Crown Audio XLS1002 Overview

The Crown XLS 1002 Stereo Power Amplifier offers 350W at 4 Ohm in a lightweight chassis using the company's ultra-efficient DriveCore Class D amplification platform. The amplifier includes built-in DSP with a dedicated band pass filter per channel, an integrated PureBand Crossover System, and Peakx Limiters to provide maximum output while protecting your speakers.

For inputs, the rear panel includes a pair of XLR-3F connectors, 1/4" and RCA inputs for flexible connections with a selectable input sensitivity of either 1.4 Vrms or 0.775 Vrms. Outputs are provided on both speakON and binding post connectors.

You can set the amplifier's sleep mode for a designated period of time without having to press a button, as well as turn off all LED indicators except for clip and thermal to reduce distractions in dark venues. A security mode can be engaged to disable menu buttons, which can be locked and unlocked by entering a combination code. Full system reset allows for factory settings to be restored and a remote power trigger allows you to turn the unit on and off.

Great product

This is the third of these amps I've bought-- this one for the home studio monitoring system. The other two are used for an annual broadway musical I do sound for and Crown just makes a superior product.

Its working

I havent gotten the chance to let the amp stretch its legs yet. Its hooked up and pushing a 2ohm load at 1100 watts. Ive hardly gotten the volume up to 25% yet. Im looking forward to pushing this soon. The hookup was obviously quick and easy. The menu is condensed nicely. Being able to turn the lights off and lock the controls is handy. I just disabled the lcd, as its pretty bright. This application isnt rack mounted and the amp does not have feet if anyone cares to know. I went to the hardware store and bought some stick on rubber bits for a few bucks. Works great.

Can I use 2 of these for my Atmos speakers 4 speakers?
Asked by: dennis
So long as your Atmos speakers were spec'd for a program power rating of 200 watts at 8 ohms per speaker, then yes this amp could work. To maintain 4 channel separation, you would want to run 2 amps for 4 speakers.

Does it do summing in bridge mode to thru both channels from satellite unit to subwoofer unit?
Asked by: Lars
No. When using the Crown Audio XLS 1002 Stereo Power Amplifier in bridge mode, the power of both amp channels is summed into a single channel, so only one output is available.

question

I saw in pics that it's has some kind of selector For 220v, it's multivoltage?thanks!
Asked by: Hernan
Unfortunately, the Crown Audio XLS 1002 does not feature a worldwide power supply. They come factory set to work in the region in which they have been sold to; in our case, North America. The marking in the back with the various voltage selections are just an indicator of the options available through crown, but are most definitely marked by region.
