Frequently asked questions
What is the actual power difference between these two amps?
At 4 ohms, the XTi 6002 delivers 2100W per channel while the CDi2x1200 provides 1200W per channel—a 75% increase. The XTi 6002 also bridges to 6000W at 4Ω, whereas the CDi2x1200 specs do not mention bridging capability.
Which amp is better for touring rental inventory?
The XTi 6002 is more versatile for rental because it offers bridging mode, six parametric filters per channel, and comprehensive limiting and subharmonic synthesis—features that let technicians configure the amp for diverse venue types and speaker systems without external processors.
Does the CDi2x1200's built-in 70/100V transformer matter for my fixed installation?
Yes, if your venue uses line-array or distributed 70/100V speakers, the CDi2x1200 eliminates the need for separate step-up transformers, reducing rack clutter and cost. The XTi 6002 does not mention this feature, so you would need external transformers for 70V systems.
Which amp has better noise and distortion performance?
Both are professional-grade with excellent specifications: the CDi2x1200 is rated at 0.35% THD and 104dB SNR, while the XTi 6002 specs emphasize its proven reliability on the XTi 2 platform but do not list comparable THD/SNR figures in the provided description.
