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. Bands who are still playing in smaller clubs, however, may be better served by the slightly lower power XTi 1000, while outdoor or permanent installations might demand the higher power output of the XTi 4000 or XTi 6000.
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. Additionally, Crown XTi 2000 Power Amplifiers are backed by Crown's three year, no fault warranty. During this time, the amplifier will be repaired or replaced in the event of any type of damage, including that which was caused by user error.

The XTi 1000 is the entry level model in the XTi series of power amplifiers, capable of producing a maximum of 1400 watts in bridged monaural operation, or 700 watts when driving 2 ohm speakers in stereo mode. This level of power is more than sufficient for most clubs and small to medium sized concert halls. Additionally, the XTi 1000 includes a variety of digital modeling features enabling you to dial in the perfect tone for your chosen application. It features several presets that are useful for subwoofers, instrumentalists, DJs, or for pure speech, and every setting can be manually adjusted by the user for total customization.
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 Crown XLS 802 Power Amplifier is rated for a maximum power output of 1600 watts in bridged mode (mono), 600 watts when driving a pair of 4 ohm stereo speakers, and 380 watts in 8 ohm stereo operation. At this level of power, the XLS 802 is sufficient to drive a subwoofer in bridged mode, or power bands or DJs that play in medium to large clubs and concert halls. Bands that are playing in very small clubs, however, may be a bit overpowered by the XLS 802. For these artists, it might be wise to look at something a little less powerful such as the Crown XLS 402 or 602.
The XLS 602 Power Amplifier is rated for a maximum output of 1200 watts (mono, bridged). In stereo mode, with 4 ohm speakers, it can produce a maximum of 450 watts, and with 8 ohm speakers, the maximum is 300 watts. This level of power gives the XLS 602 the muscle necessary to power instrumentalists, vocalists, and DJs who perform at medium sized concert venues. Although this might be more wattage than is necessary for smaller venues, it is important to keep in mind that power amplifiers are more efficient when driving easier loads. Buying an amplifier with more power than you currently need means that you can play at lower relative volumes, which will result in a cooler-running amplifier. An amplifier that runs at cooler temperatures lasts longer.
