Frequently asked questions
Which amp is better for a small venue with multiple speaker zones?
The CT875 excels here—its eight channels let you power separate areas (front fills, delays, side monitors) from one compact unit without needing multiple amps or external distribution.
Which amp should I use for subwoofers or high-SPL mains?
The XTi 6002 is the clear choice, delivering up to 6000W in bridged mode and featuring onboard subharmonic synthesis and parametric filters specifically tuned for bass management and system protection.
Does the CT875 have onboard processing like the XTi 6002?
No. The CT875 is a clean, direct amplifier with no built-in EQ, filters, or limiters. The XTi 6002 includes parametric EQ, crossovers, and comprehensive processing per channel.
Which amp is easier to transport and install?
The CT875 at 10 lbs in 1RU is significantly lighter and more compact. The XTi 6002 at 24 lbs with integrated handles is still portable but designed more for permanent touring rigs than lightweight mobile setups.
