Crown XTi 1002 DriveCore Amplifier

The XTi 1002 pairs 500 W per channel at 4 ohms (700 W at 2 ohms) with onboard DSP: Peakx Plus limiters with adjustable threshold, attack, and release, plus a subharmonic synthesizer for extending low end on undersized cabinets. Fifty onboard presets, 49 of them user-definable, cover most speaker-protection and tuning needs without a laptop.

Three user-selectable fan modes trade noise for cooling depending on the room, and onboard monitoring watches AC line voltage and power-supply temperature so a fault shows up on the front panel instead of as a dead channel mid-show. HiQnet System Architect compatibility brings it into a networked system alongside other Crown and Harman gear when a room needs central control.
