The Crown MA-9000i is a professional stereo power amplifier designed for
installed applications. The rugged chassis houses patented Class-I circuitry,
which provides high-quality audio and gets the most power out of the amplifier
with minimal wasted energy. The amplifier has built-in load, line voltage, and
I/O monitoring, to protect against faults and shorts. If one channel experiences
a failure, the entire amplifier will shut down, potentially saving your
equipment.
The MA-9000i can operate in stereo or bridged modes, and offers XLR input and
link/out connectors, as well as Speakon and Binding Post outputs, allowing you
to connect to virtually any sound system. An Ethernet port lets you connect the
amplifier to a network, allowing you to monitor and control the amp from any
location. A global power supply and 5 different power cords make sure you're
connected, regardless of where you're working.
The front panel features individual gain controls for each channel with lighted
level indicators. LED lights show the status of Power, Ready, and Signal, and
also indicate when you're in bridge mode or connected to a network.
Variable-speed fans with front-to-back airflow keep internal components cool for
rock-solid reliability.

US, UK, Europe, Australia, and India
Connectivity
The amplifier features XLR input and out/link connectors, as well and Speakon
and Binding Post outputs, letting you connect to virtually any sound system
Cooling
Variable speed fans with front-to-back airflow keep things running smoothly for

Protection
Integrated circuitry protects against reactive loads, faults and shorts. If
either channel has a catastrophic failure, the entire amplifier shuts down to
protect the system.
I'm a proud user of Crown and always intrigue how good the 28lb MA9000i sounds compare to my MA5002VZ as my 5000i was almost there. I used for my bottom EAW 250R and top KF300Z process with an EAW UX8800. I received my 9000i about a week ago and started the burning in process for 6 hours a day, and let me say this 28lb rocks, the bottom is deep down to 20 Hz, and the punch is equal to the MA5002VZ but with more authority. And yeah gentle with power consumption, works like a beauty on 15 amp outlets, but better with 20 amps. Keep in mind that speaker wires are equally important, I use the top of the Mogami, and is not cheap. My huge recommendation for the 9000i, a heck of amp, Kudos to Crown.
