- This Crown amplifier accepts banana plugs or bare wire.
Binding post outputs on European models come with safety plugs installed to prevent European power plugs from being inserted.
In this video i show how to remove those plugs.

Thanks for the tip. Had no idea how to remove the plugs before.
Wow. Thanks. I was very confused why I couldn't insert my banana plugs and the manual didn't help.
I'd put my banana plugs into where the speaker cable goes, i thought what an awful design... Nope, just a stupid user. Thank you for this.
Thanks, got my 1002's safety plugs out lickety split! Would've been a PITA if I had had to try to figure it out by myself.
My Crown Com-Tech 210 has screw terminals on the back.
I love that they accept bananas bare wire or neutrik connectors. I use the later on my Crowns.
Thanks! Saved me some time trying to figure this out!
Thanks you just saved me a bit of work and time.
I use the speakon terminals with my crown amps. When I had consumer gear and used banana plugs I plugged them into the top holes.
I was able to remove on XLI 800 easily by fully seating the outer plastic (no wires connected) and using a small flat head screw driver. Popped right out and can then be plugged back in without and visual damage.
This would have taken me forever to figure out!
Why would they think it is a good idea to plug up those ports?
How can I have individual volume control remotely of each channel? Preferable under $30
Thought about splicing up two RCA bass knobs + - input with the sub wire then the other
out RCA on the knob directly into the amp....but I don't understand how to
determine if that is suitable for the 100-300 watt RMS draw from each channel
Will this work and if so any concerns/cons? Or any better options? Would appreciate
replies from anyone that would be knowledgeable on best way to accomplish this.
Cheers!
Thank you!
Thank you again 😊
What possible danger is there in mistakenly plugging a hairdryer into an amplifier output? It’s speaker cable banana PLUGS that should come with special warnings in the EU. Banana jacks pose no risk.
A part of the plastic screw was broken and now stuck in the banna plug terminal. Any solution to fix this ?
if it doesn't fall out when you turn the amp and try to shake it out, you could try a thinner screw, and maybe heat it up (the screw) with a lighter?
or better maybe use a small drill bit?
I fixed it thx :))
Thank you!!!
One question..Can i connect my studio monitors at the crown amplifier?
Yes, absolutely
Ha! thanks. What a silly design. I was about to completely replace the banana jacks.
I got that amp haven’t hooked it up yet going to run 8ga wire to my new speakers they 15s boo ya
Hi, I have the same 'exact' amp. How do you 'bridge-wire' it to use 1 speaker using wire (+,-) cables?
Very helpful!
Thanks so much
Thanks a lot
Is it me or are you pulling out multiple stuff out from each channels or what???
yes i do
How do I get the quarter inch cables to work? I plug them in as much as I can and I still get no sound to my passive speakers. Help would be appreciated.
Did you remove the plugs as shown in the video? Then next step setup (user manual) or i made a video for bridge mode here: th-cam.com/video/bUytbBzgD8s/w-d-xo.html One of the settings is input sensitivity, you may want to try a different setting there?
The amp only has 1/4” inputs, not speaker outs. 1/4” speaker cables won’t work with binding post/banana jacks or Speakons, which are the only two output choices.
Why the hell they put the plugs in the first place? Were they planning to hide diamonds or cocaine in there (No body scan on goods for import/export - I guess)when they designed the amps?
"European models come with safety plugs installed to prevent European power plugs from being inserted."
All 3 pairs of speakers I bought the past year came with plugs in the banana holes :/
Is there a way to fasten the banana plugs to prevent them from falling out, or do they stay in place fairly well after they're plugged in? Thanks for the vid...even the technical support at Crown couldn't tell me what you demonstrated.
n0g4rdd3r they stay in , because they are pretty tight. If you need a connection that is pull resistant then you could use Speakeon connectors
They don't stay in - well for a while they will, but not over the long haul. With a 4 ohm load anything over 500 watts RMS over time will overheat banana plugs and they will loosen and arc - guaranteed. I have a dozen XTi amps, the only one in the series that has decent output terminal block design is the XTi 6002. The 1002, 2002, & 4002 will not accept flat terminal lugs on the output terminals.
Putting bare wires under screw lugs is a really piss poor solution to output interface as is the use of banana plugs. Use of "Wire Ferrules" is the best way to do it. This is per Crown Technical Support.
Crown really dropped the ball on this aspect of otherwise good amps. QSC screwed up their PLD line about as bad using Neutrik Speakon as the outputs. To interface a PLD amp to a IO patch panel one need to use expensive Speakon connectors on the amp. What a joke.
The XTi 6002 output terminals will accept flat spade lug terminals which work great.
Crown plugs the output terminals of these amplifiers to satisfy "European" requirements as noted in the video.
Do realize you can just plug them into the hole on the top. Or you could just stick the bare wire in there on the top. And then screw the terminal back down on the wire to tighten it
The point of banana plugs is to connect/disconnect faster, if needed.
@@mygiguser yeah you can plug them in and disconnect them from the top or use bare wire. 🧐🤨
so you completely missed the point...
those plugs are so misplaced. A PA amp that is baby secure. Go figure.
Thank you!
