The Crown XLi 1500 is a two-channel Class-AB power amplifier designed for professional sound systems. It supports stereo, parallel, and bridged-mono operation, with balanced XLR and unbalanced RCA inputs, plus Speakon and binding-post speaker outputs. It delivers 330 W per channel into 8 ohms or 450 W per channel into 4 ohms in stereo, and 900 W into 8 ohms in bridged mode. Protection features include safeguards against short circuits, no-load conditions, power-on/off thumps, and radio-frequency interference; cooling is by forced air.
