Crown Audio Debuts "Powered by Crown" Apple iPad Control Application at Prolight + Sound 2011

Harman Crown Audio has announced the addition of the "Powered By Crown" Apple iPad/iPhone App, designed to provide users with enhanced control and configuration of its amplifiers at Prolight + Sound in Frankfurt. The new application can be deployed to control and monitor amplifiers by setting the basic control panels on an amplifier or handle a complete setup through Harman HiQnet System Architect.

The new application benefits can be used to control numerous lines of Crown amplifiers including I-Tech, I-Tech HD, CTs, and Macro Tech I Series amplifiers. Users can instantly connect by plugging their amplifiers into a wireless router. The app can be deployed on two-, four-, and eight-channel amplifiers. Users can now 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 setup, 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," said Marc Kellom, director, marketing for Crown.

This application will also be compatible with the iPod Touch and is now available on Apple's iTunes store.
