Large sound companies used Crown amps for a long time and when the DC-300A came out, I was seeing banks of them below the stage at shows- I think I saw close to 36 amplifiers under one side of the stage at a Genesis show, so that made a whole lot of output power.
Correcto...
No, it's fan is not constantly noisy. I'm using four of those QSC Digital Cinema amps. I'm sitting only 6 feet away from them and only after a few minutes of operation, the fan speed slows down and I don't hear any of the 3 DCA 1222s. The only fan that I can hear when there's no music being played is the one on the DCA 1824, the 4 channel amp that drives my surround speakers. Since it has to keep cool 4 output stages in the same size chassis, it is a little noisy.
Thanks for the info Verdinut. That looks good. I will put that QSC amp on my list of possible amps to purchase down the road. I already have a Crown XLS 1502 that I am not using right now. One thing I liked about the Crown amp is that in my particular usage, the fan never came on at all and the amp still remained really cool.
Comes down to how much your ears can tell the Difference. One's Taste is Another man's caviar.Correcto...
The DC300A did have some sonic shortcomings, compared to some of the esoteric audiophile amplifiers....
However its mainstay was its watts per $ and excellent reliability, which is pertinent in a pro-audio, sound reinforcement application..
Just my $0.02...
When reliability is the #1 concern and weight is #2, those amps were a great choice. Who's going to comment at an arena show that the imaging is a little skewed to one side or the other, anyway?Correcto...

Mike, I ate some caviar last weekend. It was way too salty for me. Must be an acquired taste because I hated it.
If fan noise is a problem, why not relocate the amplifier?
Was it like the scene from Big, where Tom Hanks wiped the caviar off of his tongue with a napkin and then asked for a milkshake?Mike, I ate some caviar last weekend. It was way too salty for me. Must be an acquired taste because I hated it.
Why do you need another amp when you already have an unused amp?
Not quite that drastic. I just voiced my opinion and ate my caviar like a good boy.
Yeah really, it's like I need another amp laying around which I don't, but it seems like I'm always kicking tires so-to-speak, I think I have some residual audiophilia leftover in me from the past. I thought it was over it, but now and then, it comes out and rears its ugly head.Why do you need another amp when you already have an unused amp?
I actually only have one unused amp right now, and it's just a single Ch sub amp, not even a stereo amp.
Who is that lady in your avatar?
I pulled that off Apple Iphone Images, But the young woman in that pic, Closely reminds of a lil barkeep that use to work at a hole-in-the wall dive bar here where I live. Only Difference was she had Tats all over her body. How I know this you may ask? Well she is a lil umm like to share and had a thing for older men with Benefits if you catch my drift.
Her name is Tayler. Rumor around the town was she was one of the Bandido's best money makers.
I'll take it. How much? Seriously.
