Crown XLS1002

Two-channel, 350W at 4Ω Power Amplifier

Crown’s new XLS DriveCore 2 series of power amplifiers feature an upgraded look with a larger display. Like their predecessors, the new XLS amps are equipped with Crown’s patented DriveCore technology. The XLS1002 can drive your speakers with 350 watts (at 4Ω bridged) of clean power with very low distortion.

DriveCore circuitry maintains Class D high efficiency with low noise Two-channel power amplifier with built-in crossover Independent right- and left-channel gain controls LCD screen with menu/prev/next buttons Sleep mode turns LCD screen off for less distraction Security mode prevents tampering Internal heat sinks with forced-air cooling

XLS DriveCore 2 Series Technology

DriveCore

This new amplifier technology seamlessly integrates the amplifier drive stage into the power output stage fusing everything into a chip the size of a dime. The foundational DriveCore circuitry is based on breakthroughs by Crown’s own Gerald Stanley with five patents applying to the advanced feedback, modulation and output stage technologies. DriveCore’s front-end drive circuits leverage the inherent efficiency of Class D output stages while also maintaining superb sonic characteristics. The end result is an ultra-efficient one-piece audio amplifier circuit that exhibits the exemplary audio quality of a highly evolved Class AB design.

Class-1

Class-I, also known as BCA (Balanced Current Amplifier) is Crown’s patented, cutting-edge technology that gets more power out of an amplifier with less waste than was ever before possible. Class-I technology offers several key advantages. It provides unprecedented efficiency, requiring less power from the AC supply than other designs and that can add up to significant cost savings over the life of the amplifier. Class-I handles reactive loudspeaker loads easily and gracefully, by reusing energy returned from the loudspeaker rather than dissipating it as heat or forcing the amp into premature current limiting.
