Enormous power and flexibility in a highly portable power amp.
Crown's XLS 2000 power amplifier is a premiere portable PA system with unmatched performance, technology
and affordability. It includes multiple inputs so you can plug in anything and play anywhere, along with several system setup
configurations. This high-performance power amp provides enormous power and flexibility thanks to the integrated DriveCore
Technology, PureBand Crossover System and Peakx limiters. Weighing less than 12 pounds, the Crown XLS2000 power amp is much
easier to set up and move from show to show.
A Power Amp with 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 developing this technology resulting in truly remarkable benefits. The DriveCore
Technology in this Crown power amp provides an extremely wide tolerance with regards to sagging or "dirty" AC line conditions,
providing consistent performance without affecting audio quality. This means the XLS2000 power amplifier will not compromise
your performance by fluctuating generator power, or overload from 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.
Advanced
Switched-Mode Power Supply
This advanced power supply in the Crown XLS2000 power amp is highly efficient and optimized for maximum power transfer from
the AC line through the Class D output stage to the loudspeakers. A benefit to this is substantial weight reduction when compared
to older 60Hz transformer-based power supplies.
PureBand Crossover System
The PureBand Crossover System in the Crown XLS Series adds an enormous amount of flexibility and performance to any system.
With this system, the crossover frequency is completely variable allowing the choice of any crossover point between 50Hz and
3kHz on 1/12 octave centers. The use of 4th order Linkwitz-Riley filters provide steep slopes for a seamless transition between
high and low drivers. And with four crossover modes to choose from providing the ultimate in flexibility, all of your system
needs are covered.
Peakx limiters
Peakx limiters provide the ultimate in performance and protection for your entire system. This advanced algorithm was specifically
developed and tuned to work with this amplifier and power-supply to achieve higher SPL will less audible artifacts. This means
less distortion, less shutdowns, and maximum safe power delivered to your speakers. The Crown power amp's Peakx limiters can
be easily turned on or off by channel right from the front panel eliminating the need to be digging around in the back of
the dark rack.
