Crown Introduces ComTech D Series Power Sharing Amplifiers with DSP and Dante

HARMAN Professional Solutions, the global leader in audio, video, control and lighting systems, launched the Crown ComTech D Series at InfoComm 2025, a new line of power sharing amplifiers designed to meet the changing demands of diverse, installed audio applications. With Dante inputs and outputs, built-in DSP, Lo-Z/Hi-Z switching, and a simple to use web configuration interface, the ComTech D Series sets the benchmark for intelligent performance in compact, installation-friendly designs.

Available in 2-, 4-, and 8-channel configurations, each model can deliver 125W per channel of legendary Crown amplification when all channels are driven equally. Power sharing enables individual output channels to scale up or down in power, distributing the total output power of the amplifier to meet the needs of the attached speakers for unparalleled flexibility.

Built-in DSP allows outputs to be tuned specifically for every application and provides the ability to create custom speaker tunings. Factory JBL Speaker Tunings for select JBL models, including Control 400 Series ceiling speakers, are included to simplify the optimisation of an all-HARMAN solution.

Designed for venues such as restaurants, retail spaces, and corporate meeting rooms or for segments of larger multizone applications such as casinos, hotels, and resorts, the ComTech D Series combines easy configuration, efficient management, and exceptional adaptability.

“The ComTech D Series was developed by listening to the valuable feedback from our users and partners, inspiring a new, compact lineup of power-sharing amplifiers that push the boundaries of performance and design,” said Gar Lap Tsoi, Senior Product Manager for Installed Audio, HARMAN Professional Solutions.

“Our conversations revealed that users wanted the trusted reliability of Crown in an amp that could adapt to any configuration, as frequently as their needs change. These amps redefine versatility—combining Crown’s iconic heritage with groundbreaking design innovations to deliver an unmatched experience.”

FEATURE HIGHLIGHTS:

• FLEXIBLE POWER SHARING – Power sharing enables individual output channels to scale up or down in power, distributing the total output power of the amplifier to meet the needs of the attached loudspeakers. Outputs on the 2-channel model share 250W and 500W are shared between each set of 4 channels on the 4- and 8-channel models, for unparalleled flexibility. 4/8 ohm and 70/100V outputs are supported in any configuration.
• BUILT-IN DSP – Built-in DSP allows outputs to be tuned specifically for every application and provides the ability to create custom speaker tunings. Factory JBL Speaker Tunings for select JBL models, including Control 400 Series ceiling speakers, are included to simplify the optimization of an all-HARMAN solution.
• DANTE SPOKEN HERE – ComTech D Series amplifiers support redundant Dante configurations and feature multiple Dante inputs and outputs. The Dante output signals can be chosen directly from a pre-processed analogue input, a pre-speaker tuned signal, or a post-speaker tuned signal.
