Crown XTi 1002 Two-Channel 500W Power Amplifier
Description
Crown XTi 1002 Two-Channel 500W Power Amplifier
The Crown XTi 1002 is built for touring rigs and live stages that demand serious, consistent power in a compact 3.5U rackmount footprint. Integrated cast-aluminum handles make load-in straightforward, while the muscular output across multiple impedance configurations means you can adapt to any venue's rig requirements. This two-channel amplifier combines professional-grade protection and control with the reliability touring musicians and technicians depend on—night after night, gig after gig.
Power & Audio Performance
Power output scales intelligently across impedance loads: 500W per channel at 4 Ω stereo, 275W at 8 Ω, or 1400W bridged mono at 4 Ω for subwoofer applications. Audio specifications ensure transparent signal path and tight bass response—frequency response of 20 Hz–20 kHz, signal-to-noise ratio of 100 dB, THD below 0.5%, and a damping factor exceeding 500 delivers detailed reproduction and controlled low-end punch across the audio spectrum.
Control & Protection
Peakx Plus limiters with adjustable threshold, attack, and release safeguard your rig under demanding stage conditions while front-panel gain controls and an onboard LCD screen with DSP allow real-time adjustment and storage of up to 50 user-defined presets for quick recall between sets. Three fan-speed modes let you tailor cooling performance to your venue, while system monitoring displays AC line voltage and power-supply temperature so you know your amp is running healthy.
