Members spsounds Posted June 22, 2009 Members Share Posted June 22, 2009 It was my understanding that the xti seris was alot more efficent at power draw. This is actually saying the crown draws more. Is this the correct spec to see what the power draw is? Power RequirementsTypical, 1/8 power pink noise at 4?* xti 4000 10. 5 amps qsc rmx 4050hd 10 amps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members agedhorse Posted June 22, 2009 Members Share Posted June 22, 2009 The efficiency is about the same, so is the amp topology which is class G/H. Makes sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members KF650SB1000 Posted June 22, 2009 Members Share Posted June 22, 2009 We are a Crown house and we've been running IT and XTi's since the release and haven't had any problems with them.+1 for the XTi in versatility+2 for the XTi being lighter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members agedhorse Posted June 23, 2009 Members Share Posted June 23, 2009 We are a QSC house and would suggest the PLX as comparing to the XTi. Very reliable, light and compact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Unalaska Posted June 23, 2009 Members Share Posted June 23, 2009 The RMX4050 puts out more power under all loads. If the ratings are similar then I would go with the 4050 due to efficiency. If it has to travel the the crown. PLX3602 would be a great choice BUT. What kind of amps are you using? I like to keep them all in the same family of amps. Easier to rack, patch etc...

Members spsounds Posted June 23, 2009 Author Members Share Posted June 23, 2009 Right now we use xti's. I have 4 xti 4000's. 3 xti 2000's.I have never even glanced at anything but power ratings on the box till i found this forum. I was always under the impression that the xti's were a power saving model and the rmx seris was a power hog. i own a few rmx 2450's (in clubs) they are great amps but VERY heavey, thats why we use xti's. At my big club i have 2 xti 4000's (on 4 yamaha club dual 18's) and a xs 700 on 2 yamaha club 15's. This all runs on 15 amps. I dont see 2 4050's running on 15 amps. Maybe im still stero typing the rmx seris. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members mtmra70 Posted June 23, 2009 Members Share Posted June 23, 2009 We are a Crown & QSC house and I......who am I kidding, you dont care about my recommendation I have used pretty much QSC and Crown for 90% of my applications. Both are very good, but QSC does seem to offer some more inexpensive options without DSP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
