The XLS 2502 is a two-channel power amplifier from the Crown XLS DriveCore 2 series, rated at 775W per channel into 4 ohms. Its DriveCore Class D design keeps the weight under 11 lb (5 kg), and Crown recommends it for portable PA systems.

The onboard DSP includes the PureBand crossover system, a band-pass filter on each channel and PeakX limiters that protect your speakers. A large LCD handles setup, and in dark venues you can switch off every LED except clip and thermal. Speakers connect by Speakon or binding posts.
