question

Are the 1/4 inputs balanced or unbalanced?
Asked by: Dan C.
You may want to down load the data sheet or manual for the 1502. I can't say for sure but I think they are balanced.

question

I understand the term DriveCore Class D amplification platform but is there a difference, in the sound, between this and the one with the toroidal transformer?I have both of them and the second seems to have a better sound. Am i right?
Asked by: Nelson H. G.
Nelson, A Class D amp uses a chip instead of a transformer primarily as a means to reduce weight. However, in the last 10-15 years, Class D amps have made great strides and now boast less distortion, better frequency response, and more efficiency than the sort of Class A/B amps with transformers that you mentioned. This means that the XLS 1502 will deliver more accuracy and better overall sound than older counterparts.

question

Harmonic distortion is specified at >0.5%. How much greater or Is this a typo?
Asked by: Anonymous
That is a TYPO. It should read <0.5% (Info from the Crown XLS 1002 Manual).
