Crown XLS 1502 – 2-Channel 525W DriveCore Power Amplifier
Product Overview
The Crown XLS 1502 is a 2-channel 525W DriveCore 2 power amplifier delivering increased power over the XLS 1002 while maintaining the lightweight, efficient design that makes the XLS DriveCore 2 series a professional favorite. With onboard DSP and a featherlight 11-pound chassis, the XLS 1502 is an outstanding choice for medium-sized PA and installed sound applications.
Product Description
The Crown XLS 1502 steps up from the XLS 1002 to deliver 525 watts per channel, making it suitable for medium-sized PA systems, installed sound in larger venues, and applications where the XLS 1002's output falls short. Crown's DriveCore 2 technology keeps the weight down to just 11 pounds — a remarkable achievement for a 525W/channel amplifier. The onboard DSP includes sweepable high-pass and low-pass filters with crossover mode selection, providing integrated loudspeaker management without additional hardware.
