Crown XLi 800 Description

The Crown XLi 800 is a Class-AB stereo power amplifier engineered to provide consistent output and long-term reliability. Delivering 300W per channel at 4 ohms, 200W per channel at 8 ohms, and up to 600W at 8 ohms in bridged-mono mode, it is well-suited for powering passive PA speakers, stage monitors, and installed sound systems.

The amplifier supports stereo, parallel, and bridge-mono operation, offering flexibility for various system configurations. User-selectable input sensitivity (0.775V or 1.4V) allows proper gain matching with mixers and signal sources. Connectivity includes electronically balanced XLR inputs, unbalanced RCA inputs, and both speakON NL4 and binding post speaker outputs.

Designed for dependable performance, the XLi 800 incorporates forced-air cooling with variable-speed fan control to prevent thermal buildup during demanding sessions. Protection circuitry guards against short circuits, reactive or mismatched loads, thermal overload, RF interference, and on/off thumps, ensuring safe operation in live and installed environments.

Front-panel LED indicators provide clear monitoring of power status, signal presence, clipping, and fault conditions for each channel. Housed in a durable 2U rackmount chassis, the amplifier integrates easily into standard equipment racks for mobile rigs or permanent installations.
