XLS Series with Integrated DriveCore™Technology The XLS Series of power amplifiers from Crown define the standard for live sound systems with unmatched performance, technology, and affordability. This high-performance line consists of four models each providing enormous power and flexibility thanks to the integrated DriveCore™Technology
, PureBand™Crossover System and Peakx™limiters. And weighing in at only 10 lbs or less, they provide the ultimate in lightweight portability. Integrated DriveCore™Technology Class D amplifiers are notable for extraordinarily high efficiency and being well suited for driving difficult reactive loads such as subwoofers. However, their performance can suffer impaired performance on marginal and unstable AC line supplies. To overcome this obstacle, Crown engineers developed DriveCore™Technology - a proprietary hybrid analog-digital integrated circuit (IC) developed with Texas Instruments that drives the "front end" of the Class D output stage. Over 60 years of Crown's design knowledge and experience went into the development of this technology resulting in truly remarkable benefits. DriveCore™Technology provides an extremely wide-tolerance with regards to sagging or "dirty" AC line conditions providing consistent performance without affecting audio quality. This means that your performance will not be compromised by fluctuating generator power or overloading by lighting rigs, backline gear, etc. In addition, DriveCore™Technology
's patented feedback and PWM modulation circuits enable fast recovery on peak transients, accurate reproduction of low-level detail, and precise tracking of low-frequencies at high power levels for maximum subwoofer output. Power Rating: 440W/Channel @ 8 Ohms Stereo 775W/Channel @ 4 Ohms Stereo 1550W/Channel @ 2 Ohms Stereo 1550W @ 8 Ohms Bridged 2400W @ 4 Ohms Bridged Damping Factor: > 200 Input Impedance 20 kOhms, Balanced 10 kOhms, Unbalanced Total Harmonic Distortion (THD): < 0.5% Input Connectors: 2 x XLR Inputs 2 x 1/4" Inputs 2 x RCA Inputs 1 x AC Power Input Output Connectors: 2 x Speakon Outputs 2 x Binding Post Outputs (2 Posts Each) Controls: 1 x Power Switch 2 x Level Controls Indicators: 1 x LCD Screen LED Indicators Cooling: Forced-Air Power Requirements: 120VAC, 60Hz Dimensions (WxHxD): 19 x 3.5 x 10.7" (483 x 89 x 272mm) Weight: 10.75 lbs (4.9kg)
