Frequently asked questions
What is the core purpose of each product?
The EOL Box monitors speaker circuit health and detects faults through pilot tone detection. The XLi 800 is a two-channel power amplifier that amplifies audio signals to drive loudspeakers.
Can I use both products together?
Yes. The XLi 800 could amplify audio in a Crown system where the EOL Box monitors circuit integrity at the end of speaker runs, though they serve different functions.
Which is better for small venues or portable rigs?
The XLi 800 is designed for amplification in touring and portable applications. The EOL Box is a diagnostic tool for permanent or semi-permanent distributed speaker installations.
What are the impedance specifications?
The EOL Box provides selectable 10 Ω or 5 Ω loads at 20 kHz for monitoring. The XLi 800 is rated at 300W per channel at 4 ohms with standard speaker-level output connections.
