The XTi 6000's digital modeling circuitry allows for 15 user selectable presets, with settings for delay, equalization, and volume limiting that can be independently modified by the user. A setting is also included that enhances the subsonic bass frequency response that subwoofers demand. If more of a pure tone is desired, however, these settings can be disabled completely.

Featuring a sturdy rackmount chassis, the XTi 6000 is designed to withstand the rigors of touring and continue to pump out high quality sound in even the harshest environments. Weighing just 24 pounds, however, it is extremely easy to store and transport from one venue to another. The XTi 6000 has excellent thermal characteristics, and is able to remain cool through all day concert events. If it is mounted improperly, or a vent is blocked, you can remain confident that permanent damage will not occur.

Additionally, the XTi is protected by a three year no fault warranty, which guarantees replacement or repair if the amplifier is damaged, even if that damage is the result of user error.

Look in the sound room of nearly every major concert venue, and you are likely to found Crown amplifiers. Many performing bands rely so heavily on Crown technology that their performing contracts explicitly state that Crown amplifiers must be provided by the venue. Crown has built upon its reputation for durability, reliability, and world class sound quality since its founding in 1947, and the XTi series sets a new standard for power amplification by including digital modeling features that have never been available before at such an affordable price point.

The XTi features a backlit LCD display on the front, plus LEDs for each channel confirming proper operation, or alerting the user when fault protection circuitry is enabled due to overheating or electrical faults. The XTi series was the first to use Crown's Icepak technology, enabling them to model the thermal characteristics of their amplifiers on computer workstations, examining the way they would behave before they were built. The result is a power amplifier that is lighter than ever at just 18.5 pounds, yet remains cool enough due to its forced induction fan system to continue proper operation even in the most demanding all day concert performances. Additionally, the XTi 4000 is backed by Crown's no fault three year warranty, ensuring that the amplifier will be repaired or replaced in the event of a malfunction, even if that malfunction is caused by the user.

Crown XTI 2000 Power Amps Review

Crown XTI 2000 Power Amp The Crown XTi 2000 Power Amplifier is capable of a maximum 2000 watts of output, when operating in bridged mono mode and driving a 4 ohm speaker load. When placed into standard stereo mode, 2 ohm speakers can be driven at a maximum of 1000 watts. For some applications, the XTi 2000 provides sufficient power to place a subwoofer on one channel, and a main speaker on the other. It is an ideal choice for almost any small to medium concert venue.

Digital modeling is certainly the way of the future in amplification. Crown has banked on this by providing a wide range of digital customization features in the XTi 2000, including presets for equalization, volume limiting, and delay. It also includes a special filter designed especially for use with subwoofers. In all, the XTi includes 15 selectable presets, which can all be modified by the user. Also, if you wish, digital modeling can be disabled completely.

Even the most durable electronic equipment can be stymied by user error or environmental factors, so the XTi 2000 comes equipped with some of the most resilient fault protection in the industry. In the event of improperly connected equipment that could cause an overload or speaker clipping, such as DJ equipment with onboard pre-amplification, the XTi 2000 will automatically shut down and notify the user of a problem through the front mounted LEDs and backlit liquid crystal display. The amplifier is also able to protect itself from overheating (which only happens in the event of improper installation, thanks to its forced air induction cooling), and electrical fault or overload.

Crown XLS 5000 Power Amps Review

Crown XLS 5000 Power Amp The Crown XLS 5000 is the flagship of the low cost XLS power amplifier line, rated for a maximum output of 5000 watts when operating in bridged mono mode and driving a 4 ohm speaker load. The XLS 5000 is a two channel amplifier, and can also be used in stereo mode. When driving a pair of 8 ohm speakers, it can output a maximum of 1100 watts per channel. This level of power is sufficient to provide the sound for all-day outdoor events without breaking a sweat. Because of its massive weight (over 60 pounds), it is best suited for bands that have plenty of assistance with moving their equipment, or for permanent installations from which they will not be moved. Bands that will be performing in small and medium concert venues may find that the XLS 5000 provides more power than is necessary, and may be better off looking at the lower power offerings in the XLS lineup such as the XLS 802 or XLS 602.

The XLS 5000 features precision detented controls, allowing you to easily recall your settings if the amplifier ever needs to be removed. When installed in the proper rackmount configuration, its forced air induction cooling system will be more than sufficient to keep the amplifier operating within the proper temperature ranges at all times, even through all day events under the hot sun. The XLS 5000 also has numerous protective features, in case the level of heat ever becomes too much for the amplifier to handle (for example, if enough air space is not given for the unit to properly cool itself).

Anyone who has ever been faced with the responsibility of purchasing the equipment for a large outdoor show knows how difficult it can be to come in under budget. In fact, sound engineers frequently joke about the "rule of threes": expect any project to cost at least three times what you originally plan for. This has unfortunately been especially true when Crown amplifiers are a part of the plan, as their price has become as well known as their legendary tone and power. Crown XLS 5000 Power Amplifiers were created with the goal of changing this problem, by providing that same level of quality along with a number of features generally only found in more expensive equipment, at a price point far below what would be expected for this level of power.

Crown XLS 5000 Power Amplifiers are backed by a three year, fully transferrable warranty. When mounted properly and given sufficient space for cooling, you can be confident that it will power your band or concert venue without a problem for many years.

Crown XLS 5000 Power Amplifiers - Summary:
* Rated for a maximum output of 5000 watts when driving a 4 ohm speaker load in bridged mono operation
* Crown power and sound at an unbelievable price point
