Crown XLS1002 2 x 350W Power Amplifier

The next generation of XLS got a makeover with a sleek new look, a LCD display that is three times larger, and more DSP with higher capabilities. Like its predecessor, the new XLS is ultra-efficient with Crown’s patented DriveCore technology and can drive 2400W at 4Ω bridged with tons of headroom guaranteeing a clean, undistorted signal straight to your speakers. The XLS DriveCore 2 assures that you will be heard as you deliver a powerful, pure sound experience for any venue.

Comprehensive controls to dial in the perfect setup
From managing input sensitivity to toggling amp modes, full customization is only a few clicks away. Included on the front panel is a user-friendly LCD screen, LED level indicators, on/off switch, and dedicated menu buttons. At a glance, the XLS 1002’s rear panel includes an array of inputs to accommodate any audio source. Add additional amps through 1/4-inch line-level outputs, Neutron Speakon outputs and binding posts — all while being protected against overload with the help of a built-in circuit breaker. With a built-in PureBand crossover system, Crown’s XLS 1002 has onboard highpass, lowpass, and band-pass filters that can be set up to 3000Hz with a 24 dB/octave slope.

A versatile two-channel amp to power any event
The Crown XLS 1002 can power 2-, 4-, or 8-ohm loads and can be bridged for 4-ohm or 8-ohm mono operation. As a Class D amplifier, you can expect optimal efficiency when driving the most demanding loudspeakers or subwoofers. And when pushing the amp to the limits, the internal heatsink and forced-air fans will automatically cool down the XLS 1002 for consistent reliability and an extended lifespan. Its lightweight design makes this power amp a clear choice for touring musicians or live production companies needing portability.
