Known as a leader in the sound reinforcement industry, PA Plus has continued its successful relationship with Crown by purchasing 130 I-Tech HD amplifiers. PA Plus, one of Canada's leading sound reinforcement companies, has over 25 years of experience working with major concert tours, nationally televised award shows, and special events.
“The new I-Tech HD series is not only the most advanced amplifier on the planet, its new DSP capabilities rival anything out there. Advancements in voltage limiting technology, the introduction of FIR filtering, overall system control features and unsurpassed functionality put this amplifier in a class of its own,” stated Mark Radu, systems engineer at PA Plus.
PA Plus continues what has been a rich history with Crown.

Our mandate of providing the best available technology to our clients has been pushed to a higher level with our commitment to the new HD amplifier. Crown has given PA Plus the tools to continue to provide the most advanced solutions on the market,” stated Gabor Szepesi, president and owner of PA Plus.
