Crown XLi 1500 450W 2-channel Power Amplifier

• All the versatility you can ask for in a budget-friendly amplifier
• Packed with the quality I/O your venue or mobile rig demands
• Smart and rugged design protects against everyday hazards

You know the old adage about how if you ask two live sound engineers how to setup a system you'll get three answers? Well, this Crown XLi 1500 power amplifier can handle them all. Wether you need an amp that can do stereo, parallel, or bridged-mono mode, XLi series amps will do the trick. Even if you're constantly reconfiguring your system, you'll get all the versatility you need from your XLi 1500.

No two rigs are the same, which is why Crown outfitted their XLi amplifiers (including the XLi 1500) with all of the popular connections serious live sound engineers demand. On the input side, the XLi 1500 offers both balanced XLR and unbalanced RCA jacks, accommodating professional mixers and DJ systems alike. Conversely, both low-tech binding posts and modern speakON connectors let you attach any variety of passive PA speakers.

One thing no engineer can afford is losing an amp right before (or in the middle of) a show. With a Crown XLi 1500 in your rig, you can worry about setting a good mix, not keeping your amp from exploding. Crown built their XLi series power amplifiers with safety in mind, protecting against shorts, empty loads, on/off thumps, and more. And while they were at it, they even gave the XLi 1500 a mighty effective shield against the kind of RF that can ruin any show, so you don't have to cringe the next time the talent shows up with their special (read, outdated) wireless system.
