Crown XLC 2500 - 2-Channel 500W at at 4-Ohm Power Amplifier for Cinema Applications in Black Finish

The Crown XLC 2500 is a highly efficient and powerful 2-channel power amplifier designed specifically for cinema applications. With an output of 500W at 4 ohms and 775W at 2 ohms per channel, this amplifier delivers the reliable power needed for clear, high-quality sound reproduction in cinema environments. Its integration of Crown's proprietary DriveCore Technology allows for compact, energy-efficient operation while still providing the legendary sound quality and durability that Crown is known for. Weighing in at just under 14 lbs, the XLC 2500 is both lightweight and easy to install, making it an ideal choice for cinema and install markets where space, power, and performance are crucial.

One of the key features of the Crown XLC 2500 is its compatibility with Crown's cinema monitoring and crossover systems, including the Crown Monitor and Crossover System CXM2000 for monitor, fault detection, and crossover functions, as well as the DSi-8M for monitoring alone. The amplifier is capable of driving 2?, 4?, and 8? loads, providing the flexibility needed for various speaker configurations, including the parallel connection of cinema surround speakers. The rear panel gain control offers convenient adjustments, while the built-in Power, Signal, Clip, and Fault LED indicators provide accurate diagnostics and ensure that operators can monitor amplifier performance in real time.

The XLC 2500 supports multiple input and output configurations, including stereo, parallel, and bridged-mono modes, making it versatile for different sound system setups. In bridged mode, the amplifier can deliver up to 1550W at 4? and 1000W at 8?, providing ample power for driving larger speaker systems or subwoofers. The amplifier's low total harmonic distortion (<0.5%) ensures that sound reproduction is clean and free from distortion, while the high damping factor (>200) ensures tight control of the speakers, especially in the low-frequency range.

Designed for high performance and ease of use, the Crown XLC 2500 incorporates a host of advanced features to ensure optimal sound quality and reliability. It features an impressive signal-to-noise ratio of over 103 dB, delivering exceptionally quiet operation even at high power levels. The frequency response is flat at 0dB, ensuring accurate sound reproduction across the entire audible range. In addition, the amplifier's robust input and output connectors, including 20kOhm balanced and 10kOhm unbalanced inputs, make it compatible with a wide range of audio systems and components.

The Crown XLC 2500's sleek, lightweight design and compact dimensions (19 x 8 x 3.5 inches) make it a practical choice for space-constrained installations, while its efficient cooling system ensures reliable operation even during extended use. The amplifier's rugged construction, combined with its advanced protection features such as short-circuit protection and thermal management, ensures that it will deliver years of trouble-free performance in demanding environments.

Overall, the Crown XLC 2500 offers cinema professionals a powerful, versatile, and cost-effective amplification solution, combining cutting-edge technology, flexible configuration options, and outstanding reliability into a compact and affordable package.
