Product Description
The Crest Audio HD6 professional power amplifier is designed
to achieve unsurpassed sonic performance and long-term reliabil-
ity–even when operating under extreme stress–in touring or fixed
installation applications.
Absolute sonic accuracy is the hallmark of every Crest amplifier.
Bass is solid and defined to the limits of audibility, with ample
current reserves delivered by an “over-engineered” power supply
and advanced Class H circuitry. Wide-bandwidth output devices
assure detailed, transparent high frequency response. And, thanks
to Crest’s exclusive IGM circuit, the HD6 will drive 2Ω loads
safely without compromise in performance.
Construction and Quality Control
The HD6 is built exclusively in Crest’s own USA manufacturing
facility, with internal components selected for premium quality
and proven durability. Each modular subassembly is pre-tested,
and the assembled HD6 receives a rigorous “hot room” burn-in
before thorough final checkout on precision test equipment.

®
protection circuits:
- ACL (Active Clip Limiting) prevents speaker damage with
gentle gain reduction at clip threshold.
- IGM (Instantaneous Gain Modulation) monitors connected
loads to detect conditions that may overstress output
devices, allowing safe operation into nominal 2Ω imped-
ances.
- AutoRamp gradually increases gain to attenuator setting
level when amplifier is turned on.
- TourClass also includes comprehensive thermal manage-
ment, and short circuit, DC voltage, turn-on/off transient,
current inrush and sub/ultrasonic input protection.
• Input sensitivity selection
• Recessed, stepped attenuators
• Front panel magnetic circuit breaker switch
• Modular construction
• Three-year warranty (parts and labor)
