The Crown XLC 21300 is a high-performance, cost-effective power amplifier designed specifically for cinema applications, delivering a powerful 1300W at 4? and 1000W at 8? per channel. It is part of Crown's XLC Series, offering reliable and robust power amplification to meet the demands of professional cinema sound systems. The XLC 21300 is an ideal solution for driving subwoofers and full-range speakers, providing flexibility, power, and integration capabilities essential for cinema audio environments. With its multiple output and input modes, diagnostics, and seamless integration with the JBL CPi2000 cinema processor, the XLC 21300 ensures that cinema sound systems operate at peak performance.
One of the standout features of the Crown XLC 21300 is its ability to operate in various configurations, including stereo, parallel, input Y, and bridged-mono-output modes. This flexibility allows sound engineers to easily integrate the amplifier into a wide range of sound system setups. The HD-15 input connection provides seamless connectivity with the JBL CPi2000 cinema processor, enhancing system functionality with DSP, room EQ tuning, volume control, and system fault detection. When combined with JBL Cinema Expansion Series speakers and subwoofers, the XLC 21300 becomes part of a fully integrated JBL cinema sound solution, delivering clean, powerful, and immersive audio experiences.
The amplifier's high power output makes it especially suited for driving subwoofers in cinema sound systems, providing 1000W at 8? and 1300W at 4?. In bridged mono mode, the XLC 21300 delivers a remarkable 2700W at 8?, offering more than enough headroom to handle demanding low-frequency effects (LFE) and high-powered speaker setups. The amplifier also boasts a frequency response of +0/-1 dB, ensuring accurate sound reproduction across the audible spectrum, while the signal-to-noise ratio of over 100 dB keeps noise levels low, allowing for crystal-clear audio.
Monitoring and diagnostics are key to maintaining optimal performance, and the Crown XLC 21300 excels in this area. Built-in diagnostics help monitor the amplifier and speaker loading when used with third-party control and TMS (Theater Management System) systems, providing real-time data on system status. Front-panel LED indicators for Power, Signal, Clip, Bridged Output, and Fault provide instant visual feedback on system health and performance, while a dedicated Power LED shows the amplifier's operational status, including standby, normal operation, and default modes. The rear-panel volume controls make it easy to adjust output levels, and the amplifier's forced-air cooling system ensures stable performance even during extended use in demanding environments.
Designed for durability and ease of installation, the XLC 21300 features a rugged chassis and a single-rack-unit form factor that fits easily into standard equipment racks. Its lightweight, 39.46 lb construction and compact dimensions (19 x 14.4 x 3.5 inches) make it a practical choice for cinema professionals looking to maximize rack space without sacrificing power or performance. The rear panel includes a 4-pin barrier strip for output connections, as well as input connectors that include 6-pin Phnix female and HD-15 female options for flexible system integration.
The Crown XLC 21300 amplifier is built to perform in demanding environments while providing a reliable and high-power audio solution. With its advanced features, integration capabilities, and diagnostic tools, the XLC 21300 is a powerful addition to any cinema sound system, ensuring top-tier audio quality for theatergrs and cinema operators alike.
