The checklist for each performance setup is a demanding one. Building amplifier racks. Configuring systems. Safety approvals. Keeping technicians working efficiently. Crown’s VRack Complete Amplification System makes the job much easier for you and your team. Designed for optimum performance and setup simplicity, the VRack gives you a customised, turnkey amplification package, complete with full safety approvals. With Crown-engineered components already built in and no assembly required, it’s an easy-to-configure, all-in-one amplifier solution that eliminates the time-consuming process of building amp racks. This frees up your technical team to handle other important setup tasks. Featuring innovative software for convenient, streamlined control, its superb worldwide power distribution means a versatile system that goes – and plays – anywhere. And it’s all from one source – Crown, the industry leader in amplification.
The VRack is designed specifically for use with JBL VTX speakers, offering unparalleled convenience and efficiency for touring professionals. With easily removable wheel castors, VRacks can be effortlessly stacked, saving valuable space at venues and during transport.These racks come with built-in rigging features, making setup and teardown a breeze. Integrating various amp configurations into Performance Manager allows for seamless system design, monitoring, and control from designated positions. Equipped with comprehensive networking, inputs, outputs, and power distribution, VRacks ensure a simplified and reliable deployment every time.
For a performance, controlling the sound is essential, and the VRack puts effortless control capabilities at your fingertips. HARMAN’s HiQnet Audio Architect™ and Performance Manager™ software allows system monitoring and adjustment on a rack-by-rack basis, and you can make any changes for all three amps – to monitors, main PA, side fills, etc. – with just one interface. You can also monitor peak and RMS input and output metering, plus overall gain reduction. The built-in network and AES failover protects speakers in case of AC mains loss, with standardized package configurations designed to optimise speaker performance. The VRack’s “go anywhere” ability also means greater cross-renting options, providing an added financial benefit. Additional sound control comes from BSS Audio’s superior OMNIDRIVEHD™ Digital Signal Processing which produces ultra-smooth, sonically pure signal processing that’s four times faster than stand-alone processors. The LevelMAX™ Limiters guarantee a smooth response for superb sound and more usable peak SPL, while the audibly superior FIR Filters provide more than 10dB of additional stop band attenuation with greatly improved clarity.
VDrive is a digital AES3 transport mechanism that combines a standard 10/100MB network connection with AES3 signals. VDrive uses the unused pins of a 10/100MB network to transport AES3 digital audio signals. As indicated in the top right chart, one is able to transmit 4 channels of digital audio using a standard CAT5 cable. The idea behind VDrive is to connect your VRacks in a ring topology, feed AES3 into the first rack and select the switch of which AES3 stream (1/2 or 3/4) to send via the CAT5 connection to the next VRacks in the network ring. On the VRacks after the first rack, select via the VDrive switch which AES stream to pick off and send to that rack (see diagram to the right). Take advantage of a total system-level solution engineered by the industry leader in amplification, and put the VRack to work for you.
The VRack provides incredible performance, and Crown backs up that performance with our guaranteed warranty – the best in the industry. We have an extensive, thorough list of specifications on our VRack spec sheets, and our guaranteed 5 Year No-Fault Warranty covers every single one of them. Not just the amps – everything.
This means if something isn’t quite right, no matter what it is (aside from normal wear and tear), Crown will fix it. And with our global network of support and service centers, you’ll be back in business fast.
