T he Crown ® 660A is a very flexible, high-value six-channel amplifier for commercial and industrial
audio. It provides 4-ohm and constant-voltage outputs (70V and 100V) on channels 1 through 4,
and 4-ohm outputs on channels 5 and 6. The 660A is a part of Crown’s Commercial Audio Series, which
also includes mixers and mixer-amps. These low-cost units provide all necessary features in a simple
building-block format.
