Frequently Asked Questions
- What power does the XLi 3500 deliver in bridged mono mode?
- In bridged mono mode, the XLi 3500 delivers approximately 2700W into 8Ω — making it a formidable subwoofer amplifier for larger systems. Always use an 8Ω minimum load in bridged mono mode.
- Is the XLi 3500 suitable for touring use?
- Yes. The XLi 3500 is a capable touring amplifier for applications where XLi-tier performance is sufficient. For the highest-output touring applications with DSP and network control, Crown's XTi 2 and I-Tech HD series offer additional capabilities.
- How does the XLi 3500 compare to the XTi series?
- The XTi series amplifiers include onboard DSP for active loudspeaker management, which the XLi series lacks. The XLi 3500 is a cost-effective choice for applications where external DSP is already in the signal chain. The XTi 6002, for example, provides 2100W per channel with full DSP.
- What is the minimum impedance for stereo operation?
- The XLi 3500 is rated for 4Ω minimum per channel in stereo mode. In bridged mono, the minimum load is 8Ω. Operating below these specifications risks damage to the amplifier.
- What warranty does the XLi 3500 carry?
- The Crown XLi 3500 is covered by Crown's 3-year limited warranty for professional audio amplifiers.
