Crown XTi 2002 Two-Channel Power Amplifier with DSP

The Crown XTi 2002 is a professional two-channel power amplifier designed for live sound reinforcement, touring systems, houses of worship, and permanent audio installations. Part of Crown's XTi 2 Series, this amplifier combines substantial output power with integrated digital signal processing, adjustable loudspeaker protection, and software-based system monitoring.

Delivering 800 watts per channel at 4 ohms, the XTi 2002 provides additional power for compatible passive loudspeakers and demanding sound reinforcement applications. Its rated output also includes 1,000 watts per channel at 2 ohms and 475 watts per channel at 8 ohms, giving system designers flexibility when selecting speaker configurations.

Unlike amplifiers that require separate external processing equipment for many system adjustments, the XTi 2002 incorporates onboard DSP for managing supported audio parameters and loudspeaker performance. Crown's Peakx Plus limiters provide adjustable threshold, attack, and release settings to help control excessive output and protect connected speakers.

The amplifier also includes an enhanced subharmonic synthesizer, providing user-adjustable frequency, gain, and filter settings for applications requiring additional low-frequency processing.

For professional installations, the XTi 2002 offers three selectable cooling fan modes and software monitoring of AC line voltage and power supply temperature. Compatibility with Crown HiQnet System Architect software provides additional configuration and monitoring capabilities.

With 50 available presets, including 49 user-definable configurations, the amplifier makes it easier to maintain consistent settings across different loudspeaker systems and performance environments.

Integrated cast-aluminum handles, a locking power cord clip, and a standard 2RU rackmount chassis complete a practical amplifier package for portable and installed sound applications.

Features & Benefits

High-Power Two-Channel Amplification

The Crown XTi 2002 provides two independent amplifier channels for professional low-impedance loudspeaker systems.

Its rated stereo output capabilities include:

• 1,000W per channel at 2Ω
• 800W per channel at 4Ω

These output ratings make the XTi 2002 suitable for compatible passive PA speakers, stage monitors, and other professional loudspeaker applications.

Compared with the XTi 1002, the XTi 2002 provides greater output power for systems requiring additional amplifier capacity.

Integrated Digital Signal Processing

The XTi 2002 includes onboard DSP for configuring supported amplifier and loudspeaker processing functions.

This allows sound system technicians to adjust amplifier behavior for specific speaker applications without relying entirely on separate external processing equipment.

Integrated processing can simplify system design while providing useful control over loudspeaker operation.

Crown Peakx Plus Limiters

The amplifier incorporates Crown Peakx Plus limiting technology to help manage excessive output levels.

Users can adjust important limiter parameters, including:

• Threshold
• Attack
• Release

These controls allow technicians to tailor limiter behavior to the characteristics of compatible loudspeakers.

Proper limiter configuration helps support reliable system operation during demanding performances.

Enhanced Subharmonic Synthesizer

The XTi 2002 features an enhanced subharmonic synthesizer for applications requiring additional low-frequency processing.

Available adjustments include:

• Frequency
• Gain
• Filter type

These settings provide flexibility when tuning compatible low-frequency loudspeaker systems.

Subharmonic processing should be configured according to the capabilities of the connected speakers to avoid excessive low-frequency demands.

Three Selectable Cooling Fan Modes

The Crown XTi 2002 provides three user-selectable cooling configurations.

Normal Mode: Standard fan operation for typical amplifier use.

Early Mode: Allows the cooling system to respond earlier to changing operating conditions.

Full Speed Mode: Provides continuous maximum fan operation when appropriate for the installation.

These options allow technicians to select cooling behavior suited to different operating environments.

Advanced Amplifier Monitoring

The XTi 2002 supports software-based monitoring of important operating information.

Available monitoring includes:

• AC line voltage
• Power supply temperature

This information helps technicians evaluate amplifier operating conditions and troubleshoot potential system issues.

HiQnet System Architect Compatibility

The amplifier supports Crown HiQnet System Architect software for compatible configuration and monitoring functions.

Software control provides additional flexibility for technicians working with amplifier DSP settings, presets, and system monitoring.

This can be particularly useful in permanent installations and professional sound systems using multiple Crown amplifiers.

Up to 50 Amplifier Presets

The Crown XTi 2002 supports 50 total presets, including 49 user-definable configurations.

Presets allow users to store settings for different loudspeaker systems or applications.

For touring sound companies and multipurpose venues, this capability helps reduce setup time and maintain consistent amplifier configurations.

Integrated Cast-Aluminum Handles

The amplifier includes cast-aluminum handles that simplify handling during rack installation and transportation.

These durable handles are particularly useful for portable sound systems that are frequently moved between venues.

Locking Power Cord Clip

A locking power cord clip helps secure the amplifier's AC connection.

This feature reduces the likelihood of accidental power cord disconnection during equipment handling or operation.

Compact 2RU Rackmount Construction

The XTi 2002 measures 19 inches wide, 3.5 inches high, and 12.25 inches deep.

Its standard 2RU chassis fits professional equipment racks, while its 18.5-pound weight makes it manageable for portable and installed applications.
