The Crown XLS 1002 DriveCore 2 is the successor of the successful first Drive-Core generation. It performs 2x 350 watts into 4 ohms. Due to its neutral sound, excellent dynamics and enormous headroom, it is versatile.
Typical applications for the XLS 1002 are PA systems, live events, small clubs and discos, AV area, cinema respectively home theater, installation (church, schools, town halls, multi-purpose halls).
Above all, it is very light. It weighs only 3.9 kg. The reason for the low weight is the patented DriveCore 2 circuit design. Functions of many components have been combined on one chip.
The energy management is unique. By recovering energy, the XLS amplifiers work particularly efficiently. It is therefore more powerful than conventional amplifiers. New is the sleep mode and a power trigger for switching the power amplifier on and off externally.

Simple to set up and operate out of the box. Low power draw and runs cool.
A basic remote would be useful so you don't have to be at the unit to turn on/off or change settings.
Purchased a pair of these to bolster up monitoring / play back in a studio setting when a bit more power is required through passive speakers and subs. The internal crossover works well, the cut off frequencies are fine plus the physical running noise even when the fans are running is very good just cant hear them at all. Build quality very good. Excellent value.
