CROWN XLi 800 - Two-channel power amplifier, 300W @ 4Ω

CROWN XLi 800 – Two-channel power amplifier, 300 W @ 4 Ω

The CROWN XLi 800 is a professional Class AB amplifier designed to deliver 300W continuous per channel into 4 Ω with maximum reliability and flexibility. Stereo, parallel, and bridged-mono modes allow it to adapt to any speaker configuration. It features electronically balanced RCA and XLR inputs, Speakon® and screw terminal outputs, and advanced protection against short circuits, RF interference, and power-on/off surges. Its forced-cooling design with a speed-regulated fan ensures heat-resistant operation, while selectable input sensitivity (0.775V or 1.4V) and Peakx™ Plus limiters optimize both signal and speaker protection.
