Crown XTI 1000 Power Amp 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.

Crown has long led the amplification industry in fault protection measures, and the XTi 1000 is no exception. It features protective circuitry enabling the amplifier to automatically shut down before damage can be done in the event of overheating, shorted or open circuits, mismatched loads, electrical overload, or general user error. It is cooled by forced air induction, and at a weight of just 18.5 pounds, is extremely easy to mount in a rack, then remove for storage and transportation to your next performance location. The front display of the XTi 1000 is liquid crystal with backlighting, enabling the amplifier to easily communicate fault conditions to the user so that they can be quickly rectified. The unit also has LED which light up in the event of volume levels that are high enough to cause clipping and speaker damage.

For bands that intend to play at outdoor concert venues, the XTi 1000 may not provide quite enough power. For this type of performance situation, it would be advisable to look into a higher powered amplifier such as the XTi 6000, which produces a maximum of 6000 watts in bridged mono operation.
