20 Most Recent Crown CE2000 2-Channel Amplifier - Page 3 Questions & Answers

for some reason channel one of one of our amps started clipping. i first noticed it with the drum kit but it slowly moved to the vocals as well. i haven't noticed this issue before today. what do i need to adjust to keep it from clipping?

I have a working CE2000, I might be able to help you identify the value of the parts....please send me pictures of the part location and indicate with an arrow.

it could be you are missing 1 side of the supply which would cause the output to be low but the clip light to come on

I have one upstairs in my repair que. There are some small glass fuses ( 20 mm long) on the power supply board.

Check those

Check the gain control in front panel. The material use inside them is pretty thin and weak, an could break loose when hurting during manipulation.

Hi...

Try it with a load on both outputs. If it fails still , it will need service

Contact crown

Check the mode switches on the amp are set to stereo mode.

I do not believe that these are available outside of authorized service centers. Can you please describe the problem you are trying to resolve? Also, Crown amps are not the simplest in design. Use caution when working on these, there are high voltages present throughout the chassis. You can contact Peavey Corp directly to purchase a service manual if they are available.

Hi Rodman55

If it is surface mount technology(device) resistors you require, they are available most everywhere electronics parts are sold. What values do you need.
You can get them direct world wide from Farnell Electronics But it may be a little work to sort the one you need. Best measure it up and go by dimensions to pin down the specific one you need. Good luck

Hi...

IF all the outputs are connected right and it still does that..Take it to a tech..You have bad output transistors

The fans on these amps only come on when the unit is hot. They do not run all the time.
I hope this helps your issue.
Thanks.

Hi there. Check for shorted speaker wires. (chews) Also, remove cover and blow dust out.
Thanks

Sounds like there is a short somewhere on the left channel inside the amp. not easy to fix without seeing the unit.
