The new application targets touring professionals and integrators as it can be used to control numerous lines of Crown amplifiers – including I-Tech, I-Tech HD, CTs,and Macro Tech I Series. Users can create a custom control panel in HiQnet System Architect, save it and directly import it onto the app using iTunes. Sound engineers now also have full capability to set up, troubleshoot and monitor systems remotely.

‘Building amplifiers that can operate on an Ethernet network provides us with unlimited expansion opportunities and the addition of an iPad application couples our industry-leading amplifier technology with control and monitoring capabilities that make system control infinitely simpler,’ says Marc Kellom, Director, Marketing for Crown.

Inputs, routing, load monitoring, metering, thermal conditions and levels are all controllable through the app. Crown’s unique commitment to Ethernet technology for cost efficiency and seamless integration makes this application simple to deploy and make it possible for both legacy and future Crown products to offer the same compatibility with the iPad/iPhone application.

A long-term commitment to Ethernet by Crown promises access to everything that is based on this technology. Its speed, price point, reliability and wide use make it the best choice for enhancing the capabilities of amplifiers on a network.

The App will also be compatible with the iPod Touch, and is now available through Apple’s iTunes store.
