineered with a high-speed class D design and a switch-mode power supply, a combination that enhances reliability, boosts thermal efficiency, and optimizes output power in parallel, stereo, and bridged modes.

The PROLITE 3.0 DSP is a powerful audio tool, boasting two independent channels with fourth-order 100 Hz crossovers and impressive power ratings of 870 watts per channel at 4 ohms stereo, reaching up to 3,150 watts when bridged at 4 ohms. This robust power supply ensures consistent, stable performance, even with low frequencies, making it ideal for large venues and high-powered speakers.

This professional power amplifier stands out with its built-in digital signal processor (DSP), a feature that offers a suite of delays (0-120ms per channel), adjustable crossovers, adjustable limiters, parametric EQ, and HF driver EQ. It also provides four user preset storage locations and stereo/mono operation with lockable security settings.

The front-panel LCD screen simplifies user interaction, allowing for quick identification and assignment of presets. Additionally, the USB port not only enables external setup and adjustment but also allows users to load presets.

The PROLITE DSP section integrates the innovative Waves MaxxBass Bass Extension technology. This advanced feature uses psycho-acoustics to generate precise harmonics, creating the perception of boosted low frequencies in the mix. The level of MaxxBass effect can be adjusted from 0% to 100%, offering a customizable audio experience.

Constructed with heavy-duty circuit boards and mission-critical components like extra-large capacitors and inductors, the PROLITE 3.0 DSP is built to optimize 2-ohm operation. It also includes Crest Audio's proprietary ACL Automatic Clip Limiting circuitry, which safeguards your loudspeakers by preventing the amplifier from sending potentially damaging clipped signals.

The amplifier also features DC, Temp, Signal, and Active safeguards, all conveniently referenced on the front panel with LED indicators. The PROLITE Series is a testament to Crest Audio's commitment to delivering strong, solid, and reliable audio solutions for professionals.
