Crown XTI 2002 Owner's Manual

This is the default mode the amplifier is set to from the factory. The 
amplifier is configured for stereo mode with all processing disabled.

1.  Connect Left/Right signal source to Channel 1 and Channel 2 using 

the XLR connectors.

2.  Connect a speaker to each channel output using Speakon

®

, Banana 

Plugs, or bare wire.

Putting the amplifier in BRIDGE (bridge-mono) mode delivers the power of 
both amp channels into a single 8 or 4 ohm load.  The XTi2 Series amplifiers 
come pre-loaded with a preset that makes it easy to configure the amplifier for 
this operation.

Before you get started ensure that you:

1.

  

Connect signal source to Channel 1 and Channel 2 using XLR connectors 

(the amplifier inputs will automatically be summed together when 
selecting this preset).

2.

  

Connector the speaker as shown.

  

a.

  

If using the binding post outputs, connect the positive terminal of the speaker to the positive terminal of Channel 1 and 
the negative terminal of the speaker to the positive terminal of Channel 2.

  

b.

  

If using a Speakon

®

 connector, connect the positive terminal of the speaker to 1+ and the negative terminal to 2+. Plug the 

connector into the Channel 1 output only.
