Crown Audio XLS 2002 Two-channel 650W Power Amplifier
Description
Crown Audio XLS 2002 Two-channel 650W Power Amplifier
The XLS 2002 delivers serious power in a compact, lightweight package—weighing less than 11 pounds while pushing massive wattage to your speakers with virtually no distortion. Crown's patented DriveCore technology ensures efficiency and headroom that lets you drive full output without compromise, making this amp equally at home in live sound reinforcement, touring rigs, or permanent installations. The enlarged LCD display and expanded DSP capabilities give you precise control over your signal path, while intelligent thermal management keeps the unit running cool under sustained load.
Power & Efficiency
Output reaches 650 watts per channel at 4 ohms, 375 watts per channel at 8 ohms, and 1,050 watts per channel at 2 ohms; bridge mode delivers 2,100 watts at 4 ohms or 1,300 watts at 8 ohms. Class D amplifier design with DriveCore technology achieves this performance while keeping weight under control and maintaining a signal-to-noise ratio of 103 dB and total harmonic distortion of just 0.5%—guaranteeing clean, undistorted signal delivery to your speakers.
Connectivity & Signal Control
Multiple input options—balanced XLR, 1/4" and RCA inputs—adapt to any signal source, while selectable input sensitivity at 1.4Vrms and .775Vrms ensures the amp operates at full power regardless of your source level. Touchproof binding post and speakON outputs provide secure, professional speaker connections, and the integrated PureBand™ Crossover System with band pass filter per channel and Peakx™ limiters gives you precise frequency control and speaker protection across a variable crossover range of 30Hz to 3kHz.
