Frequently asked questions
Which amp is better for touring?
Both are touring-rated, but the XTi 6002 offers more power (2100W vs 1200W at 4Ω), bridging capability for subwoofers, and networked control for complex rigs. The CDi 4000 works well for smaller tours or as a lighter complement in a larger system.
What is the main power difference?
The CDi 4000 delivers 1200W per channel at 4Ω. The XTi 6002 delivers 2100W at 4Ω, 3000W at 2Ω, and can bridge to 6000W at 4Ω, providing substantially more headroom and flexibility for larger systems.
How do the DSP and control options compare?
The CDi 4000 includes basic onboard DSP (crossovers, EQ, delay, limiting) via front-panel LCD with up to 20 presets. The XTi 6002 offers six parametric filters per channel with ±15 dB range, subharmonic synth, 50 presets, and HiQnet networked control software for more sophisticated, remote configuration.
Which is better for small venues or fixed installations?
The CDi 4000 is an excellent fit: it covers most small-to-mid-sized installed sound with cleaner form factors, versatile load options, and a lower price. The XTi 6002 is overkill unless you need its parametric control or bridging for distributed systems.
