Description

Crown Audio XLi 3500 Two-Channel 1350W Power Amplifier

The Crown Audio XLi 3500 is a road-tested amplifier built on six decades of Crown's amplifier engineering expertise. This unit delivers 1350W per channel at 4 ohms with the reliability and thermal management needed for sustained performance in live gigging, touring rigs, and installed systems. The compact 3.5-inch rack-mount form factor packs serious power into a footprint that travels light without compromising on headroom.

Power & Connectivity

Output reaches 1350W at 4 ohms, 1000W at 8 ohms, or 2700W in bridged-mono mode, giving you flexible deployment options for different speaker configurations and stage setups. Both RCA and XLR inputs accommodate various source devices, while Speakon and binding post outputs ensure compatibility with professional and consumer speaker systems alike.

Audio Performance & Design

The amplifier maintains frequency response of 20Hz–20kHz (+0/−1dB) with THD below 0.5% and signal-to-noise ratio exceeding 100dB (A-weighted), translating to clean, articulate amplification that preserves tone across the full spectrum. Forced-air cooling prevents thermal buildup during extended gigs and marathon sessions, while integrated protection circuitry guards against shorts, no-load conditions, RF interference, and power-on transients—keeping your rig stable night after night.

Key Features

  • 1350W per channel at 4 ohms; 1000W per channel at 8 ohms; 2700W bridged-mono at 8 ohms
  • Stereo, parallel, and bridge-mono operating modes
  • RCA and XLR inputs with user-selectable sensitivity (0.755V or 1.4V)
  • Speakon and binding post outputs
  • Frequency response: 20Hz–20kHz, +0/−1dB at 1 watt
  • Total harmonic distortion: <0.5% (20Hz–20kHz)
  • Signal-to-noise ratio: >100dB (A-weighted)
  • Damping factor: >200 (8 ohms, 10Hz–400Hz)
  • Input impedance: 20kΩ balanced, 10kΩ unbalanced
  • Forced-air cooling with protection against shorts, no-load, on/off thumps, and RF interference
  • Power/fault/signal presence/clip indicators
  • AC configurations: 120V~60Hz, 220V~50/60Hz, or 230–240V~50/60Hz

The XLi 3500 combines affordable, quality amplification with the ruggedness Crown is known for, making it a smart choice for gigging musicians, touring acts, houses of worship, and professional sound contractors alike.

Frequently Asked Questions

What power output do I get at different impedances?

The XLi 3500 delivers 1350W per channel at 4 ohms, 1000W per channel at 8 ohms, or 2700W in bridged-mono mode at 8 ohms, giving you flexible options to match your speaker configuration.

What inputs and outputs does it have?

Both RCA and XLR inputs are included with user-selectable sensitivity (0.755V or 1.4V). Outputs include Speakon connectors and binding posts for compatibility with professional and consumer speaker systems.

How does it handle extended touring and live use?

Forced-air cooling prevents thermal buildup during sustained operation, and integrated protection circuitry guards against shorts, no-load conditions, RF interference, and power-on transients—all critical for road reliability.

What are the audio specifications?

Frequency response is 20Hz–20kHz (±1dB) with total harmonic distortion below 0.5% and signal-to-noise ratio exceeding 100dB (A-weighted), delivering clean, detailed amplification across the audible spectrum.

Does it fit standard racks, and what space does it need?

The XLi 3500 is a compact 3.5-inch rack-mount unit, allowing you to deploy serious power without requiring dedicated infrastructure or multiple units.

Do I pay sales tax on this order?

We collect sales tax only on orders shipped to California. Orders shipped to any other US state are charged $0 sales tax at checkout when you buy direct from our website.
