The I-T12000HD from Crown Audio is a high-performance power amplifier designed for professional applications. The amplifier has a sleek rackmount enclosure packed with innovative technologies that provide world-class performance and ease-of-use. Patented Class-I circuitry provides efficient use of power to keep current draw low while still providing powerful audio output.

Onboard OmniDrive HD DSP processing is built-in and uses 24-bit/192kHz Cirrus Logic A/D and D/A converters, along with FIR and IIR filters for a high level of audio performance. A front-panel USB port allows you to easily transfer DSP settings from a computer to the amplifier. For connection to virtually any sound system, the amp sports analog and digital XLR inputs and outputs, as well as Speakon and Binding Post outputs. An Ethernet port supports TCP/IQ, HiQnet, and CobraNet, and is compatible with standard 100Mb Ethernet hardware.

The amplifier is kept cool by variable-speed fans with a front-to-back airflow to keep system components running reliably. Other useful features of the amplifier include Sweep Load Monitoring with system-level diagnostics, a bright LCD screen for easy navigation, and a true global power supply, allowing you to operate at full power no matter where you go.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. WHAT IS THE VOLTAGE OF THE CROWN XLI 2500 POWER AMPLIFIERS? THOMAS BROWN

A: The Crown Audio XLi 2500 Stereo Power Amplifier and the other Crown amps that we sell operate at 120 VAC, 60 Hz.

Q: 2. can I use a 2002 and 2502 both bridged without significant problems?

A: The amps can each operate safely in bridged mode as long as you are connecting them to speakers that are compatible with the power and impedance ratings.

Q: 3. Is that 775watts at hz or khz?

A: Neither. The power rating for an amplifier is not related to the frequency response. The 775 Watt power rating for the Crown XLS 2502 Stereo Power Amplifier is for each channel when the amp is operating at 4 Ohms. This means the amp will deliver 775 Watts to each channel to drive a 4 Ohm speaker. The maximum power the amp can output will vary depending on the impedance of the speakers that are connected. With an 8 Ohm speaker the amp delivers 440 Watts per channel and with a 2 Ohm speaker the amp delivers 1200 Watts per channel. When speakers with lower impedance ratings are use the amp will deliver higher amounts of power.

Q: 4. Can I stack one on top of the other without heating problems?

A: It is recommended to leave at least 1u of space between amps to reduce potential overheating issues

Q: 5. If there is a power outage do you have to press that switch to power the amp back on or does it stay depressed?

A: I am sorry but there are no details posted in the product information or specifications regarding whether the power switch would need to be pressed again after a power outage. The Crown Audio XLi 1500 Stereo Power Amplifier does have a circuit breaker with a reset switch on the back panel to protect the amp from a surge. The circuit breaker may activate if there is a power outage and then you would press the reset button and most likely would have to press the power switch again to turn the amp on.

Q: 6. Can this handle a 2 Ohm load?

A: No it is not designed to handle anything below 4 Ohms.

Q: 7. Is the XLi 2500 a push/pull amplifier?

A: Yes. The Crown Audio XLi 2500 Stereo Power Amplifier uses Class AB circuitry, which has a push-pull output stage.

Q: 8. How does this compare to the xli800?

A: This XLS 1002 provides built in DSP, specifically a band pass filter per channel, an integrated crossover system, and limiters. As well, this amp also provides through connections for linking multiple amps together.

Q: 9. Does it have a fan? How noisy is it?

A: Yes, there are internal cooling fans included with the XLi 1500 that help to prevent the amp from overheating. The fans are fairly quiet, not noisy.

Q: 10. How much rack space does this amp take up?

A: Actually it is a 2RU form factor. About 4 inches is correct. Each RU is about 1 7/8 inches.
