| Being pretty new to this we are looking for some of the communities thoughts. I am looking for recommendations on some type of amp as we aren't getting much volume from the monitors. Wouldn't mind it being something we could grow with, but prefer to start off small. |

Ah, welcome, welcome, welcome to the world of DJing. Here is something you can definately use with monitors and eventually use for bigger speakers and get a smaller amp for the monitors:
CROWN XLS402
Specifications:
The following applies to units in Stereo mode with 8-ohm loads and rated input sensitivity unless otherwise specified.
Performance:
Sensitivity (volts RMS) for full rated power at 4 ohms:
XLS-402: 1.025V
Frequency Response (at 1 watt) 20 Hz to 20 kHz: ±0.75 dB.
Phase Response (degrees at 1 watt):
at 10 Hz: –10.
at 20 kHz: +19.
Signal-to-Noise Ratio (20 Hz to 20 kHz)
A-weighted, below rated power: > 100 dB.
No weighting, below rated power: > 95 dB.
Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) at full bandwidth power, from 20 Hz to 1 kHz: < 0.5%.
Intermodulation Distortion (IMD)(60 Hz and 7 kHz at 4:1) from full rated output to –40 dB: < 0.3%.
Damping Factor (8 ohm) 10 Hz to 400 Hz: >200. Crosstalk (below rated power)
at 1 kHz: –82 dB.
at 20 kHz: –58 dB.
Voltage Gain (at maximum output): 31 dB.
Power:
Output Power: See power charts at left.
Load Impedance: Safe with all types of loads.
Rated for 2 to 8 ohms per channel in Stereo, 8 ohms in Bridge Mono.
AC Line Voltage and Frequency Configurations Available (±10%): 120VAC/60 Hz and 230VAC/50 Hz.
Controls:
Level: Two front-panel, black rotary level controls, one for each channel.
Power: Front-panel switch; on when in the UP position.
Circuit Breaker: Provides overload protection. Indicators
Clip: Two front-panel red LEDs, one for each channel, illuminate when the channel’s output signal is being overdriven.
Power: Green front-panel LED indicates amplifi er has been turned on and AC power is available.
Fault: Yellow front-panel LED illuminates when amplifi er is in protect mode. Also illuminates briefl y during normal power-up when amplifi er is fi rst switched on.
Input/Output:
Input Connectors: One per channel; backpanel three-pin female XLR input connectors.
Input Impedance (nominally balanced, nominally unbalanced): 20 k ohms, 10 k ohms.
Output Connectors: One 4-pole Speakon® connector and one pair of back-panel, 5-way binding posts per channel; accepts banana plugs, spade lugs or bare wire. (European models do not accept banana plugs.)
DC Output Offset (shorted input): ±10 millivolts.
Output Signal: Stereo, unbalanced, two-channel.
Protection:
XLS Series amplifiers provide extensive protection and diagnostic capabilities, including output current limiting, DC protection, circuit breaker, and special thermal protection for the unit’s transformers.
Construction:
Ventilation: Flow-through ventilation from front to back.
Cooling: Internal heat sinks with forced-air cooling for rapid, uniform heat dissipation.
Air Volume Requirements (per minute per unit): 80.15 ft³ (2.27 m³).
Dimensions: EIA Standard 19-inch (48.3-cm) rack mount width (EIA RS-310-B), 3.5-inch (8.9-cm) height and 14-inch (35.6-cm) depth behind the mounting surface.
Net Weight:
XLS-402: 25.3 lbs. (11.5 kg)
This one retails for 349.99 visit my friend's online Pro DJ Equipment store at www.djmart.com and you'll save 50.00, he has it on special for 298.99. Crown amps are the best in their class, very clear and lots of power. I have two, an XLS602 and CE2000.
Is this something that you have been looking for, if not can you be more specific. Email djmart.com and tell them that Daniel referred you and you might get a better price. In your email put attn: Lenny.
Good Luck! |

which ever crown you get, it will last you prob. then your mixer, plus they hold their value(in the pre owned equipment world) should you have a need to sell. or worse thing is that you use that amp for your home entertainment system, :D :D :D |
