Crown Audio XLS2502 Two-channel 775W Power Amplifier

Crown Audio XLS2502 Two-channel 775W Power Amplifier

The XLS2502 packs serious amplification into a compact, lightweight 2U chassis—ideal for studio monitoring systems, live recording rigs, and mid-scale PA setups that demand both headroom and efficiency. Its Class D DriveCore technology runs cool and clean under extended session work, delivering transparent amplification with minimal distortion across demanding monitoring and speaker applications. The redesigned front panel features a display three times larger than its predecessor, making parameter monitoring and menu navigation straightforward during critical recording sessions and real-time adjustments.

Power & Efficiency for Studio & Stage

This amp outputs 440W per channel at 8 ohms, 775W at 4 ohms, and 1200W at 2 ohms, with bridged-mode capability reaching 2400W at 4 ohms for maximum headroom in larger rooms or paired with demanding speaker arrays. The ultra-efficient DriveCore topology keeps the 10.8-lb chassis cool under load with forced-air fan cooling, eliminating thermal stress during extended recording sessions and live monitoring scenarios.

Audio Quality & Precision Control

Signal integrity remains pristine with THD below 0.5%, signal-to-noise ratio greater than 103dB, and damping factor exceeding 200—specifications that ensure tight, accurate speaker control across the full 20 Hz to 20 kHz frequency response, critical for accurate monitoring and mix translation. The integrated PureBand Crossover System, bandpass filters per channel, and Peakx Limiters provide professional-grade DSP control for fine-tuning monitoring systems and protecting speakers during peak transients.
