Two-channel power amplifier

The Crown XLi 1500 is a two-channel power amplifier rated at 450 W per channel into 4 ohms and 660 W RMS total. It is built for musicians, DJs and venues that need reliable amplification for live sound reinforcement. The unit weighs approximately 28 lb and finishes in dark gray. Forced-air cooling and comprehensive protection circuits guard against shorts, no-load conditions, on/off thumps and radio-frequency interference.

Suits fixed installs and mobile PA.

This amplifier suits fixed installations such as houses of worship, discos and pubs as well as mobile PA systems for entertainers. RCA and XLR inputs with selectable sensitivity of 0.755 V or 1.4 V plus Speakon and binding post outputs cover professional wiring needs. Stereo, parallel and bridge-mono modes add routing flexibility. Buyers needing battery-powered or ultra-lightweight operation should look elsewhere.

450 W per channel at 4 ohms

The decisive specification is the 450 W per channel rating into 4 ohms, which determines whether the amplifier can drive your speakers to the required volume. Total RMS output reaches 660 W. Match this figure to your speaker power handling and impedance to confirm suitability.
