Crown XLC2800 – 2-Channel 900W XLC Series DriveCore Amplifier
Product Overview
The Crown XLC2800 is a two-channel, 900-watt-per-channel professional power amplifier from Crown's XLC Series with DriveCore technology, built for sound reinforcement and commercial AV installation applications where high output and operational efficiency are required. The XLC2800 is suited for main and fill speaker systems in auditoriums, houses of worship, performing arts centers, and large commercial venues requiring mid-to-high output amplification from a rack-mount chassis.
Product Description
The XLC2800 delivers 900 watts per channel into 4 ohms using Crown's DriveCore technology, which integrates driver and output stages into a proprietary IC to reduce amplifier size, weight, and heat generation at high continuous output levels. The amplifier supports 4-ohm and 8-ohm loads with comprehensive DC, thermal, and short-circuit protection for reliable commercial rack operation. The XLC Series is designed for installations where output efficiency and reduced thermal load are priorities in densely populated equipment racks.
