The amplifier design while unique, is conservative with regard to the power handling capabilities of it's output devices. The ruggedly designed CR5 will continue to operate while used with especially demanding speaker cabinets - unlike some competitors' amplifiers which will shut down prematurely. The physical package is made up of a heavy gauge yet light weight aluminum chassis. Other features include an AC cord-wrap system and optional rack mount handles.
The heat sinks are mounted on the side of the amplifier where the unit can dissipate heat up the side of the rack, away from other heatsinks in the rack. To further assure trouble-free operation all CR-Series amps undergo a thorough computer monitored, temperature cycled, burn-in period to test for any deviation from design parameters.
