Gemini Professional 5000W 2-Channel Power Amplifier – High-Powered DJ & PA Audio Amp with XLR/RCA Inputs, Bridge Mode, Built-in Protection & Cooling for Live Sound & Installations (XGA-5000)

Hi I'm Kman,When I first purchase the XGA-3000 I did a lot of research on the different lines of lower priced power amps. I am just starting my first mobile karaoke business and learned the right amp can be crucial to my set up. The Gemini XGA-3000 got great reveiws (4 stars), but almost as important published its specs on power to the speakers in dbs and rms. Anyway the following kinda stuff talks real loud to me:Warranty: 2 YEARXGA-3000True Power from the Professionals!The new XGA SERIES Professional Power Amplifier comes designed to deliver the maximum wattage and amount of power to any speaker.Each XGA amp is durable and lightweight, and offers an unmatched value in their class. With their powerful, reliable performance, the XGA Series amps easily handle any amount of usage and can deliver deep pulsating lows.Features:3000 Watt IPP* High Power output to drive professional loudspeakers without clipping2 x 150 RMS @ 8 ohms stereo2 x 200 RMS @ 4 ohms stereo1 x 400 RMS @ 8 ohms bridgedFront-to-rear airflow and cooling fan for thermal stability and reliabilityXLR and ¼" (6.5mm Jack) balanced and RCA unbalanced inputsLimiter circuit switch for amp output protectionStereo, Parallel Mono and Mono BridgeVariable speed fan for low noiseComprehensive front panel indicators including signal, clip, protect3 Speakon outputs for Channels A/B/Bridge5-way binding banana plug channel outputsBridge control switchDC output protection and Short circuit protectionFrequency response 10Hz - 50kHz at 1.5 dBGround lift switchTotal Harmonic Distortion: Less than 0.1%Input sensitivity & Impedance: 0.77vSignal to Noise (20 Hz - 20 kHz) > 90dBInput Impedance: 20K ohmsTHD @ 20HZ - 20KHZ - 0.1 %Damping factor: >350power, protection, clipping, and bridged LED indicatorsAC line fuse protectionThermal Cutoff Protectionpower up/down protectionslow start protection115/230V switchableDimensions: 19 x 13.8 x 3.5 inchesweight: 19.04 poundsWell I looked at a lot amps under $250 and this one had the rep and the specs I looked for-so I got it.My testing reveiw:I have it in line with my PC with 620G XHD, my CAVS DVD 105G-multi/CDG/USB-XHD/MPEG4/HDCD player, my Gemini MM-3000 3 mic/5 channel Mixer, and my Gemini PA-7000 PreAmp, driving two 15" KCH subs, four 8" mids, and two 8" singers floor monitors. So far I haven't turned the PreAmp OR the Amp up more than 1 o'clock and I AM GETTING SOME SERIOUS BIG AWESOME CLEAR SOUND WITH ALMOST NO DISTORTION. This is with it set up with a balanced 8 ohms per speaker setup side, so that's the lowest power setting of 150 rms. Of course I don't want to push it. For another $170 (or less)I plan to get another for output B on my PreAmp, for speaker upgrades to larger venues.That'a my review. For the money as a no frills Pro Amp I think it gets the job done great if you set up your system correctly and have a good mixer and PreAmp. 5 stars from me.Kman 4/16/11

Need a power amp? We did to run our passive monitors and this amp SMOKES! Not too heavy, has a powerful fan, and the great twist connectors. I had to buy new speaker cables to connect to it, but man, does it ROCK!!!! My only "complaint" is the fan is rather loud. But, when you use it you don't hear the fan, so "no harm, no foul." I heartily recommend this amp for anyone wanting a PA amp or even a stereo amp for a sound system. Great amp and a GREAT PRICE!!!! Gemini is on my radar now concerning sound equipment. Go ahead, take the plunge. You'll be glad you did!!!! PS. Don't buy an OPEN BOX amp. I did and had to return it for a CLOSED BOX one. OPEN BOX means that something is probably suspect with that one. CLOSED BOX is the ONLY WAY to go!

This is a great product 👌 great sound loud. The only issue I have is the fan is too noisy. Excellent quality for the price.

This amo only puts out about 100 watts at best, with a terrible hum with it turned all the way up. Definitely not worth buying.

Description and attached photos if rear panel indicated this Amplifier worked with XLR, 1/4 inch phono plug OR RCA cables. THIS AMP DOES NOT HAVE RCA inputs! Luckily I had XLR cables. Amazon is lucky I'm not shipping this back.

The positives:* I have owned over 10 amps so far.* This unit is by far is the best to date.* Sound quality is superb* Low noise though system at idle (very important)* Matched to the correct speakers, it will ROCK OUT*I now rock 2 Gemini amps,*I will say adding a proper EQ really adds quality. -However don't go cheap! I purchased Rockville EQ's and it was a waste. They produced a hum at idle that drove me nuts. Now running all DBX EQ units. Far superior!----the negatives:* I purchased this to replace a similar wattage unit, should have done it sooner* The weight of the unit, but what do you expect form a pro amp?* Does not fit well in a standard rack setup. I wanted it on the bottom due to its larger size, however the way the rack ears are required it to be the higher amp in the lower case. Not a big deal, just a little thing* biggest negative is you don't have one!

My other amp lost sound on one side so I had to quick replace it. Wasn't sure about this amp Yes it's certainly not expensive, but it worked flawlessly. I just do very small gigs so I didn't need anything fancy. This does exactly what I need.
