Crest Audio CKi 1600S — buyer FAQs
What is the Crest Audio CKi 1600S and what is it designed to do?
The Crest Audio CKi 1600S is a 4U rack-mount power amplifier rated at 1600 watts, built to deliver low distortion and a wide dynamic range. It features CobraNet inputs for integration into networked audio installations and is constructed to handle both permanent fixed installations and portable applications, making it suitable for professional sound systems across venues and events of varying sizes.
Who makes the CKi 1600S and where does it fit in their range?
The CKi 1600S is made by Crest Audio, an American professional audio brand with roots in touring and installed sound, now operating under Peavey Electronics as part of Peavey Commercial Audio. The CKi 1600S sits within the CKi series of networkable installation amplifiers, which are positioned as high-performance solutions for professional audio deployment in both live and fixed-install environments.
What does the CobraNet connectivity on the CKi 1600S allow?
The CobraNet inputs on the CKi 1600S allow the amplifier to be integrated into a networked audio system, enabling it to receive audio signals over a standard network infrastructure rather than traditional analogue cabling alone. This makes the unit particularly practical for larger installation projects where multiple amplifiers or audio devices need to be managed and distributed across a shared network.
What should I check when buying a used CKi 1600S?
When buying a second-hand CKi 1600S, confirm whether the unit is priced individually or as part of a multi-unit lot, and check the stated condition carefully. Verify that CobraNet functionality is confirmed as working, since network audio inputs are harder to test casually. All listings on this page carry a 21-day warranty covering major functional faults; full details are in the buying guide at https://www.10kused.com/used-av-equipment-guide/.
What drives the price of a used Crest Audio CKi 1600S?
Used CKi 1600S prices vary depending on physical condition, whether all network and audio functions have been tested and confirmed, and whether the unit is sold individually or as one of several available. Age and general wear also play a role. Check the live listings on this page for current asking prices, as availability and pricing shift regularly on the second-hand market.
