Crestron AMP-X1000 X-Series Amplifier, 1000 W

Product Overview

The Crestron AMP-X1000 is a 4-channel commercial amplifier delivering 1000 W of total power in a compact 1 RU chassis. Each channel can be independently configured for low-impedance 4 or 8 ohm speakers or high-impedance 70V/100V distributed systems, making it adaptable to a wide range of installations. Advanced Class D technology and a fanless convection-cooled design keep the amplifier efficient, quiet, and stackable in a rack. The AMP-X1000 is built for commercial audio environments that need flexible routing and dependable performance.

Product Description

The AMP-X1000 provides four amplifier channels with a combined output that will not exceed 1000 W. Each output can be set to 250 W into 4 or 8 ohm, 500 W into 8 ohm, or 500 W for 70V/100V distributed audio, giving integrators per-channel control over impedance and power mode. Balanced and unbalanced inputs accept up to two stereo or four mono sources through detachable terminal blocks or RCA connectors, and BUS input and output connectors allow audio to be shared between stacked amplifiers. Front-panel rotary controls handle gain, input source selection, and output mode per channel, while LEDs indicate signal, fault, Hi-Z mode, and power state. Advanced Class D technology maximizes efficiency to reduce power consumption and heat, and the internal universal power supply maintains consistent performance across line voltages. A Power Saver mode places the amplifier in standby after 25 minutes without signal and wakes it in about half a second when a signal returns. Comprehensive protection guards against overcurrent, undervoltage, overtemperature, DC offset, and extreme high frequency. The fanless 1 RU chassis is high-density stackable with other Crestron AMP series products, with rack hardware and adhesive feet included.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can the AMP-X1000 drive both 8 ohm and 70V speakers? Yes. Each of the four channels can be independently set to 4/8 ohm low-impedance or 70V/100V high-impedance operation.

How many sources can it accept? It accepts up to two stereo or four mono sources through balanced terminal blocks or unbalanced RCA inputs.

Does it need extra rack ventilation? No. The fanless convection-cooled design is high-density stackable with other Crestron AMP series products without extra ventilation space.

How does standby work? In Power Saver mode the amplifier enters low-power standby after 25 minutes with no signal and wakes in about 0.5 second when a signal returns.

Is rack mounting hardware included? Yes. Rack mounting hardware and adhesive feet are included.

What warranty applies? The AMP-X1000 is covered by the Crestron 3-year limited warranty. For system design assistance, Contact Creation Networks.
