Crown XLS 2002 – 2-Channel 650W DriveCore Power Amplifier
Product Overview
The Crown XLS 2002 is a 2-channel 650W DriveCore 2 power amplifier stepping up to 13.5 pounds with increased output power for medium-to-large professional audio applications. Part of Crown's acclaimed XLS DriveCore 2 series, the XLS 2002 combines efficient Class D performance with onboard DSP for a complete amplification and signal processing solution.
Product Description
The Crown XLS 2002 delivers 650 watts per channel into 4 ohms, handling medium-to-large PA systems, installed sound applications, and active subwoofer configurations with reliability and efficiency. Crown's DriveCore 2 technology keeps the chassis remarkably lightweight at 13.5 pounds — a fraction of the weight of comparable traditional amplifiers. The onboard DSP provides sweepable high-pass and low-pass filtering with crossover mode selection, reducing the need for external signal processing equipment in most applications.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is the advantage of DriveCore 2 over traditional amplifier designs?
- DriveCore 2 integrates the driver and output stage into a single chip, dramatically reducing component count, chassis weight, and power consumption. The result is an amplifier that weighs a fraction of its Class AB equivalent while delivering comparable or better audio performance.
- How does the XLS 2002 compare to the XLS 2502?
- The XLS 2502 delivers 775W per channel versus 650W for the XLS 2002. The XLS 2502 is the better choice for applications requiring maximum output from the XLS DriveCore 2 platform. Both share the same technology and feature set.
- What bridged mono output does the XLS 2002 provide?
- In bridged mono mode, the XLS 2002 delivers approximately 1300W into 8Ω — suitable for high-output subwoofer applications.
- Can the XLS 2002 drive 2Ω loads?
- The XLS 2002 is rated for 4Ω minimum per channel in stereo mode. Please consult the user manual for bridged mono impedance specifications and safe operating parameters.
- What warranty applies?
- The Crown XLS 2002 carries Crown's 3-year limited warranty for professional audio amplifiers.
