Feature Details:


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 the development of this technology resulting in truly remarkable benefits.

Advanced Switched-Mode Power Supply
This advanced power supply 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. All four models in the line weigh 10 pounds or less with no compromise in performance. This makes the XLS 2000 the benchmark for high performance lightweight portability.

PureBand Crossover System
The PureBand Crossover System in the Crown XLS 2000 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 provides 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 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. zZounds is an authorized dealer of Crown products.

Customer Reviews
4.5 out of 5 (5 ratings) Rate and Review This Product
zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us. "Crown XLS 2000 Power Amp"
Overall: This is a great power amp for the price. It’s made in overseas but the quality appears to be top notch. It’s light weight and has a nice shallow depth so it fits perfect in a SKB shallow rack case. The amp is packed with a lot’s of features. The manual is not inclusive of everything this amp can do which is strange. I had to e-mail the company a few times through their customer support and I got an answer back within 1 day or sooner. Customer support is in the USA by the way and they know the products inside and out. I’m very impressed with Crown’s customer service. I’ve used the amp at a few gigs so far and it has performed great. Lots of head room with the 2000 model. I had the 1500 model at first but I sent it back because I wanted more head room. The 2000 model does it. If you are buying one of these amps spend the extra money and get the 2000 model. The only negative is it doesn’t have the combo Speakon ¼ output jacks for speakers. It just has the Speakon, RCA, and bare wire connectors outputs. Speakon is kind of the industry standard these days but the ¼ combo jacks are nice in case you are in a situation where you need to connect a speaker using a ¼ jack. I purchased a Speakon ¼ adaptor that I carry around with the amp just in case so problem solved but I can’t imagine it would have cost that much more to build it with the combo jacks. Other than that issue I really would not change a thing with the amp. If you want a super light weight and powerful amp head this is it.
