Product Research
Features
Amplifier Presets: The Crown XTi2 Series amplifier comes pre-loaded with presets that makes it easy to configure the amplifier for your type of applications.
- Stereo DSP Off (Preset 1): This is the default mode the amplifier is set to from the factory. The amplifier is configured for stereo mode with all processing disabled.
- Bridge (Preset 2): Putting the amplifier in Bridge (bridge-mono) mode delivers the power of both amp channels into a single 8 or 4 ohm load.
- Xover (Preset 3): Putting the amplifier in Xover mode enables a 1.2kHz 4th order (24dB/octave) filter that sends frequencies of 1.2kHz and below to Channel 1 output and frequencies of 1.2kHz and above to Channel 2 output.
- BRG SUBS (Preset 4): Putting the amplifier in BRG SUBS (bridged subs) mode allows you to bridge the amplifier for use with a single 8 or 4 ohm subwoofer. The inputs are automatically summed, a 90Hz 4th order (24dB/octave) LowPass filter is enabled, and the output mode is put into bridge-mono mode.
- SUBSYNTH (Preset 5): Putting the amplifier in SUBSYNTH mode allows you to turn on the SubHarmonic Synth feature for use with a subwoofer on both channels. The inputs are automatically summed, a 90Hz 4th order (24dB/octave) filter is enabled on both Channel 1 and Channel 2, and the SubHarmonic Synth feature is turned on at +12dB level.
Power Rating: Maximum average power in watts at 0.5% THD, 1 kHz.
Impedance Load | Dual Mode (stereo) | Bridged Mode (mono) |
---|---|---|
Wattage | Wattage | |
2 ohm | 700 watts | N/A |
4 ohm | 500 watts | 1,400 watts |
8 ohm | 275 watts | 1,000 watts |
Peakx Limiters: Peakx Limiters provide the ultimate in performance and protection for your entire system. This advanced algorithm was specifically developed and tuned to work with this amplifier and power-supply to achieve higher SPL will less audible artifacts. This means less distortion, less shutdowns, and maximum safe power delivered to your speakers. The Peakx Limiters can be easily turned on or off by channel right from the front panel eliminating the need to be digging around in the back of the dark rack.
XLR Inputs/Outputs: The XTi2 Series amplifier provides two 3-pin XLR input connectors (one per channel). Two 3-pin XLR output connectors are provided (one per channel) to loop-thru signal from one amp to another.
Outputs: The XTi2 Series amp feature two 4-Pole Speakon output connectors that will accept 2-pole or 4-pole Speakon connectors. The Channel 1 Speakon connector is wired for both channels so it can be used for bridged-mono wiring or for stereo wiring of two speakers to a single Speakon connector. There is also one pair of binding posts per channel that will accept banana plugs or bare wire.
HiQnet USB Connector: The power amp's USB (type-B) port allows you to connect the amplifier to a computer for use with System Architect and Band Manager software (not included). The System Architect Software is required to have full control over all integrated processing features which can be downloaded from the following URL - http://hiqnet.harmanpro.com/. When controlling more than one XTi2 at a time you will need USB Hub. We recommend using a powered USB Hub.
Adjustable Fan Speeds: The XTi2 Series amplifiers employ flow-through, front-to-back ventilation and internal fans with forced-air cooling for rapid, uniform heat dissipation. You can tailor the fan speed to specific applications. The default mode is NORMAL and should work fine for most applications. EARLY mode turns the fan on sooner at a "lower" temperature, and FULL-SPEED mode turns the fan on full-speed full-time. Full-speed mode is not recommended for "dirty" environments.
LED Indicators: The power amplifier features ten LEDs (five for each output channel) to indicate status of amplifier.
- Ready Indicator: Two green LEDs, one for each channel, illuminate when the amplifier is ready to produce audio.
- Single Presence: Two green LED's, one for each channel, illuminate when the channel input signal exceeds -40dBu.
- -10: Green LED flashes when output signal level exceeds -10dB below clip.
- -20: Green LED flashes when output signal level exceeds -20dB below clip.
- Clip: Two red LED's, one for each channel, illuminate when the channel's output is being overdriven.
- Thermal: Two red LED's, one for each channel, illuminate when thermal compression begins.
