Gemini Professional 1300W 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)

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 bought this amp to power a pair of 15 inch alpine subs and it does it with ease! This thing can handle a tonnn of power and seems very durable and high quality. Its reasonably priced aswell.

Sound quality is good, there's limited noise/static, and plenty of power. The fans are definitely not temperature controlled and just run at 100% all the time. Unless this is going in a closet backstage you're going to want to swap the fans. The ones that come with this can't be in the same room as your speakers.

I have had a problem with this item since about 2 months now it has been acting up and not producing the fine sounds of tweeters. The bass and the mids works fine when used direct. Hooking up a crossover there is no sound coming from the heights and tweeters. It just simply doesn't process the crossover input. Please advice.

I am very disappointed. It is not NEAR 5000 watts. I run about six PA amplifiers, and use everything from a PEAVEY 3000, a 8000 18 sub, as well as some 'cheap' 100 watt heads. Even the 100 watt head I use for the monitors has more power than these amp. Extremely disappointed. I destroyed part of the styrofoam, broke it taking the amp out of the box, or I would return. DO NOT BUY THIS AMP.

This is good equipment I have it hooked up to four eighteens dj speakers and it works them hard for hours with no problems. I have had it for maybe six weeks and am thinking about getting another.

Having had a lot of Gemini amps in the past i thought this would be a good fit for my home vinyl dedicated room. Oh How wrong I was, turned it on, the fans are unacceptably noisy, so much so they overshadow any low volume you may want to use. the output power was less than My old Gemini GPA 3000. As a pro audio guy for over 40 years the manufacturers have lost their way. The only time this amp could be used is in a dedicated amp room away from the main music source, not sure if the one i had was faulty but the output power was extremely low. Save yourself time and trouble avoid this.

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.
