Crown XTi 1002 - 500W 2-Channel at 4-Ohm Power Amplifier

The Crown XTi 1002 is a high-performance, 500W 2-channel power amplifier at 4 ohms, engineered for musicians, DJs, venues, and audio professionals seeking an amplifier that delivers power, versatility, and control in one sleek package. As part of Crown's innovative XTi 2 Series, this amp combines cutting-edge technology with a durable design, ensuring it can handle demanding performances night after night while maintaining exceptional sound quality. Whether for a small gig, worship service, or larger event, the XTi 1002 provides reliability and consistent power output that exceeds expectations.

Featuring 500 watts per channel at 4 ohms and 700 watts per channel at 2 ohms, the Crown XTi 1002 packs a serious punch. For even more power, the amp can be bridged to deliver an impressive 1400 watts at 4 ohms. With a sensitivity of 1.4V, it is optimized for use with a wide range of input sources, from professional mixers to audio interfaces, providing flexibility and compatibility across different setups. The XTi 1002's robust performance and ability to maintain crystal-clear audio even under high loads make it a preferred choice for audio engineers and performers alike.

One of the standout features of the XTi 1002 is its Peakx Plus limiters, which allow users full control over threshold, attack, and release. This ensures maximum system performance by protecting the speakers from overload while maintaining the integrity of the audio signal. The inclusion of an enhanced subharmonic synthesizer further sets the XTi 1002 apart, giving users precise control over frequency, gain, and filter type to fine-tune low-end response, making it ideal for bass-heavy applications such as live performances, club setups, or larger PA systems.

The XTi 1002 is designed with three user-selectable fan modes-normal, early, and full-speed-to adapt fan performance based on specific application needs. This level of customization ensures the amplifier remains cool, even during prolonged use, without generating excessive fan noise in quieter settings. This is particularly useful for environments where sound quality is critical, such as recording studios, theaters, and houses of worship.

With Crown's updated HiQnet System Architect control software, the XTi 1002 offers sophisticated system monitoring and control capabilities. Users can easily monitor AC line voltage and power supply temperature, providing peace of mind during demanding performances and preventing unexpected system failures. The XTi 1002 also includes 50 presets, with 49 of them being user-definable, offering plenty of flexibility for different configurations and venues.

Built for the rigors of the road, the XTi 1002 features integrated cast-aluminum handles, making it easy to transport and handle, while enhancing the amplifier's durability. A locking power cord clip ensures that the power connection remains secure during transport and operation, minimizing the risk of accidental disconnection. Additionally, the amplifier's lightweight construction (weighing just 18.5 lbs) and compact design (measuring 19 x 12.25 x 3.5 inches) make it an ideal choice for portable systems or rack-mounted installations where space is a concern.

When it comes to audio performance, the XTi 1002 delivers with a signal-to-noise ratio of 100 dB, ensuring a clean, undistorted signal with minimal noise. The amplifier's damping factor of over 500 ensures tight control over speaker cone movement, resulting in more accurate sound reproduction, especially in the low frequencies. The frequency response of +0 dB, -1 dB guarantees a full-range audio experience, while the low total harmonic distortion (THD) of less than 0.5% ensures the XTi 1002 delivers pristine audio, even at high output levels.

In addition to its powerful performance, the XTi 1002 offers versatile connectivity options, with XLR, 1/4" TRS, and RCA inputs allowing easy integration with a variety of audio sources. The amplifier is equally well-suited for both professional and consumer audio applications, making it an excellent choice for users seeking both flexibility and reliability in their audio setup. With extensive protection features, including safeguards against shorts, overloads, and radio-frequency interference (RFI), the Crown XTi 1002 ensures that your system is well-protected and continues to perform at its best in any environment.
