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 YEAR XGA-3000 True 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 clipping 2 x 150 RMS @ 8 ohms stereo 2 x 200 RMS @ 4 ohms stereo 1 x 400 RMS @ 8 ohms bridged Front-to-rear airflow and cooling fan for thermal stability and reliability XLR and ¼" (6.5mm Jack) balanced and RCA unbalanced inputs Limiter circuit switch for amp output protection Stereo, Parallel Mono and Mono Bridge Variable speed fan for low noise Comprehensive front panel indicators including signal, clip, protect 3 Speakon outputs for Channels A/B/Bridge 5-way binding banana plug channel outputs Bridge control switch DC output protection and Short circuit protection Frequency response 10Hz - 50kHz at 1.5 dB Ground lift switch Total Harmonic Distortion: Less than 0.1% Input sensitivity & Impedance: 0.77v Signal to Noise (20 Hz - 20 kHz) > 90dB Input Impedance: 20K ohms THD @ 20HZ - 20KHZ - 0.1 % Damping factor: >350 power, protection, clipping, and bridged LED indicators AC line fuse protection Thermal Cutoff Protection power up/down protection slow start protection 115/230V switchable Dimensions: 19 x 13.8 x 3.5 inches weight: 19.04 pounds Well 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

The old amp at my church went out, and needed to be replaced. While there's no way this produces 3,000 Watts, it does produce enough for my small church. Very well built, and fits perfectly in the audio rack! Very clean sound, and the anti clipping really works well. Yes, the fans are pretty loud, but not to the point of distraction, especially during the service. I'd rather have noisy fans, than none at all. Very solid build, and I can tell, this will give our church many years of great sound!

PLEASE READ OTHER REVIEWS,, ITS TRUE,, FAN NOISE IS OFF THE CHARTS, POSSIBLY AS LOUD AS THE MUSIC THE AMP PUTS OUT,, WHEN MUSIC ISNT PLAYING? YOU CAN HEAR THE FAN, A NEIGHBOR AWAY,, POWER ISNT THE PROBLEM, OBVIOUSLY THE PRICE WAS DECENT, I NOW SEE WHY!😡

It’s not a bad unit. But ..I would pull one of the zeros off behind that 5000. Running 2-15’s 2-12’s and a assortment of horns. In the practice room, not bad.. anything more than that you might need to kick it up to a Crown /Peavy Mackie ect. I had a Pyle around the same style of this unit halfway up is equal to this at 3/4. So it’s light duty. in the practice room it gets it done. It will clip easy. If you’re using it for practice studio, I wouldn’t be afraid of it. We’ve been using it for a few months and it’s great.. when it comes to power amps you can’t beat the price of this thing. Application depending.

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!

I recieved one of these to push to 18" subs. It will not do the trick even at low volume using a compressor/gate/limiter and crossover it starts to clip almost immediately. I've moved it up in the rack and its now powering the full ranges, 2 dual 15's with Compression Drivers and its doing the job. I haven't had any thermal issues with it. Its not running any base since the full ranges come out of a crossover, so i'd say its frequency range is anything down to about 75 80 hrtz..any lower than that it will start to clip out. But as a full range power amp it does just fine. Not super loud but enough. Currently i'm running it in stereo and haven't tried putting it into bridge and running my speakers in series off of it yet. Don't think it would hold for too long night after night of that. This amp is part of a permanent install in a night club and so far besides poor bass handling its performed well. I will probably buy another one of these to run the full ranges and just use it in bridged mode for one single tower, so each of my towers are on their own amp and maybe run just one more 15 in series off the tower. I'll try that and see how it works out.

Bought 2 of these to set up a home theater system, They work great. Have one running my subwoofers and one for my center channel currently. Planning on buying 2 more.

Lo único que no me agrado mucho es que es un poco ruidoso por los 2 ventiladores que trae pero es entendible porque es un aparato de potencia! XGA-3000

Great amplifier for the price, delivered on time. Thanks.

Der Lüfter ist selbst bei geringster Leistungsabgabe sehr laut. Betreibe das Gerät im Garten und man kann sich im Umkreis von 2 m kaum unterhalten. Ausserdem war ein Schaden am Montagewinkel (verbogen). Ansonsten funktioniert die Endstufe einwandfrei.
