Quick Specifications
| Amplifier type | 2-channel Class-D power amplifier |
| Stereo output at 4Ω | 350W per channel |
| Stereo output at 8Ω | 215W per channel |
| Bridge-mono output | 1100W at 4Ω / 700W at 8Ω |
| Net weight | 8.6 lb / 3.9 kg |
The Crown XLS1002 is a lightweight two-channel professional power amplifier designed for portable PA systems, live sound, installed audio, stage monitors, full-range loudspeakers and subwoofer systems.
Crown DriveCore Class-D technology delivers high output from a compact 2U chassis while keeping the amplifier’s net weight to only 8.6 lb. Each channel provides 550W at 2 ohms, 350W at 4 ohms or 215W at 8 ohms.
For higher-power single-speaker applications, the XLS1002 can operate in bridge-mono mode at 1100W into 4 ohms or 700W into 8 ohms. Its onboard DSP provides crossover, band-pass filtering and limiter functions without requiring a separate external processor.

Important Speaker Compatibility Notice
The Crown XLS1002 is a low-impedance power amplifier for compatible 2-ohm, 4-ohm and 8-ohm speaker loads.
Do not connect the amplifier directly to a 70V or 100V distributed speaker line. Bridge-mono operation requires a minimum 4-ohm load. Confirm the loudspeaker impedance and power rating before connecting the system.
- PureBand crossover control for speaker and subwoofer systems
- Band-pass filter control for each amplifier channel
- Peakx limiters for connected-speaker protection
- Selectable 1.4Vrms and 0.775Vrms input sensitivity
- Configurable sleep mode
- Front-panel menu-security function
- System reset for restoring factory settings
- Adjustable front-panel indicator lighting
- Portable PA speaker systems
- Live music and performance venues
- DJ and event audio systems
- Stage monitor amplification
- Commercial low-impedance sound systems
- Passive full-range loudspeakers

- Turn off the amplifier and all connected audio equipment before making connections.
- Connect the mixer, processor, receiver or source equipment to the appropriate XLR, ¼-inch or RCA inputs.
- Connect compatible low-impedance loudspeakers to the SpeakON or binding-post outputs.
- Select stereo, input-Y or bridge-mono operation as required by the speaker system.
- Configure the input sensitivity, crossover and limiter settings before raising the volume.
- Begin with the channel-level controls lowered and increase the level gradually while checking for clipping or speaker distortion.
