Crown Audio XLC 2800 2-Channel Power Amplifier – EU

Crown XLC2500 / XLC2800 Two-Channel Power Amplifiers

The Crown XLC series, including the XLC2500 and XLC2800 models, is designed to provide efficient and reliable amplification for cinema and installed sound applications. Built on Crown’s proprietary DriveCore technology, these amplifiers achieve a significant reduction in size and weight while maintaining strong output performance and energy efficiency. This makes them ideal for modern installations where space, power efficiency, and consistent audio quality are critical requirements.

The series offers two output configurations, delivering 500W (XLC2500) and 800W (XLC2800) per channel at 4 ohms. Both models support 2-ohm, 4-ohm, and 8-ohm speaker loads and allow operation in stereo, bridge, and parallel modes, providing system designers with flexible configuration options for various audio setups, including cinema surround systems. Integration with CXM2000 and DSi-8M monitoring systems enables real-time fault detection, signal monitoring, and system status reporting.

Designed with installation efficiency in mind, the XLC series features a rear-panel control layout that minimizes front-panel interaction, ensuring secure operation in rack-mounted systems. Built-in indicators provide clear status feedback for power, signal presence, clipping, and fault conditions. The lightweight DriveCore design enhances portability and reduces installation effort while maintaining high audio performance and system reliability.

With a balance of performance, affordability, and installation flexibility, the Crown XLC series is well suited for both cinema and professional installed sound environments, offering dependable amplification in a compact and efficient form factor.
