The Crown XLS2002 is a professional two-channel power amplifier designed for portable PA systems, live sound, DJs, performance venues, passive loudspeakers, stage monitors and subwoofer systems.
Crown DriveCore Class-D technology delivers substantial output from a lightweight 2U rackmount chassis. The amplifier provides 1050W per channel at 2 ohms, 650W per channel at 4 ohms and 375W per channel at 8 ohms.
For higher-powered single-speaker or subwoofer applications, the XLS2002 supports bridge-mono operation at 2100W into 4 ohms or 1300W into 8 ohms.
Integrated DSP provides high-pass, low-pass and band-pass filtering, while the PureBand crossover and Peakx limiters help optimize system performance and protect compatible loudspeakers.

Important Speaker Compatibility Notice
The Crown XLS2002 is a low-impedance power amplifier for compatible 2-ohm, 4-ohm and 8-ohm passive 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 speaker impedance and power rating before connection.
- High-pass, low-pass and band-pass filters per channel
- Integrated PureBand crossover system
- Peakx output limiters for speaker protection
- Selectable 1.4Vrms and 0.775Vrms sensitivity
- Selectable stereo, input-Y and bridge-mono modes
- Configurable display sleep mode
- Menu-security lock function
- Factory system-reset function
- Remote sleep-mode trigger
- Adjustable front-panel LED lighting
- Portable professional PA systems
- Live bands and performance venues
- DJ and event sound systems
- Stage monitor amplification
- Commercial low-impedance sound systems
- Passive full-range loudspeakers
- Passive subwoofer systems
- Installed venue audio systems
- Community halls and recreation centres
- Schools and houses of worship
Confirm the loudspeaker’s nominal impedance, continuous power rating and recommended amplifier range before connecting it to the XLS2002.
- Turn off the amplifier and connected audio equipment before making input or speaker connections.
- Connect the mixer, processor, receiver or audio source to the appropriate XLR, ¼-inch or RCA inputs.
- Connect compatible passive loudspeakers to the SpeakON-compatible or binding-post outputs.
- Select stereo, input-Y or bridge-mono operation for the required speaker configuration.
- Configure the input sensitivity, crossover filters and Peakx limiters before raising the output level.
- Begin with the front-panel level controls lowered and increase the level gradually while monitoring the clip and thermal indicators.
