Whether you're a musician, DJ, or live sound engineer, you're sure to appreciate what this remarkably rugged amplifier can do for your PA system. With user-selectable input sensitivity (.755V or 1.4V) and a host of standard output connectors, the 800-watt XLi 800 is a perfect fit for mobile rigs, traditional venues, and houses of worship alike. And with over six decades making some of the most popular power amplifiers on Earth, you know you can trust Crown and your XLi 800 no matter what.

All the versatility you can ask for in a budget-friendly amplifier

You know the old adage about how if you ask two live sound engineers how to setup a system you'll get three answers? Well, this Crown XLi 800 power amplifier can handle them all. Whether you need an amp that can do stereo, parallel, or bridged-mono mode, XLi series amps will do the trick. Even if you're constantly reconfiguring your system, you'll get all the versatility you need from your XLi 800.

Packed with the quality I/O your venue or mobile rig demands

No two rigs are the same, which is why Crown outfitted their XLi amplifiers (including the XLi 800) with all of the popular connections serious live sound engineers demand. On the input side, the XLi 800 offers both balanced XLR and unbalanced RCA jacks, accommodating professional mixers and DJ systems alike. Conversely, both low-tech binding posts and modern speakON connectors let you attach any variety of passive PA speakers.

Smart and rugged design protects against everyday hazards

One thing no engineer can afford is losing an amp right before (or in the middle of) a show. With a Crown XLi 800 in your rig, you can worry about setting a good mix, not keeping your amp from exploding. Crown built their XLi series power amplifiers with safety in mind, protecting against shorts, empty loads, on/off thumps, and more. And while they were at it, they even gave the XLi 800 a mighty effective shield against the kind of RF that can ruin any show, so you don't have to cringe the next time the talent shows up with their special (read, outdated) wireless system.

Crown XLi 800 Power Amplifier Features:
  • An affordable and reliable power amplifier you can use in any PA system
  • 600-watts in bridged-mono mode, up to 300-watts stereo/parallel operation
  • Includes both unbalanced RCA and balanced XLR input connectivity
  • Binding post and speakON output connectors let you use virtually any passive PA speakers
  • Selectable input voltage (.755V or 1.4V) lets you set up your rig to match your gear
  • LED power, fault, signal-presence, and clip indicators let you keep an eye on the safety of your amplifier
  • Forced-air cooling and protection against shorts, no-load, and on/off thumps ensure smooth operation and long life
  • Excellent shielding against radio-frequency interference keeps your sound clean, even in heavy wireless conditions

Reviews

The boost in power that my vintage integrated amp needed.
Very pleased with this purchase and my first buying experience with Sweetwater. I was looking at this amp to hook to my vintage Nikko integrated amp that I purchased back in 1979. I needed more power for a large set of speakers. My Sales Engineer Huntley did a great job of answering my technical questions and helping me with entering the order. The amp shipped promptly and arrived in perfect condition, (packaged really well). The amp appears to be very well built and is heavy duty. After hooking it up, the moment of truth came. Would it meet the high expectations that I had after reading all the great reviews? You bet it did! No pop or hiss and good clean sound even at high volume levels. I could definitely hear a difference in powering my 6 ohm speakers with over 200 watts per channel. I'm also very impressed with the cooling fans. They are super quiet even when standing right next to the amp between tracks.
Time will tell on the long term performance and reliability of this amp, but for now, I highly recommend the amp and doing business with Sweetwater.
Fantastic!
I've only ran this amp for probably 7-8hours so far but wow has it impressed. For the speakers I'm driving with it, it leaves my old amp in the dust. I've been running this amp at less than half power so far and it's giving me all the power I need to push some good quality decibels from my mains. Crystal clear audio is what this provides. Now I'm just excited to get another one to drive a sub eventually.

Can’t beat Crown
This is the perfect amp for a couple of floor monitors. Can't beat the quality and simplicity of the Crown amp. Sweetwater has the best selection, price, and service….hands down!
