BRADFORD BENN: Hi. My name is Bradford Benn. I'm from Crown Audio. We're part of the Harman Family, and we're the leading manufacturer of amplifiers. What I want to do is talk a little bit about some of our products mainly the I-Tech amplifier, which is our premier touring amplifier.

So, the I-Tech amplifier has some unique features that makes it quite powerful. One of the first one's is the fact that it has a front panel control. The front panel control gives -- allows you the ability to adjust your levels in half dB steps to be able to adjust your level as well as being able to you’re your level, which is a feature very similar to our sister product, the Macro-Tech i Series.

In addition, as you can see, it has menu options that can do quite a bit, and I'll go through every single menu because well it would be probably boring to watch that for five minutes. It allows you to do things from locking -- from linking the tube controllers together so that it acts as if a stereo amplifier to monitoring the low to seeing the temperature to seeing the line voltage coming in and out off the wall to be able to see how long the amplifier has been running.

In addition, it also has band pass controls and DSP filtering you can adjust via the software. Now, as I mentioned the software, I want to talk a little bit about the back panel. On the back panel, if you noticed, there's an Ethernet network connection. This allows you to remotely control and monitor amplifier via the HiQnet System Architect software, and from this you can do everything that you can do from the front panel, including locking out the front panel which is typically the most important feature. But what's nice is you also now harness all the DSP horsepower that's in the amplifier. That includes 64 filters across the two channels, you have band pass limiting, you have output voltage limiting, average power limiting, load monitoring and temperature limiting as well as the fact that you can do your level controls and automatic crossover across that.

When I say level controls and automatic crossover, what I'm talking about is this amplifier will take in both analog input and AES 3 digital audio transport, and you can take it so that if one fails, it will automatically switch over to the other mode so you can have analog with an AES override or AES with an analog backup, or you can have it just be an analog-only amplifier. As there's a digital buffer converter in there, it will take any frequency of AES signal and be able to reproduce it. So see, it gives you a lot of flexibility, a very powerful, very easy-to-use amplifier.
