A respected leader in power amplifiers and other professional audio products, Crown has earned themselves an extraordinary reputation among musicians and sound engineers. Well-known and trusted for their rugged and compact designs, Crown's dedicated team of sound experts are continuously on the cutting-edge of audio equipment, which is why the Crown name is consistently found on the world's biggest stages and in the most prominent recording studios.
When searching for the right power amplifier, it's important to make sure that your amp can provide an acceptable measure of ohms to your speakers at the impedance that is given on the amp's output. To avoid volume issues like distortion and clipping, a good rule of thumb is to pick an amplifier with plenty of impedance headroom. Of course, whatever you decide upon, you can be sure that Crown has plenty of live power amplifiers to choose from, all of which are more than capable of offering you the strength needed to keep a show running smooth and troubleshoot-free.
For a power amplifier that's both dominant and portable, the Crown XLS 1500 is a high-performance workhorse that includes multiple inputs, along with several system setup configurations. Weighing less than 12 pounds, the Crown XLS 1500 is easy to transport, and the integrated DriveCore Technology gives you tons of flexibility. Another popular item is the Crown XTi 4002. One of the most innovative amplifiers on the market today, this incredible piece of equipment consists of a universal tracking switch-mode power supply and a fully incorporated suite of processing tools. To top it all off, the Subharmonic Synth of the XTi 4002 has been enhanced to make the frequency, gain and filter types easier to manage.
By receiving the audio signal from a mixing board and boosting it to a higher volume, live power amplifiers are essential to your audio sound system. And by going with a Crown amplifier, you'll be getting the perfect blend of durability, functionality and pristine sound quality.
