The Crown XTi1002 power amp meant for the Chinese market ( everything written in Chinese !) is being sold by some people. Has anyone bought this and tried it out ? Concerned that they may have issues , maybe short term or long term issues ! Manufactured in 2013 ! ( 110 ~230 V capable power supply without voltage switching )
I have another Crown XLS2500 that works without any issues. In fact it was a 110 V unit that I plugged straight into the 230 V mains and the display came on with info I couldnt understand. I shut it off after 30 seconds or so . I turned it on at least three times for short periods to see if I could figure out what the display said. Later I remembered that it was a 110 V unit. I contacted Crown who asked me to power it up again with 110V and report what happens. So I used a step down transformer and turned it on and it worked fine ! Apparently it was protected if plugged into the wrong mains supply ! Great feature !
