Crown XLS DriveCore 2 1502

This stereo power amplifier is built for live sound reinforcement, delivering 525W per channel at 4 ohms. It suits front-of-house engineers and touring musicians who need reliable Class D performance in a 13.6 kg chassis.

525W at 4 Ohm per channel

The single figure that determines fit is the 525W rating into a 4-ohm load on each channel. Systems wired for 8-ohm loads or requiring significantly higher continuous power will not reach their target output with this unit.

Capacity and headroom

The integrated PureBand Crossover System and Peakx Limiters manage dynamic programme material cleanly up to the rated limit. Beyond 525W per channel the protection circuitry engages, so larger venues needing more sustained output must add additional amplifier channels.

Questions about this item

What does the 525W at 4 Ohm rating deliver in a real PA setup?

It provides 525 watts per channel into a 4 ohm speaker load, giving high output for mains or monitor wedges from a lightweight Class D chassis.

How do the XLR, 1/4" and RCA inputs work with the selectable 1.4 Vrms or .775 Vrms sensitivity?

The rear panel accepts professional and consumer sources; you match the sensitivity to your mixer or source level so the amp reaches full output without clipping or excessive gain.

What mounting space and weight should I plan for with this 13.6 unit?

At 13.6 kg it fits a standard 2U rack tray; speakON and binding post outputs on the rear allow secure speaker cabling in fixed or portable installs.
