Crown xti1000 problem

#1 Post by Russell Remley »

I just took delivery of 2 Xti 1000s. Both were built earlier this year. I am running one stereo on tops and one bridge mono on a sub. I set up all my DSP settings with Band Manager. Got everything set and hooked up. Turned up the volume and nothing... On the software they aren't muted. Input signal is there. But when I turn up the levels nothing goes to the output and there is no sound. The trouble shooting part of the manual show different error codes with the front LED's. I am not getting either of those errors. I shut down band manager and tried to use just the panel controls and no change. I used system architect to reflash the firmware(even though it was the latest release) and nothing changed. I am in panic mode. I bought these for a party I have this Sat, and I can't figure out the issue. All assistance appreciated. I am lost. If it was just one amp, I would think bad amp...but 2, I am thinking a problem with my settings. I tried with no dsp as well and nothing. Has anyone had a problem like this.

Nevermind...I am an idiot. I thought Band Manager controlled the levels, but you still have to turn up the pots. I did mess with the pots but I think I had the levels in band manager down. I had just got home from 14 days of work and must not have been completely there. All good now.

it's good that there isn't something like defective units. i hate return/exchange ordeals.

Well I actually had already contacted the vendor and they were going to overnight me 2 replacements as I needed them for a gig this weekend. 5 min after I got off the phone with them Crown called me back and we worked out the issue. I immediately called and canceled the replacements.

Unless you are running a pair of series wired drivers, this is a formula for fried drivers. Too much voltage for only a single or pair of drivers.
