This is an amp made for live sound not studio so it has a hiss but if you want the power it preforms it,s worth it. micro teach amps dont have the hiss but the price is 5 times more and most people can't afford it even though they are the best money can byebut if you want to be better than the rest,XTI are on top.

Crown in name only

Posted by John in Springs from Miami on Oct 2, 2009

Reviewer's Background: Pro gigging musician

Reviewer's Play Style: The whole rock genre

I have 4 of these that I use currently in my rack setup for my band, 3 for a tri-amp setup for our house mix, one for vocal monitors and we use a big Mackie for instrument monitors.

We don't use the DSP because we have an active crossover system for tri-amping. I like the power we get out of them when we are gigging, BUT I hate the hiss we get with no signal input. We recorded with live condenser mics and you could hear the hiss loud and clear between songs.

I have owned Macro-Techs in the past and when you turn the board up to full, with all channels unmuted at full volume with no signal present you hear nothing out of the speakers. Not so with these XTi's, I will be replacing our house mix XTi's with Macro-Techs in the very near future, and these will be relegated to monitor duties and maybe to bass amp duties as well.

Also it's not the board, we are using a Crest Audio XR24 board, that thing is the quietest board I have used so far and I have had Mackies, Allen Heaths, Soundcraft, this one beats them all.

It's the amps that are hissing, not good!

If you are hoping this amp to perform like the Micro/Macro/K series amps from Crown look elsewhere. This is not the kind of performance we have come to expect from Crown. The price point and light weight are quite attractive, but after using it for 6 months I am ready to buy a real power amp and a hand truck to carry it around.

excellent amp

I own three of these amps, and I plan on buying more. They are very light and run cool. I wish they were less expensive, but you definitely get your money's worth out of an investment in Crown XTi series. I don't use the DSP features. The menu system is tricky to figure out. The signal level meter on each channel is a nice feature. They ship with heavy 14ga power cords. Plan on using them, because these can draw a lot of juice.

GREAT AMPS, BUT....

Posted by SloppyDrummer from Slingerlands, NY on Mar 3, 2008

Experience w/product: I own it

Reviewer's Background: Weekend Warrior

Reviewer's Play Style: Classic Rock

Purchased two xti 2000's and one 1000. Had great features, lots of power, sounds great, and the config options are more than I'll ever use...BUT - the 2 xti2000s had to go to warranty service twice, once for a broken display and once for a dead channel. xti1000 almost went in, but when I took the stacked load off of it, the display buttons popped out and I could resume use. In a rack case, I recommend an empty 1u between the amps. Warranty service was very good (3 years), and I hope the bugs are gone. Still, an overall great product, as I hope my problems have since been addressed.
